Are you sick of reading blogs? I’ve got 2 podcasts for you!
Amongst all the pressure of social media, Spotify numbers, and live performance stands one of the most overlooked and powerful ways to make money as a musician now and I have been interviewed on 2 great podcasts that you can dive into now.
Of course I’m talking about email on both podcasts.
An email list serves as a direct line of communication with fans, fostering deeper connections and meaningful engagement. It turns fans to superfans and offers you a way to share exclusive content, announce new releases, promote merch, and even successfully crowdfund projects.
Now when was the last time your social media did that?
And yet, the email list is still so misunderstood
So, I’m sharing two of my favorite podcasts where I dive deep on the step by step of how to build an email list so you can get started ASAP and start seeing the benefits.
