About this listen

 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.
