They outline five proven strategies: asking a compelling question, making a bold statement, teasing a story, using a standout audio clip, and making a clear promise. Each approach is designed to create intrigue, emotional connection, or value right from the start. With experience producing hundreds of shows, 360POD Studios helps creators craft intros that not only sound professional but also convert casual listeners into loyal fans.
