5 steps to pitch NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast

  1. 1

    Listen before you pitch

    Play two or three recent episodes of NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast so you understand its format, length, and the kind of guest NerdWallet Personal Finance tends to book. A pitch that clearly fits the show beats a generic one every time.

  2. 2

    Find how NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast books guests

    Check the show notes, the host's website, and the show's Apple Podcasts page for a guest or contact link. Many finance & investing shows list a booking form or an email address for pitches.

  3. 3

    Lead with a specific, relevant angle

    Hosts want a clear framework or thesis you can defend, grounded in real experience with money or markets. Open with one sentence on why you fit NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast and the exact topic you would bring to an episode. See our pitch template.

  4. 4

    Have a guest one-sheet ready

    Hosts book faster when your bio, topics, headshot, and links live in one place. Build a free one-sheet with Let's Make A Podcast that you can send in seconds. What a one-sheet needs.

  5. 5

    Send a short pitch, then follow up once

    Keep the pitch tight and personal — a few sentences, not an essay. If you do not hear back within a week, send one polite follow-up and then move on to the next show.
