One of the emails you will receive upon subscribing to the membership is an email with your login credentials.

If cannot find this email, it could be due to the following:

• It may have landed in a junk/spam or other folder. Please check these folders and search your email account for an email from hello@test.baconpants.thepodcastcollaborative.com.
• You may have been a member previously. If you created an account in the past and have resubscribed, you will not receive a new email with your login credentials. You may use your previous credentials or choose the ‘Lost Your Password’ function on the login page to gain access.

The next virtual mixer will be posted on the Virtual Meetings page a week or so after the previous one is complete. When available, the next mixer date is also sent out in the weekly member update emails.

The mixer day and time is shuffled each month in order to accommodate various schedules and time zones. You will typically receive 3 to 4 weeks advanced notice.

We’ve got you covered! If you are new to pitching and not sure what to do, you will find valuable resources exclusive to members. You will gain access to a podcast guest pitching blueprint and checklist to help you along the way. See the Membership Info page for more resources.

If you are guest, it is suggested to start by working through the Podcast Guest Success Blueprint that is available on the Membership Info. (scroll to the ‘Download the Guides’ section).

If you are host, it is suggested to start by working through the Podcast Episode Planning Guide available on the Membership Info.

As with finding any type of collaborations, finding podcast collaborations take time and effort on your part. Even seasoned PR specialists need to reach out to MANY podcasts before finding the right ones. If you land about 5 spots for every 30 pitches you send (assuming your pitch is spot on) then you are on par with their stats.

A great way to bypass the cold pitching is to join us at our virtual mixers that are held once per month. As a guest, you get an opportunity to pitch yourself to interested podcasters, talk about the value and strengths you bring to a podcast, and why people should collab with you. And if you are a host, it is an amazing way to instantly take the guesswork out of finding great guests that match your vibe and that your listeners will love.

If you feel that you do not have time to use the directory, it will be hard but not impossible to make good use of what it has to offer.

A few suggestions are:

• Get started with just the basics in section one on the Start Here page.
• Make a commitment to join the virtual mixers – this allows you to network very efficiently in one hour
• Hire a virtual assistance to work through the guides and directories and do your outreach for you

If you are still struggling to find the right connections reach out to us and we will try to help with your issues (this may have limited availability as we work hard to make the membership more valuable to you.

If you are new to having guests on your podcast and want some help in preparing, you may access our Podcast Episode Planning Guide. The guide consists of two sections. Section 1 includes a guide that walks you through an overview of the steps to take before you accept a guest, before you interview a guest, during the guest interview and after the interview. Section 2 is the planning section where you can plan your goals, brainstorm your topics, find your guests and create each episode with purpose. The guide can be found at the Membership Info.

This directory is intended for single use. If you are planning to use the directory for more than one client, it will be required to purchase additional memberships. One membership allows for one host listing per podcast that the member owns and one guest listing. Please see our Terms of Use for further information.

Want to get yourself out there while connecting with other amazing people? Podcasting and podcast guesting are two of the best ways to:

• Position yourself as a leader in your niche
• Become an authority that your followers know, like and trust
• Grow your own podcast or social media
• Build your email list so that you have a direct line of communication to your audience
• Develop lasting relationships with others in your field or complimentary fields, opening up doors to further collaborations

This membership enables you to create amazing podcasts together through the means of connecting you for collaborations. This directory does not promise business or podcast growth as a result of the collaborations. As with any other business process, marketing yourself and/or your podcast comes with consistent effort on your part. Once you have made the connections, the results you see will be dependent on the systems you have put in place to make the most of your collaborations. The Podcast Guest Blueprint and the Podcast Episode Planning Guide will help you move in the right direction for this, but they do not promise results or guarantee your success. (They are available on the Membership Info.) The sky is the limit but you have to be ready to put in the work, patience and time.

As this membership is a work in progress and continually evolving, we am always happy to learn of any suggestions you may have. Our goal is to make this membership as helpful and as valuable to you as possible. Please don’t hesitate to email us at hello@thepodcastcollaborative.com. We would love to hear from you!
