🎧 Leveraging Your Email List (Episode 297)
|
Happy Friday! In case you missed the recent announcement, episode 300 will be our last. The Liner Notes newsletter and Unstarving Musician blog will continue. I also have a number of ideas for new ways of sharing the knowledge I garnered from the many interviews conducted for the podcast. More on that soon. Here's episode 297 for your weekend listening pleasure. Leveraging Your Email List #297 🎙 Whether your art is in music or some other realm, leveraging your email list is paramount. Email marketing is a topic near and dear to my heart. Once you have an established email list, the easiest way to leverage it is by sending regular emails to subscribers. They are your supporters, after all. Begin by considering how often you will send emails. In my experience, this can be a challenging commitment to meet, but you can change the frequency if you initially over commit. Consistency is key. Subscribers will lose interest in you and possibly even forget about you if your emails are irregular or infrequent. This episode covers getting started, planning ahead with an editorial content calendar, email topic examples, the anatomy of newsletter emails, why email works so well for creating deep connection with supporters, the peril of relying on social media alone, how your email list can help you make money, ConvertKit as an email platform for audience building, and more.
