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: - 🚫 Not having any email capture for your podcast audience - 🚫 Expecting immediate conversions from new subscribers - 🚫 Sending the same generic emails to your entire list - 🚫 Thinking that promoting your podcast via email is "icky" or salesy Right Way: - ✅ Creating lead magnets and incentives for listeners to join your email list - ✅ Nurturing new subscribers with a welcome sequence of valuable content - ✅ Segmenting your email list based on subscriber interests and behaviors - ✅ Naturally promoting relevant podcast episodes in your email newsletters - ✅ Understanding that building trust with your audience takes time and consistency P.S.
