How to Scale & Grow Your Audience #3 - From Live and In-Person to Email and Engagement

Author: Alitu via The Podcast Host June 5, 2025 Duration: 43:52

In this final episode of the SCALE framework series, we dive into the last two powerful growth strategies: Live & In-Person events and Email & Engagement tactics. Drawing from our recent experience at the London Podcast Show, we share how speaking at events, running booths, and recording vox pops can build genuine connections with your audience.

We also explore nine proven email marketing and engagement strategies that turn casual listeners into loyal fans. From the networking magic of getting on stage to the owned-platform power of building an email list, this episode reveals why these "old school" approaches still outperform many digital tactics.

Plus, we announce an exciting opportunity for listeners to get free podcast coaching on upcoming episodes - could that be you?
