EP.32 - How to Nurture Your Email List Without Weekly Newsletters

This episode challenges the "email weekly or fail" mentality that's become gospel in the business world.

Discover how to maintain meaningful connections with your email subscribers without burning out on rigid sending schedules.
Learn why your audience doesn't actually want daily emails clogging their inbox, and how to create a sustainable email strategy that works with your existing content creation workflow—not against it.

 

What You'll Learn

• Why the pressure to email weekly might actually be hurting your audience relationship
• How to build your email strategy around your existing content anchor (like a podcast, video, or blog)
• The real reason people unsubscribe (hint: it's not frequency)
• A simple framework for creating valuable emails in under 10 minutes
• How to repurpose your anchor content into effortless email extensions
• Why shorter emails often outperform longer ones

Key Takeaways

Stop measuring success by send frequency. Your email marketing effectiveness isn't determined by how often you hit "send"—it's about whether your subscribers genuinely want to open what you're sharing.

Quality beats consistency every time. Sending valuable content every two weeks trumps sending fluff every week. Your subscribers would rather hear from you when you have something worth saying.

Use your existing content as your foundation. Instead of creating emails from scratch, extend the conversations you're already having through your primary content channel.
