I recently spoke with Rob Cressy, a prolific content creator, AI expert, and podcaster, about leveraging email marketing to promote your podcast and build your audience.
Wrong Way: -
๐ซ Not having any email capture for your podcast audience -
๐ซ Expecting immediate conversions from new subscribers -
๐ซ Sending the same generic emails to your entire list -
๐ซ Thinking that promoting your podcast via email is "icky" or salesy
Right Way: -
โ
Creating lead magnets and incentives for listeners to join your email list -
โ
Nurturing new subscribers with a welcome sequence of valuable content -
โ
Segmenting your email list based on subscriber interests and behaviors -
โ
Naturally promoting relevant podcast episodes in your email newsletters -
โ
Understanding that building trust with your audience takes time and consistency
