STOP, organize your list and SEGMENT 🎵


Hey Reader!

This solo podcast is all about segmentation.

Segmenting your email list may sound really "techie”... and, well, it is. 😂 It may not be easy to understand, but I make it my goal to break down complex “techie” things into something that makes sense.

At the start of 2026, I led a workshop on segmentation at Tastemaker (a lovely in-person conference, with even lovelier people!) – and it was everything I hoped for:

  • Teaching about email marketing
  • Walking around and answering questions
  • Watching attendees actually apply what I was teaching AT that very moment
  • And making something about email marketing feel a hair more manageable

Once you understand how it works, segmentation allows you to organize your subscribers based on HOW often they want to hear from you and/or WHAT they want to hear from you.

By segmenting your email list, you're creating a happier environment for your subscribers to thrive in — giving them the content they want and excluding the content that they don't want.

Not only does this make you look like a really compassionate creator, it will also benefit you with higher engagement (open and click rates), because people getting your emails are the people who want to get those emails. A win-win!

Tune into this week’s episode to learn:

  • How to think about segmentation like you think of your own friendships (this makes it way easier to understand!)
  • A few strategies on how you can segment your list
  • A real-life example of how Pinch of Yum has segmented their list specifically for beginner home cooks

Hey Mediavine publishers:

I got news from the team at Mediavine that if you serve a primarily US-based audience, you no longer have to use "Grow Email Connect Links" or Grow-URL-specific links in your emails to get the most revenue/RPM from clicks from email to your site (yay, easy peasy!).

Simply toggle the option to track Grow links in Flodesk (within each email you build) or Kit (in your overall Settings > Advanced) and you're SET.

Hey Reader! I got this email from my mom last week that just said, “Fight the AI.” And I was like, Mom, you have no idea. I've been fighting with it in my brain for weeks now! 😅 You could say I've had my dance battle with AI. At the end of January I was very anti-AI — you know, because it can affect my entire business model and that feels terrible. So in order to know more, I've spent more time over the last month or so using it. And, unfortunately, it's been really incredible. 😅 While,...

Hey Reader! If you’re remotely close to the food blogging community, you’ve heard of this strategy for lead generation — and not only am I sharing it with you as a surefire way to boost subscribers, I’m going to show you HOW. What is it? It’s a “Save this Recipe” form that you add to every blog post. It looks like this: Example from Eating Bird Food You can even use this strategy for non-food blogs, of course, like a “Save this Post” form instead. If you’re interested, it’s worth trying out...

Hey Reader! Amy Reid of Baking with Granny was on the Happy Subscribers podcast in January! I got to meet Amy in-person at the Tastemaker Conference in January! Not only is Amy a GEM of a person, she’s cracked the reader-relationship code with her subscribers and was able to get more than 300+ pre-order sales of her cookbook within 24 hours of emailing her list. It worked all because she’s been nurturing her list long before she asked for the sale (what she calls “the plea” 😂). You don’t want...
