Get More Podcast Interviews with our Proven System for Outreach Using VAs

Podcasts are growing rapidly and they're looking for new guest all the time. The beauty...you can get on them using a VA.

Get the Course

Are you struggling to get on podcasts?

It can be hard! We know because we spent months testing different strategies to get onto podcasts when we first started our second business, FreeeUp. We landed a few podcast interviews, but the time it took us to find podcasts and qualify them took away from working on our business. Combine that with getting rejected a lot and we had to figure out a better process.

Is research taking too much of your time?

Podcast research and outreach takes a lot of time. From doing the initial research into the right podcasts for you to pitch, to finding contact information for the podcast host, to actually reaching out with a good email pitch…the time adds up and can pull you away from other things in your business. Not to mention that once you send the pitch, you need to follow up and make sure that they actually give you a shot at being a guest. If you do it right, it can easily eat up 2-3 hours of your day. We experienced the same thing at first, but eventually realized that it was the perfect role for a virtual assistant.

Are hosts not responding to you?

Podcast hosts are super busy people, right? On an average day, the more popular podcasts probably get tens if not hundreds of people reaching out asking if they can be a guest on their podcast. How do you differentiate yourself from the pack and make the podcast host interested in what you’re saying? How do you craft an email or social media pitch that grabs their attention and makes then think, “Wow, I need this person…my audience would absolutely love them and their content.” Easier said than done, but in this Formula, we share exactly what we’ve learned over the years and exact outreach templates that you can use to increase your chances of being heard by podcast hosts. 

Are you not optimizing the shows that you are able to get on?

Once you actually land an interview on a podcast, you then need to be ready to absolutely NAIL it. From the right tech set up to knowing the questions of the interview beforehand to having stories that you can share to avoiding the “um’s” and “uh’s” to creating a good rapport with the host during the interview…there’s a hell of a lot that goes into nailing the actual interview once you get on one. If you’re feeling nervous and weary about the podcasts that you are getting, we’ll give you a formula you can follow for prepping for interviews so your confidence will soar and podcast hosts will be impressed by your preparation. After going on 300+ podcasts we know what to expect and how to prepare you.

Do you wish someone else could handle the research for you?

Imagine that…having a system for all of the research and being able to pass it off to someone else so that all you have to focus on is actually pitching and landing the interview and dominating it once the podcast host is ready to record…

Would that be a dream or what? In this Formula, we’ll teach you exactly how to get to that point. You’ll save hours each day by passing the repetitive work off to a reliable virtual assistant and you’ll be able to focus your time on the parts of the podcast pitch and interview that matter the most. 

Do you long for getting on higher level podcasts?

If you’re already getting on podcasts, are you always wishing that you could get on even better ones? Of course you are. It’s natural that we always want to take things to the next level. If you’re focused on business podcasts, you want to get to the Entrepreneur on Fire level where thousands of people are hearing your interview and visiting your business because of it. It’s by no means an easy task to accomplish, but we know from experience that it’s 100% possible with hard work and the right system. 

Is this course for you?

If you answered “Yes” to any of the above questions, this Formula is a perfect fit for you. We’ve spent the past 4 years mastering the art of podcast research, outreach, and interviews and we’re putting it all into this Formula. Collectively, we’ve been on over 300 podcasts and we’ve developed a system of working with virtual assistants that truly works. 

We’ve seen the positive outcomes of podcast interviews (increased traffic, increased new customers, increased word of mouth, and improved brand awareness) and we want to share that knowledge with you so that you can tap into the same results as well. 

Whether you’re looking to get on your first podcast ever or you’ve been on a bunch already, this Formula will give you a tested and proven system for research, outreach, and mastering podcast interviews that you can use for years to come. Best yet, the system is optimized for using a virtual assistant so that your time is valued and only spent on the highest impact areas of the process. 

"I saw Nathan doing a lot of podcasts so I reached out to find out the benefits and how he got on so many. I learned some of his strategies and quickly applied it to my business. I hired a VA from FreeeUp and 4 months later I have been on over 100 podcasts. It is now a key part of our marketing plan going forward. As time has progressed, I have been featured on larger and larger podcasts and have seen our brand grow simultaneously. I strongly recommend this formula to anyone that wants a simple and easy to use strategy to get on more podcasts using a part-time virtual assistant."

Who are Nathan and Connor?

Nathan Hirsch and Connor Gillivan are 10+ year entrepreneurs. They built their first eCommerce business to $25 million in total sales using virtual assistants. Then, they scaled and sold their second company, FreeeUp, with a 100% remote team of virtual assistants. They have been recognized on 250+ podcasts such as Entrepreneur on Fire and were on the Entrepreneur 360 List for two years in a row commending them as one of the best entrepreneurial companies in America. At their core, they are systems entrepreneurs always looking for new ways to automate and outsource to virtual assistants and talented professionals.

Why trust us to teach you podcast outreach?

We’re entrepreneurs just like you. 

For 10+ years, we’ve been working together scaling digital businesses with remote teams and we’ve had to learn from our own mistakes.

For years, we struggled, hired the wrong people, ran into turnover, and were frustrated with the current education out there surrounding hiring and scaling with virtual assistants. 

With our first eCommerce business, we scaled it to a team of 30+ virtual assistants and sold over $25 million on the Amazon Marketplace.

With our second business, FreeeUp, we scaled it into a team of 45+ virtual assistants and $12 million in yearly revenue from a $5,000 initial investment. 

In 2019, we sold FreeeUp and the team of 45+ virtual assistants to The HOTH. 

After scaling and selling FreeeUp, we decided it was time that we share our exact systems for how we did it so other entrepreneurs could replicate our success.

We wanted to create a better online education platform where entrepreneurs could really learn how to scale with a remote team and avoid all of the pitfalls we had to fight through. 

A big part of growing and selling FreeeUp was being heard on business and entrepreneurship podcasts. From the very start, we were focused on getting on as many as possible and creating systems that made it less time consuming on our parts to keep it going consistently.

Over the years, we tinkered with processes we found to work best and we implemented virtual assistants within the system using SOPs and tested methods for interviewing, onboarding, training, and managing. 

In this Formula, we share our years of experimentation and success with you so you too can set up a successful system for reaching out to podcasts and landing interviews with them. 

We’d love to help you achieve your podcast interview dreams. We hope you’ll give us a shot!

Sincerely,

Nathan Hirsch & Connor Gillivan, Co-founders of Outsource School

We never had the guidance we needed when scaling our businesses remotely. 

It slowed us down, set us back, and forced us to learn from our own mistakes. 

Hell, it took us at least 5 years initially to understand how it could be done effectively.

We created Outsource School and The Podcast Outreach Formula so you don’t have to endure the same frustrations.

If you’re struggling to make a decision, think of the goals that you have for your business and your personal brand over the next year. Think of who you want to become and where you want your name to be heard. 

If you’re envisioning a future where you’re regularly appearing on podcast interviews and people know you from your podcast interviews, then this Formula is a right fit for you. 

We want to see you succeed and we’ll be there for you as you make it through the Podcast Outreach Formula. 

Best case scenario, you walk away with a proven system for researching and landing new podcast interviews using a virtual assistant. 

Worst case, you feel like you really didn’t get what you expected and we’ll give you a full refund.

Like we said above, we’re not here to cheat anyone. 

We love scaling remote teams and using podcast interviews to grow businesses. We want to share that passion with you so you can do it too. 

If you have any questions, reach out to us personally at Support@OutsourceSchool.com. 

We’re here for you. 

Sincerely,
