![]() Appear.in: The Best App for Online Interviews ![]() I’m also testing out another email automation app called Gmelius that lets me fully automate my outreach with email marketing-like campaigns and sequences in Gmail. I batch my emails in one afternoon then schedule them to go out on different days. Saving and using specific email templates for following up, outreach, etc. Writing emails now and scheduling them to send later (even when I’m not online - an important feature) So if I type in “podcast90”, for example, Alfred will automatically change that text to my podcast-specific Calendly link that lets a guest schedule a 90-minute podcast interview Bonus App: MailButler I use Alfred as a text expander, among other things. My Appear.in video chat link (more on that later) is already saved in the every Calendly invite so the link appears in my guest’s calendar invite - no more hunting around for the meeting link! I have a setting on my Calendly that sends my guests a reminder of our interview 24 hours before it happens. I batch my interviews into Tuesday or Thursday afternoons so I have the rest of the week for deep work. I ask my guests to allot 90 minutes for the interview, which covers the initial pre-interview banter and any post-interview talk before we get off the call. Here are a few more details about my Calendly setup This way I can use one Calendly account for both my business meetings and podcast interviews. Calendly lets me make different event types that have their own settings and time periods. My Calendly account is linked to my Google Calendar so meetings don’t overlap. I use Calendly to send a link to my guests so they can schedule a time. ![]() Here’s how I use them: Calendly + Google Calendar: Scheduling and Managing Guests I’ll be mentioning a few more apps in this post, but these are the main ones I use.

It took a lot of digging and a bit of experimenting. I didn’t know what “levelling audio” meant and why I had to do it.Īll I knew was that I wanted was to get on a Skype call, hit record, have the computer record from my USB mic and my guest’s mic, then export it as a high quality MP3 file. I didn’t know what a mixer was (still don’t). The problem was, I had no experience with audio. I knew I wanted to bank episodes.īut I also knew that I needed as little points of failure as possible and as low a barrier as possible to getting started. I had a network of folks I could interview. I had enough experience creating content.
