  • The Value of Email Lists

    The Value of Email Lists
    Mar 11 2025
    Forget the internet "gurus" who claim email is dead—it's very much alive and remains one of the most powerful marketing tools for creators, including podcasters like you.

    A strong email list does more than just deliver updates—it keeps your audience engaged, nurtures loyal listeners, and makes it easy for fans to share your show with others. Think of it as your direct line to your biggest supporters, free from the ever-changing algorithms of social media.

    In this episode of Pod Tips Weekly, host Ryan Tillotson, CEO of Straw Hut Media, breaks down why email newsletters consistently outperform social media when it comes to actual podcast downloads.Why Emails Matter
    • Email newsletters drive higher conversions—typically 3-5%, compared to social media’s 0.03-1%.
    • Social media alone isn’t enough—even accounts with millions of followers see low direct conversions.
    • Start your email list today—it’s an easy, direct way to engage your audience and boost your downloads.

  • The Power Of A Great Introduction

    The Power Of A Great Introduction
    Feb 25 2025
    Your podcast’s introduction sets the stage for your entire show. It’s your chance to hook first-time listeners and set expectations. While every podcast has its own style, every hit podcast has a strong intro. A weak intro can cause potential listeners to tune out before your episode even begins. So how do you craft one that works?

    • The two types of podcast intros you need – A short, consistent show introduction and an engaging episode-specific hook.
    • Why shorter is better – Avoid long intros that make listeners skip ahead.
    • The power of a strong start – Hook your audience immediately to boost retention.
    • Cold opens and when to use them – Only if they truly add intrigue and value.
    Don’t let a weak intro lose your audience—tune in for expert advice on crafting the perfect start to your podcast!
