I’m not going to endorse this idea, but I will say it’s kinda clever. This company, in an attempt to get you to actually read what they want you to, sends you $0.02 over PayPal. PayPal formats the message pretty large so it stands out.
They are a pitching company and getting clever with pitches makes it seem like they’ll be pretty good at the job.
It can’t remain effective forever though, so for actual advice, I’d stick with honest, well-written, authentic emails.
Also, sorry PodPitch.com, I get at least a couple of pitches for “put this person on your podcast” every week and, I don’t know if they are from you, but they suck. I’ve never once bit on one, and in fact, is such a turnoff I’d be hesitant to ever have someone on who has pitched in this way. Because it’s a lie. They tend to start with stuff like “we just listened to your [recent episode here] and it was good!” — which is fake pandering and makes me feel like you are a dishonest person. They pitch above, which is probably a recycled generic message they use, at least feels in the realm of honest.
