But a single giveaway usually spikes your list for a day and then it's over. The new subscribers got their free thing and now they're just sitting there. What if you could stretch that into a 12-day series where every day brought a new partner, new prizes, and a new reason for people to open your email? That's what Fab Giovanetti did with Alt Marketing School. She built a partner-powered giveaway series modeled after a 12 Days of Christmas advent calendar, where each day featured a different tool, platform, or community offering something free. 1 partner per day for 12 days. The result: 550+ new subscribers in 12 days, and her click-through rate doubled for the 6 months that followed. ​ -------------- How Fab Did It -------------- Fab ran hers during the holidays, but the format works anytime. A "12 days of free tools" series in Q1, a back-to-school version in September, a new year kickoff in January. The exciting part is the daily reveal, not necessarily the season. 1. She picked a familiar seasonal hook. Fab is a big believer that storytelling is the thing that drives reader buy-in. The more you can take a familiar theme and spice it up, the more attention it’s likely to get. She took the traditional 12 Days of Christmas and remixed it with this giveaway to drive excitement. ​ 2. Fab found ideal partners for the giveaways. For each of the 12 days, a different brand offered something free. She got partners to promote it to their audiences as well - so it was 12 different brands/creators pointing at the same thing over 2.5 weeks. ​ 3. She mixed up the formats to keep people curious. Some days were on-demand trainings; others were live events; some were straight up giveaways. You never knew what was behind the next door (which is the whole point). 4. She promoted it weeks in advance. She had around 3-4 weeks of promotion before day 1, with a couple partners teasing it early as well. 5. She skipped weekends to stretch the runway. 12 weekday giveaways spread across about 2.5 weeks allowed more time to build momentum and for latecomers to jump in. ​ ------------ Why It Works ------------ There are a few reasons this works. But here are the main ones: A familiar story & format is easy to opt into. People understand the advent calendar concept. The multi-day series creates a curiosity loop each day. "What's behind today's door?" is the kind of question that brings people back every day. ​ The partner cross-promotions layer on top of each other. Each partner introduces Fab's list to a new audience, and each new subscriber gets exposed to 11 more partners over the next 2 weeks. That's a lot of warm reach for a low investment. Existing readers also get a reason to stay engaged. After the test, Fab kept hearing from people who were sad they'd missed a specific day. This excitement and engagement around her content is what helped double her click-throughs for the 6 months that followed. Readers were trained to expect something worth clicking on. ------- Results ------- * 550+ new subscribers, run as a simple advent calendar page on her site * CTR doubled for 6 months after the campaign ended ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ Step 1: Pick a theme or hook that ties the series together. Fab used the holidays, but "12 days of free tools for [your audience]" works any time of year. Step 2: Line up your partners. Each day = 1 partner + 1 free thing (a course, a template, a tool credit, a live workshop). Reach out 6-8 weeks early so everyone has time to prep. BONUS: Get partners to agree to share the giveaway with their audiences and email lists. Step 3: Pick one home for the whole campaign. A landing page works for v1. To upgrade, host it on a summit platform like HeySummit ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/k0unxvmlz0t6h5vpq20hlhop9k8z8c0rd7v0xw53m5vnpdpd677pkwe4z666x266e0x53r9v0kxmvp5l0mxwkwgzplnqrmxvg004r5nonr70w4q08o36gnw63opbd288e/25h2h9u3wdo62mc8/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2hleXN1bW1pdC8= ) so videos, live events, and giveaways all live in one place. Step 4: Promote it 3-4 weeks ahead of launch. Build a waitlist and tease 1 or 2 partners early so people know what is coming. Have partners to do the same. ----- Tools ----- * A landing page builder (Carrd ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/k0unxvmlz0t6h5vpq20hlhop9k8z8c0rd7v0xw53m5vnpdpd677pkwe4z666x266e0x53r9v0kxmvp5l0mxwkwgzplnqrmxvg004r5nonr70w4q08o36gnw63opbd288e/qvh8h8udpn6zrlhg/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2NhcnJkLw== )or Kit ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/k0unxvmlz0t6h5vpq20hlhop9k8z8c0rd7v0xw53m5vnpdpd677pkwe4z666x266e0x53r9v0kxmvp5l0mxwkwgzplnqrmxvg004r5nonr70w4q08o36gnw63opbd288e/g3hnhwumwpzr32h3/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2NvbnZlcnRraXQv )) * ​HeySummit ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/k0unxvmlz0t6h5vpq20hlhop9k8z8c0rd7v0xw53m5vnpdpd677pkwe4z666x266e0x53r9v0kxmvp5l0mxwkwgzplnqrmxvg004r5nonr70w4q08o36gnw63opbd288e/25h2h9u3wdo62mc8/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2hleXN1bW1pdC8= ) (or a Notion page) as a giveaway & online events hub * Your ESP with tagging to track partner-driven sign-ups and which days/prizes drove the most subs * A shared doc (like Google Docs) for partners with deliverables, due dates, and promo copy A single giveaway grows your list for a day.

Except, it’s a little clunky on the backend. That standard Instagram growth playbook involves many steps: * Post something valuable * Tell people to comment a keyword * Auto-DM them a link * Hope they click over to the landing page * Hope they fill out the form All of that “hope-ium” is where this strategy falls apart. A typical landing page converts somewhere around 45-50% (on a good day). Which means for every 100 people who comment on your post and get that DM, roughly half of them never make it onto your list. And that’s if every single person clicks over (which isn’t realistic). Gannon Meyer noticed that drop-off and asked a pretty obvious question: What if you just... skipped the landing page entirely? ​ ------------------ How Gannon Does It ------------------ 1. He collects the email inside the DM conversation. Instead of sending a link to an external page, Gannon's Manychat flow asks for the person's email address directly in the DM thread. The subscriber types their email, hits send, and they're in. Bada-bing, bada-boom. 2. He connects Manychat to Kit natively. Kit has a direct integration with Manychat, so the email address gets passed straight into a sequence without any Zapier workarounds or manual exports. The lead magnet delivery and tagging all happen automatically from there. 3. He tags subscribers. Because each flow is tied to a specific post or campaign, he can tag every subscriber with exactly where they came from. That makes segmentation easy later - he knows which subscribers came from which offer. Gannon has rolled out the same setup across client accounts on Instagram, and the conversion numbers hold. Across his own account and client work, he's consistently seeing 65-70% of commenters become email subscribers. ------------ Why It Works ------------ Landing pages add friction. There's a link to click, a new tab to open, a form to fill out. Every extra step is a chance for someone to get distracted and drop off. Not to mention, social platforms hate when you link people out to other places. With this flow, you’re keeping them inside of the app. Typing an email address takes about 5 seconds. The context is fresh - they just commented because they wanted the thing - so the motivation is still there. The Kit-Manychat integration matters too. When the handoff from comment to email list is natively integrated, there's no delay and no chance Zapier fails on you (the worst). ------- Results ------- * 65-70% conversion rate from comment to email subscriber * That’s an extra 15-20 subscribers per 100 comments compared to the old landing page approach ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ Step 1: Set up a Manychat flow triggered by a keyword comment on an Instagram post. Pick a simple, relevant keyword that matches what you're offering. Step 2: Inside the flow, add a step that asks for the person's email address directly in the DM. Step 3: Connect Manychat to Kit using the native integration. Step 4: Set up an email sequence to deliver the lead magnet and tag the subscriber with the source. Step 5: Use tags to track which posts and offers are driving the most subscribers. Over time, that data tells you exactly what to post more of, and which topics lead to sales from your products, etc. ----- Tools ----- * Manychat - comment automation and DM flows on Instagram * Kit - email delivery, sequences, and tagging (native Manychat integration) Sending someone to a landing page feels like the obvious move. It's what everyone does. But that’s so 2023. ;) The fewer steps between "I want this" and "I'm on your list," the better. See you tomorrow, Chenell P.S. P.S.

After all, everyone says to give as much value as possible before ever asking for a sale, right? Well, Matt Ragland flipped that idea on its head. The fix he teaches is embarrassingly simple. He’s tested this exact strategy and has seen it 3x sales for his clients (he’s worked with some big names like Ryan Holiday, Dan Go, Michael Hyatt, and Amanda Goetz). What’s the change? ​ Well, new subscribers are at their most engaged in the first 7 days. While most newsletter creators are spending that valuable window saying “nice to meet you”, Matt is generating sales for his clients from the welcome sequence. ---------------- How Matt Does It ---------------- 1. He picks a product that already “works.” Instead of guessing what readers want or need, Matt picks a proven product that has sold well in the past or present. The pitch is easier when the proof is already there. 2. He keeps the price point low on purpose. $9–$29 is an impulse purchase. The revenue is nice, but the main goal is turning the subscriber into a customer. Everything gets easier once they’ve paid you once. 3. He pitches early. The low-cost offer lands in the first few welcome emails, not email 12. New subscribers are most engaged in the first week of signing up. 4. Matt separates buyers from prospects. If someone buys, they’re nurtured and shown the next offer “up.” If they clicked but didn’t buy, they get gently re-pitched with fresh angles every 2–3 weeks for a few months. 5. He stacks offers until it lands. The first $29 purchase is just the first rung of the product ladder. Matt keeps offering value and next-step products until a subscriber reaches a solution that best solves their problem. 6. He layers on an onboarding survey for segmentation. A short survey (and even a “which of these is you?” link in the first email) tells Matt what the subscriber is actually there for, so the pitches that follow feel tailored instead of sprayed.

Instead of “free newsletter writer you might unsubscribe from,” you show up as “business that sells things that help.” That framing carries through every email after it. The $9–$29 threshold also does real selection work. A paying customer, even at $19, is a fundamentally different asset than a free subscriber. They bought once making them more likely to do it again. And the long-tail math is the part that gets missed. A $29 purchase that turns into a $2,000 consulting retainer nine months later is the whole point. The welcome sequence is the top of a funnel that ends in high-ticket work. ------- Results ------- * The Welcome Sequence Pitch tripled sales compared to the classic “educate first, sell later” flow (tested across multiple businesses and client lists) * Customers who bought a low-ticket offer showed a measurable lift in interest for high-ticket offers downstream * Turned the welcome sequence from a nurture asset into a revenue engine that runs on autopilot for each new subscriber * Shortened the path from “just subscribed” to “$2,000–3,000 retainer client” by giving the subscriber an early, low-risk way to say yes ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ Step 1: Pick a low-ticket product you already know performs based on sales data and reviews.

Step 4: Build 2 engagement-based automations. One for buyers and one for clickers who didn’t buy, and nurture accordingly. Step 5: Add a short onboarding quiz or a “which of these is you?” link in the welcome email so you can segment pitches by what subscribers actually want. Step 6: Track two numbers: welcome-sequence purchase rate, and the rate at which those buyers convert to a higher-ticket offer within 6–9 months.

After all, everyone says to give as much value as possible before ever asking for a sale, right? Well, Matt Ragland flipped that idea on its head. The fix he teaches is embarrassingly simple. He’s tested this exact strategy and has seen it 3x sales for his clients (he’s worked with some big names like Ryan Holiday, Dan Go, Michael Hyatt, and Amanda Goetz). What’s the change? ​ Well, new subscribers are at their most engaged in the first 7 days. While most newsletter creators are spending that valuable window saying “nice to meet you”, Matt is generating sales for his clients from the welcome sequence. ---------------- How Matt Does It ---------------- 1. He picks a product that already “works.” Instead of guessing what readers want or need, Matt picks a proven product that has sold well in the past or present. The pitch is easier when the proof is already there. 2. He keeps the price point low on purpose. $9–$29 is an impulse purchase. The revenue is nice, but the main goal is turning the subscriber into a customer. Everything gets easier once they’ve paid you once. 3. He pitches early. The low-cost offer lands in the first few welcome emails, not email 12. New subscribers are most engaged in the first week of signing up. 4. Matt separates buyers from prospects. If someone buys, they’re nurtured and shown the next offer “up.” If they clicked but didn’t buy, they get gently re-pitched with fresh angles every 2–3 weeks for a few months. 5. He stacks offers until it lands. The first $29 purchase is just the first rung of the product ladder. Matt keeps offering value and next-step products until a subscriber reaches a solution that best solves their problem. 6. He layers on an onboarding survey for segmentation. A short survey (and even a “which of these is you?” link in the first email) tells Matt what the subscriber is actually there for, so the pitches that follow feel tailored instead of sprayed. Note: This reminds me of the highly-personalized welcome sequences ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/wvuwkn709kbghk604grt7hnd6eek0smqne3x7do48393zmnkgvrmz966o73o5gppwe3qxxdz53q7993k4z22qmwr7en3oz50m229mq04v5xmqg4xrlrqk7mmp7li6zood/wnh2h6uq6wzqp2cl/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2thdGVseW4td2VsY29tZS1zZXF1ZW5jZS8= ) Katelyn Bourgoin uses. ------------ Why It Works ------------ A low-cost early pitch reframes the whole relationship. Instead of “free newsletter writer you might unsubscribe from,” you show up as “business that sells things that help.” That framing carries through every email after it. The $9–$29 threshold also does real selection work. A paying customer, even at $19, is a fundamentally different asset than a free subscriber. They bought once making them more likely to do it again.

Trading a free guide for an email can work, but it's getting a little overdone, and people are becoming numb to these repeated CTAs. It feels harder to drive growth with those. So how can you stand out? Esteban Perez and Ammaar Khan run The ADHD Weasel ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/8kuwpeo3dpboh2nm904ikhkorl9kkio6ex5ld20n35v5goek4mzogvpp0d5074wwqx56ll2g756dvv5kng996oqzdxe50g78o99vo68nm7lo64nlzrz6kdoowdrbzv992/58hvh8ug2mg9m6b7/aHR0cDovL2FkaGR3ZWFzZWwuY29t ), a newsletter for late-diagnosed ADHD adults. And they were feeling this, too. They had a whopping 250k+ Threads followers, and were promoting 4 lead magnets to them. But even with that huge audience, they were only getting ~17 signups a day. Not bad. But not the growth they were looking for. Then they heard my talk in Austin this past February where I shared how a few people were seeing great results with a quiz, and they decided to swap out their lead magnets and try that instead. And it worked. Really, really well. ​ After launching their quiz, they drove 1,439 new subscribers in a single week. For context, that's how many they used to get in a quarter. Since that "peak" week, they're still bringing in around 875 subscribers per week. ---------------------- How ADHD Weasel Did It ---------------------- 1. They built a quiz around 6 specific ADHD types. Each "type" describes a different way ADHD shows up in adult life, and readers recognize themselves almost immediately. 2. They gated the results. The quiz only takes a few minutes, but once a reader completes it, they're prompted with a form to enter their email address to get the results. ​ 3. They push the quiz data directly into Beehiiv. When someone finishes the quiz, their subscriber record gets tagged with their results and quiz answers to help with segmentation. 4. They send most of their social traffic to the quiz.They promote the quiz via Threads where they have over 250k followers. The quiz converts better than any other Threads CTAs they've tried. They are also experimenting with Meta ads pointing to the quiz as well. ------------ Why It Works ------------ There are a few reasons this quiz strategy works so well: It's not yet overdone. So many creators are giving away freebies in the form of a PDF or checklist, whereas a quiz will stand out because it gives more personalized results. Readers want their results. They invested time to answer the quiz questions, so they are bought in to see the results at the end and will be more likely to enter their email. Segmentation lets them personalize future emails. Esteban and Ammaar already know every quiz-taker’s type and their answers, so they know exactly which back issues would land for which reader. ------- Results ------- * Daily subscribers went from ~17/day to ~125/day which is ~7x their previous baseline * 1,439 new subs in one week, which is what they used to get per quarter * They lowered their CPL with Meta ads to $0.51, compared to a $3-$8 benchmark * The Weasel Quiz drives ~88% of all new subscribers, replacing their old acquisition strategy entirely ​ ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ Step 1: Build a short quiz (5-7 questions) that leads subscribers to self-select into one of your audience segments. Step 2: Gate the results. Make sure the reader has to enter their email address to see the results on the "next page" or in their inbox. Step 3: Push quiz answers and results into your ESP with the email address so you can tag or segment them later on. Step 4: Point your main organic channel(s) at the quiz instead of your homepage or newsletter sign-up page. Step 5: Build a segmented welcome sequence. You now have segments and data helping you craft a more personalized and relevant email sequence. You can take a look at what Katelyn did here ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/8kuwpeo3dpboh2nm904ikhkorl9kkio6ex5ld20n35v5goek4mzogvpp0d5074wwqx56ll2g756dvv5kng996oqzdxe50g78o99vo68nm7lo64nlzrz6kdoowdrbzv992/25h2h9u3w23o2qs8/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2thdGVseW4td2VsY29tZS1zZXF1ZW5jZS8= ). ----- Tools ----- * A quiz tool like Interact ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/8kuwpeo3dpboh2nm904ikhkorl9kkio6ex5ld20n35v5goek4mzogvpp0d5074wwqx56ll2g756dvv5kng996oqzdxe50g78o99vo68nm7lo64nlzrz6kdoowdrbzv992/qvh8h8udprd6r3sg/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL3RyeWludGVyYWN0Lw== ) (Ammaar & Esteban built theirs with Claude Code & Vercel) * Your ESP to save the data to subscriber records Quizzes are great for readers and for newsletter creators.

Trading a free guide for an email can work, but it's getting a little overdone, and people are becoming numb to these repeated CTAs. It feels harder to drive growth with those. So how can you stand out? Esteban Perez and Ammaar Khan run The ADHD Weasel ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/75u6l27x5ns8h65rzkgczhw4lz6wqfro3q2rdemp4m209393wqq9zev7lwwwd6wwvrdmpok2rzd429mxr4dezegl9x08o4d2grr7om050oqre78rn5pwg0ewp59inv774/58hvh8ug2mg9m6b7/aHR0cDovL2FkaGR3ZWFzZWwuY29t ), a newsletter for late-diagnosed ADHD adults. And they were feeling this, too. They had a whopping 250k+ Threads followers, and were promoting 4 lead magnets to them. But even with that huge audience, they were only getting ~17 signups a day. Not bad. But not the growth they were looking for. Then they heard my talk in Austin this past February where I shared how a few people were seeing great results with a quiz, and they decided to swap out their lead magnets and try that instead. And it worked. Really, really well. ​ After launching their quiz, they drove 1,439 new subscribers in a single week. For context, that's how many they used to get in a quarter. Since that "peak" week, they're still bringing in around 875 subscribers per week. ---------------------- How ADHD Weasel Did It ---------------------- 1. They built a quiz around 6 specific ADHD types. Each "type" describes a different way ADHD shows up in adult life, and readers recognize themselves almost immediately. 2. They gated the results. The quiz only takes a few minutes, but once a reader completes it, they're prompted with a form to enter their email address to get the results. ​ 3. They push the quiz data directly into Beehiiv. When someone finishes the quiz, their subscriber record gets tagged with their results and quiz answers to help with segmentation. 4. They send most of their social traffic to the quiz.They promote the quiz via Threads where they have over 250k followers. The quiz converts better than any other Threads CTAs they've tried. They are also experimenting with Meta ads pointing to the quiz as well. ------------ Why It Works ------------ There are a few reasons this quiz strategy works so well: It's not yet overdone. So many creators are giving away freebies in the form of a PDF or checklist, whereas a quiz will stand out because it gives more personalized results. Readers want their results. They invested time to answer the quiz questions, so they are bought in to see the results at the end and will be more likely to enter their email. Segmentation lets them personalize future emails. Esteban and Ammaar already know every quiz-taker’s type and their answers, so they know exactly which back issues would land for which reader. ------- Results ------- * Daily subscribers went from ~17/day to ~125/day which is ~7x their previous baseline * 1,439 new subs in one week, which is what they used to get per quarter * They lowered their CPL with Meta ads to $0.51, compared to a $3-$8 benchmark * The Weasel Quiz drives ~88% of all new subscribers, replacing their old acquisition strategy entirely ​ ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ Step 1: Build a short quiz (5-7 questions) that leads subscribers to self-select into one of your audience segments. Step 2: Gate the results. Make sure the reader has to enter their email address to see the results on the "next page" or in their inbox. Step 3: Push quiz answers and results into your ESP with the email address so you can tag or segment them later on. Step 4: Point your main organic channel(s) at the quiz instead of your homepage or newsletter sign-up page. Step 5: Build a segmented welcome sequence. You now have segments and data helping you craft a more personalized and relevant email sequence.

A lot of them bring in the wrong people. The immediate results look great because of the rapid list growth. But after sending a few emails, things change. Open rates drop, a bunch of people unsubscribe, and the math stops working. The good news is it there is a better way. Aleyda Solis runs SEOFOMO ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvu6dm7lvws5hqz6e20cmhrxngwpluqez8pq970rn0pl4z4zo88427gvwooo9doogq90rexpq29np406qn97275w46lken9p5qqve0lmle8q7vkq3mro5l7orm4c2mrrx/25h2h9u3w7l9nxt8/aHR0cDovL3Nlb2ZvbW8uY28= ), a weekly newsletter about SEO with 40,000 subscribers. And she's figured out how to run giveaways that attract the right subscribers. ​ When Aleyda's email list was sitting at 28.5k, she wanted to push past 30k faster than normal growth would get her there. So she ran a giveaway. Entry required you to be a SEOFOMO subscriber first, then referring other SEOs to the list to earn entries. She announced it on October 1st. By November 19th, she’d crossed 30k and announced the winner. ----------------- How Aleyda Did It ----------------- 1. She tied the giveaway to a specific subscriber milestone. The whole campaign was framed around getting SEOFOMO to 30k. That turned it into something her audience actually rooted for. Many of them had been reading for years and want to see the list hit the number. source 2. She picked prizes her audience wants. She included SEO tools and resources, the exact things her readers are already paying for (and complaining about on Twitter). When SEOs are the audience, SEO software is the obvious prize to give away. 3. She required an action to enter. Subscribers had to opt in, then refer other folks to the list to earn more entries. 4. She used the newsletter itself as the distribution. The announcement went out in the October 1st edition, and she kept mentioning it for about 7 weeks until the goal was hit on November 19th. ------------ Why It Works ------------ Existing subscribers are a great way to bring in subscribers who look like your current ones. A person who got forwarded SEOFOMO by their manager or fellow SEO is already a match for the content. The milestone framing turned the giveaway into a team goal. Aleyda framed as “help us get there,” and that kind of framing travels way better in DMs and Slack channels than “help me win a prize.” The prize was a filter. An Amazon gift card or MacBook would have pulled in anyone. But you don't want "anyone" to subscribe. Instead, a prize pool full of SEO tools pulled in the exact right audience. ​ ------- Results ------- * The newsletter grew from 28.5k to 30k+ subscribers in ~7 weeks - which works out to 215 new subscribers per week from one giveaway * New subscribers came mostly through referrals from existing readers making them more likely to be long-term subscribers. * In 2020, Aleyda ran a similar SEOFOMO 5k Challenge and used much of the same playbook with to help her hit the 5k milestone * Both giveaways turned the newsletter itself into a growth channel, which a lot of creators leave on the table ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ Step 1: Pick a subscriber milestone just above where you are now (ex: 2,500 or 20,000 subscribers). Making it about 5-10% past your current number is a solid starting point. It should feel ambitious but reachable. Step 2: Source and organize prizes your niche actually wants. Tools, courses, books, or credits from brands your readers already follow. If you have to explain why the prize is valuable, it’s probably the wrong prize. Step 3: Build a simple opt-in page where existing subscribers can join the giveaway and get a referral link. Step 4: Announce it in your newsletter and keep the update in every issue until the milestone hits or until the giveaway ends. A sidebar callout or P.S. line is enough. Step 5: Reach out to the brands providing prizes and ask if they’ll share the giveaway to their audiences too. Many will, as it's great free exposure for them since the audience is aligned. ​ ----- Tools ----- * Your ESP for opting into the giveaway * ​Beehiiv’s ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvu6dm7lvws5hqz6e20cmhrxngwpluqez8pq970rn0pl4z4zo88427gvwooo9doogq90rexpq29np406qn97275w46lken9p5qqve0lmle8q7vkq3mro5l7orm4c2mrrx/qvh8h8udp8ewqxsg/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2JlZWhpaXYv ) referral tool or SparkLoop ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvu6dm7lvws5hqz6e20cmhrxngwpluqez8pq970rn0pl4z4zo88427gvwooo9doogq90rexpq29np406qn97275w46lken9p5qqve0lmle8q7vkq3mro5l7orm4c2mrrx/g3hnhwumweg9g7t3/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL3NwYXJrbG9vcC8= ) to track who referred who * Your email list and P.S. line (the biggest lever) * A landing page for the giveaway announcement Round-number milestones are an excuse to run a campaign your readers actually want to be part of.

A lot of them bring in the wrong people. The immediate results look great because of the rapid list growth. But after sending a few emails, things change. Open rates drop, a bunch of people unsubscribe, and the math stops working. The good news is it there is a better way. Aleyda Solis runs SEOFOMO ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu9epnlmecehp8dgwqhxh6945epva42rlzoe09q5zxz64rk8wp46xdd9ez9m833glz2oo06mz2exxzkq6nn24gpelrz96mv4nnx42vqwmo428qop7p2ke443e7bwe00p/25h2h9u3w7l9nxt8/aHR0cDovL3Nlb2ZvbW8uY28= ), a weekly newsletter about SEO with 40,000 subscribers. And she's figured out how to run giveaways that attract the right subscribers. ​ When Aleyda's email list was sitting at 28.5k, she wanted to push past 30k faster than normal growth would get her there. So she ran a giveaway. Entry required you to be a SEOFOMO subscriber first, then referring other SEOs to the list to earn entries. She announced it on October 1st. By November 19th, she’d crossed 30k and announced the winner. ----------------- How Aleyda Did It ----------------- 1. She tied the giveaway to a specific subscriber milestone. The whole campaign was framed around getting SEOFOMO to 30k. That turned it into something her audience actually rooted for. Many of them had been reading for years and want to see the list hit the number. source 2. She picked prizes her audience wants. She included SEO tools and resources, the exact things her readers are already paying for (and complaining about on Twitter). When SEOs are the audience, SEO software is the obvious prize to give away. 3. She required an action to enter. Subscribers had to opt in, then refer other folks to the list to earn more entries. 4. She used the newsletter itself as the distribution. The announcement went out in the October 1st edition, and she kept mentioning it for about 7 weeks until the goal was hit on November 19th. ------------ Why It Works ------------ Existing subscribers are a great way to bring in subscribers who look like your current ones. A person who got forwarded SEOFOMO by their manager or fellow SEO is already a match for the content. The milestone framing turned the giveaway into a team goal. Aleyda framed as “help us get there,” and that kind of framing travels way better in DMs and Slack channels than “help me win a prize.” The prize was a filter. An Amazon gift card or MacBook would have pulled in anyone. But you don't want "anyone" to subscribe. Instead, a prize pool full of SEO tools pulled in the exact right audience. ​ ------- Results ------- * The newsletter grew from 28.5k to 30k+ subscribers in ~7 weeks - which works out to 215 new subscribers per week from one giveaway * New subscribers came mostly through referrals from existing readers making them more likely to be long-term subscribers. * In 2020, Aleyda ran a similar SEOFOMO 5k Challenge and used much of the same playbook with to help her hit the 5k milestone * Both giveaways turned the newsletter itself into a growth channel, which a lot of creators leave on the table ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ Step 1: Pick a subscriber milestone just above where you are now (ex: 2,500 or 20,000 subscribers). Making it about 5-10% past your current number is a solid starting point. It should feel ambitious but reachable. Step 2: Source and organize prizes your niche actually wants. Tools, courses, books, or credits from brands your readers already follow. If you have to explain why the prize is valuable, it’s probably the wrong prize. Step 3: Build a simple opt-in page where existing subscribers can join the giveaway and get a referral link. Step 4: Announce it in your newsletter and keep the update in every issue until the milestone hits or until the giveaway ends. A sidebar callout or P.S. line is enough. Step 5: Reach out to the brands providing prizes and ask if they’ll share the giveaway to their audiences too. Many will, as it's great free exposure for them since the audience is aligned. ​ ----- Tools ----- * Your ESP for opting into the giveaway * ​Beehiiv’s ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu9epnlmecehp8dgwqhxh6945epva42rlzoe09q5zxz64rk8wp46xdd9ez9m833glz2oo06mz2exxzkq6nn24gpelrz96mv4nnx42vqwmo428qop7p2ke443e7bwe00p/qvh8h8udp8ewqxsg/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2JlZWhpaXYv ) referral tool or SparkLoop ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu9epnlmecehp8dgwqhxh6945epva42rlzoe09q5zxz64rk8wp46xdd9ez9m833glz2oo06mz2exxzkq6nn24gpelrz96mv4nnx42vqwmo428qop7p2ke443e7bwe00p/g3hnhwumweg9g7t3/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL3NwYXJrbG9vcC8= ) to track who referred who * Your email list and P.S. line (the biggest lever) * A landing page for the giveaway announcement Round-number milestones are an excuse to run a campaign your readers actually want to be part of.

So what's the alternative? ​ ​Dustin Riechmann ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/75u6l27x5ns8h657drnczhw4z8mv7hro3q2rdemp4m209393wqq9zev7lwwwd6wwvrdmpok2rzd429mxr4dezegl9x08o4d2grr7om050oqre78rn5pwg0ewp59inv774/kkhmh2unv90wovik/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGlua2VkaW4uY29tL2luL2R1c3RpbnJpZWNobWFubi8= ) has a small email list ( He grew it through a very specific approach to podcast guesting. One that brings in subscribers who are already warm before they ever hit your opt-in page. Almost every subscriber came from a long-form podcast interview. By the time someone hits his welcome email, they've already spent 45-60 minutes listening to him talk about the thing he's an expert in. They're basically a warm lead right away. ------------------ How Dustin Does It ------------------ Well, Dustin made podcasting his entire growth strategy. And that focus by itself is useful, but here is how he finds the right podcasts to get on. 1. He targets "shoulder topic" podcasts instead of direct competitors. Rather than guesting on shows that cover his exact niche, Dustin looks for podcasts serving an adjacent audience. People who'd benefit from his expertise but aren't already drowning in information about it. For example, if you're a relationship coach, you don't pitch other relationship podcasts where the host already covers your exact lane. You pitch a podcast for first-time parents (who are stressed and need communication help), or a personal finance show (where couples fight about money). 2. He looks for a content gap to fill for that host. The host gets an episode they couldn't have recorded themselves, which makes Dustin easier to book. His new subscribers show up already seeing him as the specialized expert on that topic. 3. He screens podcasts against 3 basic criteria before pitching: * The show has to do guest interviews * It has to have published something in the last 30 days * It has to clear a size bar (usually 100+ ratings on Apple Podcasts) 4. He uses the interview itself to warm the subscriber. A long-form podcast conversation builds real trust over 30 to 60 minutes. By the time a listener hits Dustin's landing page, they're far more likely to know, like, and trust him. ------------ Why It Works ------------ Podcast listeners are a different kind of audience. They've chosen to spend an hour with a guest. That's a level of attention you really can't buy with an ad. The "shoulder topic" angle matters because it positions you as a specialist in a room full of generalists. On a direct-competitor show, you're 1 of 50 similar guests the audience has heard. On a shoulder show, you're the only person in that lane, which makes you memorable and makes the host want to have you back. The result is a subscriber who self-selected. They heard your story, liked it, and went out of their way to sign up. That is an incredibly warm subscriber. And it's a very different quality of subscriber from someone who clicked 'Subscribe' on a recommendation widget. ------- Results ------- * 4,000 email subscribers on the list * Average of $285 revenue per subscriber per year which is roughly 5x to 10x what most creators see * 7 figures in annual revenue from that small-but-engaged audience * Subscribers arrive pre-warmed, which has downstream effects on open rates, click rates, and conversions ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ Step 1: Pick 2-3 shoulder topics adjacent to what you teach. Write down the audience you'd serve on each one. Step 2: Build a list of 20-30 podcasts in those shoulder topics. Use the 3 filters: guest interviews, updated in the last 30 days, 100+ Apple Podcasts ratings. Step 3: Write a short pitch that names the content gap you fill. Tell the host what their audience would get from having you on that they can't get from the host alone. Step 4: Set up a dedicated landing page for each podcast, or at least for your top few. A URL like yoursite.com/[podcast-name] works great. Step 5: Drop your CTA into the interview where it comes naturally. Tie it to something you discussed on the show so it feels like part of the conversation. Step 6: Track subscribers by source so you know which shows actually convert. ​ ----- Tools ----- * A simple spreadsheet or Notion database to track target shows * Listen Notes for research * A landing page builder (Carrd ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/75u6l27x5ns8h657drnczhw4z8mv7hro3q2rdemp4m209393wqq9zev7lwwwd6wwvrdmpok2rzd429mxr4dezegl9x08o4d2grr7om050oqre78rn5pwg0ewp59inv774/9qhzhdudr2vweebz/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2NhcnJkLw== ), Kit, your website) for episode-specific opt-ins Dustin's list is probably a lot smaller than the general perception of a "successful" newsletter's audience. But the quality of those subscribers is so high that the math works out completely differently.

And it's a very different quality of subscriber from someone who clicked 'Subscribe' on a recommendation widget. ------- Results ------- * 4,000 email subscribers on the list * Average of $285 revenue per subscriber per year which is roughly 5x to 10x what most creators see * 7 figures in annual revenue from that small-but-engaged audience * Subscribers arrive pre-warmed, which has downstream effects on open rates, click rates, and conversions ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ Step 1: Pick 2-3 shoulder topics adjacent to what you teach. Write down the audience you'd serve on each one. Step 2: Build a list of 20-30 podcasts in those shoulder topics. Use the 3 filters: guest interviews, updated in the last 30 days, 100+ Apple Podcasts ratings. Step 3: Write a short pitch that names the content gap you fill. Tell the host what their audience would get from having you on that they can't get from the host alone. Step 4: Set up a dedicated landing page for each podcast, or at least for your top few. A URL like yoursite.com/[podcast-name] works great. Step 5: Drop your CTA into the interview where it comes naturally. Tie it to something you discussed on the show so it feels like part of the conversation. Step 6: Track subscribers by source so you know which shows actually convert. ​ ----- Tools ----- * A simple spreadsheet or Notion database to track target shows * Listen Notes for research * A landing page builder (Carrd ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/n4ur30p8v3tvhx0p2z7b6h64px0e6a3ekv7md0q9l75723kp8zr325xxqd7qo8nn6v7emm02o7ed557p92gge36rdvk7q2ow3gg53ew9zom3e89mr4repd33nd4be6nn4/9qhzhdudr2vweebz/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2NhcnJkLw== ), Kit, your website) for episode-specific opt-ins Dustin's list is probably a lot smaller than the general perception of a "successful" newsletter's audience.

You probably got a generic welcome email, maybe a quick pitch, and then you were dropped into the regular newsletter cadence just like everyone else. Katelyn Bourgoin thinks that’s a missed opportunity. And after seeing what she's built, I have to agree. ​ Katelyn runs Why We Buy ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/xmuk8np597t6hp00273a5h2e70g33ag3zxrg40m56mr2vzvzoxxvl0kpdooo4wookg4m538rgl46rvm9g640l0qdv927364rqggp3m2e23xg0p7gne5oq20o5evbdwkk0/owhkhwuwd70nz3fq/aHR0cHM6Ly9sZWFybndoeXdlYnV5LmNvbS8= ), a newsletter about buyer psychology with about 63,000 subscribers. And she’s on a mission to hit $2 million in revenue while, in her words, “getting lazier.” The biggest lever so far? A personalized welcome sequence that asks new subscribers what they need help with, then gives them exactly that. ------------------- How Katelyn Does It ------------------- 1. She asks new subscribers about their pain points at signup. When someone joins, they’re asked what they’re struggling with. It’s a quick 1-question survey that helps Katelyn sort people into groups based on what they actually need help with. ​ 2. She built targeted welcome sequences for each group. Instead of one generic welcome flow, Katelyn created different sequences based on the pain points people shared. Each one is built around a specific problem and leads naturally into the product that solves it. She compares it to walking into a stranger’s house: “Imagine you’re greeted with a drink at the door, and there’s this beautiful spread put out for you, and you feel valued. I feel the same way about the welcome sequence for a newsletter.” – Katelyn Bourgoin 3. The sequences sell without being pushy. Katelyn says she actually hates sales. Her approach is to let the marketing do the selling for her. The welcome sequences softly introduce her products in context, so by the time someone hits a sales page, they already know the brand and they’re already interested. Are you ready for the real gold? 4. She layers in segmented flash sales. Beyond the welcome sequence, Katelyn split her subscribers into thirds. Each segment sees a flash sale for a different product on a rotating basis, so there’s always an offer running, but no one person feels like they’re being sold to all the time. New subscribers get routed into the most relevant offer based on what they said at signup. And anyone in an active welcome sequence is excluded from flash sales so the experiences don’t overlap. ------------ Why It Works ------------ She’s meeting people where they are. Someone who just told you their biggest challenge and then gets a sequence addressing it will pay way more attention than someone getting a one-size-fits-all drip. It builds trust early. Instead of pitching right away, Katelyn creates what she calls a “wow-worthy first impression.” That goodwill carries forward into everything else, whether it’s a product launch, a flash sale, or just her regular newsletter. Segmented flash sales use real urgency without burning out the whole audience. By limiting deals to a segment of the list, she can use real urgency without burning out her whole audience. And because she’s not blasting sales on social media, her public content stays focused on value. ------- Results ------- * Digital product sales up 30% within 3 months of launching personalized sequences * Overall digital product sales doubled * And happier readers who feel like she’s speaking directly to them ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ 1. Add a “pain point” question to your signup flow. Keep it simple, with just one multiple-choice question about what they’re struggling with is enough to start. 2. Build a welcome sequence for each pain point. 3-5 emails that address their specific problem and naturally lead to a relevant product or offer. 3. Exclude people in active welcome sequences from other promotions so the experience doesn’t get messy. 4. Once you’ve got enough subscribers, try segmented flash sales. Split your list into groups, rotate offers, and give each segment a reason to buy now instead of later. 5. Analyze and iterate. See which sequences lead to the most sales and keep improving the ones that aren’t pulling their weight. ----- Tools ----- * ​Kit ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/xmuk8np597t6hp00273a5h2e70g33ag3zxrg40m56mr2vzvzoxxvl0kpdooo4wookg4m538rgl46rvm9g640l0qdv927364rqggp3m2e23xg0p7gne5oq20o5evbdwkk0/z2hgh7uex8m7g4uz/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2tpdC8= ) for email sequences, segmentation, and automation * A survey at signup – Katelyn uses Kit polls ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/xmuk8np597t6hp00273a5h2e70g33ag3zxrg40m56mr2vzvzoxxvl0kpdooo4wookg4m538rgl46rvm9g640l0qdv927364rqggp3m2e23xg0p7gne5oq20o5evbdwkk0/z2hgh7uex8m7g4uz/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2tpdC8= ) for this.

It's called "Accidentally send over thousands of subscribers on your list 3 welcome emails even though they've been subscribed for years." If you got a bunch of emails from me yesterday, my apologies. 🤦‍♀️ I ended up with over 200 replies from you letting me know: ​ The downside? I confused A LOT of you last night when you started getting a flurry of emails. I really am sorry about that. I was going to send an "Oops" email and then decided that adding a FOURTH email to this madness wasn't the right way to go. The plus side? I can't help but think this will end up improving my deliverability. ;) And I get to interact with a bunch of subscribers who usually don't reply. So there's your bonus 30 Days of Growth tip - send welcome emails to people who have been subscribed, confuse your readers, and improve your deliverability. (I'm kidding, don't do this). Okay, let's get on to the real tip for Day 1 of 30 Days of Growth! *************************************************** The 2-Step LinkedIn Posts That 10x’d His Email List *************************************************** How he added 30k+ followers and 10k subscribers to his email list with one small tweak. ----------------------------------------------------------------- --> --------------- CHENELL BASILIO --------------- April 20, 2026 You’ve seen the “comment [WORD] to get my free resource” posts on LinkedIn. They used to drive hundreds or even thousands of subscribers consistently. But by early 2025 (or if we’re being honest, 2024), everyone was doing them and engagement dropped. Daniel Bustamante had already run 30+ of those giveaways, and they drove 70-80% of his growth. But the tactic was losing steam. So he evolved it into what he calls the “2-Step” post. Instead of making the giveaway the whole post, Daniel writes a full educational post, then adds a comment-triggered CTA at the end tied to a deeper resource on the same topic. Some of his 2-Step posts now outperform his original giveaway posts. ------------------ How Daniel Does It ------------------ He writes a value-first post. The whole post is insanely valuable on its own: a framework, breakdown, or lesson. The reader gets something useful whether or not they take the next step. He adds a comment-triggered CTA at the end. Something like: “P.S. I put together a swipe file of welcome email examples. Want it? Comment SWIPE and I’ll send you a copy.” The resource always ties directly to the post topic. He delivers via DM with a landing page. When someone comments, he (or his assistant) DMs the resource as a link to a landing page where they enter their email. Here is an example: ​ 669 comments of people wanting to get this resource. 🤯 ​ ------------ Why It Works ------------ Leading with something valuable earns people’s attention before you make an ask. The reader already got value, so commenting a keyword feels like a natural next step. It also sidesteps LinkedIn’s link penalty, as there’s no external link in the post. Side note: I’ve heard links in the post don’t matter as much anymore, but every time I post with a link I get almost no reach. Delivering via DM creates a direct conversation, which can lead to sales calls for anyone selling services or high-ticket offers. And because the resource matches the post topic, commenters are self-selecting by interest. They’re not just collecting free things, they’re qualified leads who just told you what they care about. ------- Results ------- In 18 months, Daniel went from: * Grew from 600 to 30,000+ LinkedIn followers in 18 months * 1,000 to 10,000+ email subscribers - which is roughly 10x growth from a single format tweak 🤯 * Went from 0 to 2-4 warm inbound leads per week * $84K+ in digital product revenue on the side 70-80% of that growth came from his comment-triggered strategy and its 2-Step evolution. ------------------------ How You Can Implement It ------------------------ Step 1: Start with the post, not the freebie. Write something valuable enough to stand alone – a framework, breakdown, or lesson. Step 2: Build a resource that goes deeper on that exact topic. This could be a swipe file, checklist, template, etc. Step 3: Add a simple CTA at the end: “Comment [WORD] and I’ll send it.” Step 4: Deliver via DM, and send them to a landing page to opt in. Step 5: Follow it with a short welcome sequence so the new subscriber hears from you right away (not just silence after the freebie). This isn’t a complicated strategy, it just requires a little more effort. ----- Tools ----- * LinkedIn (free or Premium) – Premium will be valuable for DMs * Your ESP (Kit ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/d0u70derq4u0hon6nwdumhz9p82ddc2mkd62oq85x86zgkgk3ddg7qr49333oe33r2o85mv627ox6g8p2xoq7qn9gpz0mxo6n224m8zwzmd2q402lw53nzq35wgu0zpp8/e0hph0u7owxdg5f7/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2tpdC8= ), Beehiiv ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/d0u70derq4u0hon6nwdumhz9p82ddc2mkd62oq85x86zgkgk3ddg7qr49333oe33r2o85mv627ox6g8p2xoq7qn9gpz0mxo6n224m8zwzmd2q402lw53nzq35wgu0zpp8/owhkhwuwdlz0vpiq/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2JlZWhpaXYv ), etc.) for email capture and sequences * A landing page builder (Carrd ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/d0u70derq4u0hon6nwdumhz9p82ddc2mkd62oq85x86zgkgk3ddg7qr49333oe33r2o85mv627ox6g8p2xoq7qn9gpz0mxo6n224m8zwzmd2q402lw53nzq35wgu0zpp8/p8hehqu4o5vp0oir/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2NhcnJkLw== ), or your website) – email opt-in Every post Daniel publishes does 2 jobs at once.

​ ******************************* Get ready for 30 Days of Growth ******************************* 30 Days of Growth (Part 2) is happening. And YOU. ARE. IN. ---------------------------------------------------------- --> --------------- CHENELL BASILIO --------------- Hey , YES! You’re in. And I’m pumped to have you here. Last year I launched a "pop-up" newsletter called 30 Days Of Growth. The premise was simple: * 30 Days * 30 Ways To Grow Your Newsletter * 30 Different Creators It was one of the most incredible events. And we're SO back. Starting on April 20th for 30 days straight, I’m sending you a one tactical way to grow or optimize your newsletter each day. These will be short, actionable, and proven to work. Some will help you get more subscribers. Others will help you get more from the subscribers you already have. Either way, you’ll leave with a stronger, smarter email list than you started with. Here’s what happens next: * You’ll get one awesome tip every day for 30 days. Keep an eye out for the the candy emoji 🍬 in the subject line. * All of the published posts will live in a free archive you can review at any time during the event (you can also opt-out if it becomes overwhelming). * After 30 days, you'll keep getting newsletter research and growth ideas from me. Sound good? In the meantime, I have a question. 👉 What is your biggest challenge right now with newsletter growth? ​ I might end up featuring a tip that helps with your specific challenge. That would be pretty cool, huh? Your reply also lets your email provider know you want to get these emails. After all, you did sign up to get these, so I want to make sure they get sent to you on time and in the right place! Alright, I'm excited to get rocking!

It can be a struggle to look at creators who have huge newsletters and get discouraged. Do the strategies they're using now only work because they already have an audience? What did they do when they were just starting? That's what I'm here for. Each week, I spend 20-25 hours reverse engineering creators with 50k+ subscribers to figure out how they grew their audience. You can call me a newsletter nerd, for sure. 🤓 I think about this stuff all the time :) I've also put together the Growth Levers Library ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvupe8zq5et6ug0xvx4amhrx8ogg3cqw04x6zm9l3xgxrq08pvoqrg559zx9npdd74xw66mrnxwzggx8lreewq7oz40x9rnkqeegqwklvn6qwpl6o2ow8zqqdz2h2mrrx/reh8h9umd2qmzpt6/aHR0cHM6Ly9saWJyYXJ5Lmdyb3d0aGlucmV2ZXJzZS5jb20v ), a place where I've curated all of the tactics used by the creators I've studied. Important: To make sure you get these emails every Sunday: * Reply to this email with how you found the newsletter, or you can send a quick "Hi Chenell!" * If this email landed in the Junk or Promotions folder, please move it to your “Primary” inbox. If you skip these steps, you might not get any of my emails in the future. I think that would make both of us very sad. And I spend a lot of time doing this research for you, so I'd rather have it land in your inbox. :) To help you get started, you can read the most recent deep dive here ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvupe8zq5et6ug0xvx4amhrx8ogg3cqw04x6zm9l3xgxrq08pvoqrg559zx9npdd74xw66mrnxwzggx8lreewq7oz40x9rnkqeegqwklvn6qwpl6o2ow8zqqdz2h2mrrx/08hwhgu2eom2r8ap/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2FyY2hpdmUv ). ​ I've committed to replying to every email I get in April.

Back in February, I gave a talk at the New Media Summit about quiz funnels for newsletters. Yesterday, I got a full case study in my inbox from 2 guys in the audience. They took that one idea, built a quiz for their newsletter, and in 6 weeks it became 88% of their total lead generation. They went from averaging 17 signups a day to over 125. From one idea.

I've seen it work time and time again. But so often, people tell me they don't work for them. And so I like to experiment with this on a regular basis just to see what's changing, etc. Last year I went really hard with it. I ran 30 cross promotions in 30 days with 30 different creators, and I packaged the whole thing as a pop-up newsletter where every day you got one tactical, actionable way to grow or optimize your email list. I want to share some real numbers from what happened last year and why I think this strategy is underrated. Because I think there are lessons here whether you have 500 subscribers or 50,000.

There are loads of variations, but in essence, collaborations are what we're talking about here. And on the surface it sounds simple, almost too simple. But here's why I think they're so powerful. When someone recommends your newsletter to their audience, it comes with built-in trust. It's not an ad or some random promotion. It's a creator that person already knows and likes saying, "Hey, you should check this out." That's a warm introduction, and those subscribers tend to stick around way longer than people who come in through paid ads or giveaways. The other thing people get wrong about cross promos is they think you need to find someone with the exact same audience size. And that's just not true. Last year I intentionally worked with creators of all different sizes - some with huge lists, some with much smaller ones. And some of the smaller creators drove more engaged subscribers than the bigger ones. Engagement matters more than size. The challenge with cross promos, though, is that if you're sending a weekly newsletter, you only get maybe 4 or 5 opportunities a month to do one. And you can't really stack them because your readers are going to tune out if every issue is just recommendations for other newsletters. ------------------------------ How 30 Days of Growth Was Born ------------------------------ So in the Growth In Reverse Pro community, we were doing a challenge around cross promotions - trying to do them better, get more results, learn what actually moves the needle. And I realized that with my weekly send schedule, I was only going to get those 4-5 data points over the whole challenge. That's not enough to really learn anything. So I had this idea: what if I launched a separate daily newsletter - a pop-up, just for 30 days - and did a cross promotion in every single issue? Each day, a different creator would share one growth tactic that actually worked for them, and I'd feature their newsletter. In return, they'd share the 30 Days of Growth sign-up page with their audience. 30 cross promotions in 30 days. ​ At the time I thought it was going to be simple. I put the whole thing together in about 2.5 weeks. And I will tell you - it was not simple. It was one of the hardest things I've done. But it was also just plain fun. It was one of the most exciting experiments I've done since starting this newsletter. But the best part was hearing from readers that it was some of the highest quality information they'd gotten on newsletter growth in a while. That obviously feels great as the person who put it all together. ------------------ The Year 1 Numbers ------------------ So let me share some numbers, because I think this paints a really interesting picture. The first edition went out to 1,440 people. By the end of the 30 days, 3,714 people had signed up total. And of those, 1,757 were completely new subscribers - people who had not been subscribed to Growth In Reverse before. In 30 days. Now here's the part I love. I set up a referral component using a tool called Viral Loops. If you referred one person, you got access to a private podcast feed where I recorded an audio version of each day's growth tactic. And 102 people ended up sharing it with at least one person, which brought in 356 subscribers through referrals alone. That's roughly 10% of my new subscribers coming from word of mouth. And there was this one wild example - one person got referred, and they went on to share it with 15 people. One of those 15 people then went and referred 21 more people on their own. So that single original share turned into 36 new subscribers. That's pretty cool, huh? Engagement was strong too. The open rate on day 1 was 77%, and even on the final day - day 30 - it was still at 62%. So people were sticking with it. One of the best parts was that this lived on as a 30 day email sequence people could sign up for. So over the next few months the subscriber total went up to around 4,200 people. ​ I also asked people in the welcome email to reply with their biggest challenge with newsletter growth and I got over 200 replies in the first week alone. Not like one-word answers either. Paragraphs. People telling me exactly what they're struggling with. That was honestly one of the most valuable things to come out of the whole project. ----------------------------------------------- What I Learned (And What I'm Doing Differently) ----------------------------------------------- Okay, so what did I learn? A few things. First, give yourself more time. I put this together in 2.5 weeks and only had about the first week of content ready when I launched. I was writing some of these the morning they went out. It worked, but I would not recommend it. This year I'm giving myself way more prep time. But in reality, I still only probably have that amount of content ready to go, so who knows if this is necessary :) Second, not every creator's schedule is going to align with yours. Out of 29 creators I worked with, about 7 of them couldn't share during the timeframe we'd planned. That's something you have to account for when you're coordinating with that many people. Third, the referral incentive matters, but keep it simple. The private podcast feed was, I believe, the single biggest driver of referrals. It was a low barrier, just share with one person, and the reward was immediate and tangible. People loved having an audio version they could listen to on their commute instead of reading the email. And fourth, this kind of project builds relationships in a way that nothing else really does. I got to collaborate with 30 different creators, and those relationships have continued to pay dividends way beyond the 30 days. Some of them have come into the Growth In Reverse Pro community to do deeper workshops. It created this flywheel I didn't even plan for. ------------------- Year 2: What's Next ------------------- So with all of that context, let me tell you about this year. ​30 Days of Growth ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/92u602ze7ksnh6rd3pnh9hzqnnz84i0n59603qz24z6gx5x5k99xoqrmdkkk3ekkr03z2n860o346xzp043qoqvdxpgln436v00mnzg7gn90qml0w72kvgqk27xb2r33q/l2heh6ul2pdz62hg/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tLzMwLWRheXMtb2YtZ3Jvd3RoLw== ) is back, launching next Monday, April 20th. Same concept: 30 growth strategies from 30 creators in 30 days. Each one is a short, tactical tip you can implement in 24 hours or less. You'll get it via email every day, and if daily is too much, there's an option to get a weekly roundup instead. We've got some incredible creators lined up: Dave Gerhardt, Katelyn Bourgoin, Justin Welsh, Sam Vander Wielen, Daniel Bustamante, and a lot more I'm really excited about. This year, the prizes are a little different. Just like last year, if you refer 1 person, you get access to the private podcast feed where I'll record an audio version of each day's tactic. But there's more! Every referral you make counts towards your total, and these are the prizes: * 1 referral: Gets you access to the private podcast feed * 10 referrals: Shoutout in the Growth In Reverse newsletter. This goes out to 40k subscribers and people tell me they get quite a few readers from this. * 25 referrals: 5-Minute “Speed” Audit. I will record a 5-minute video sharing ideas for optimizations and growth for your newsletter. I charge $799 for the full audits, and this is a taste of that, for free. * 50 referrals: 30-Minute Growth Call where we dig into your newsletter and/or what you’re struggling with and help you get unstuck. Even if the daily format isn't your thing, I'd encourage you to sign up anyway. You can switch to the weekly digest, or just listen to the podcast episodes. I'm super excited about this.

I've seen it work time and time again. But so often, people tell me they don't work for them. And so I like to experiment with this on a regular basis just to see what's changing, etc. Last year I went really hard with it. I ran 30 cross promotions in 30 days with 30 different creators, and I packaged the whole thing as a pop-up newsletter where every day you got one tactical, actionable way to grow or optimize your email list. I want to share some real numbers from what happened last year and why I think this strategy is underrated. Because I think there are lessons here whether you have 500 subscribers or 50,000.

There are loads of variations, but in essence, collaborations are what we're talking about here. And on the surface it sounds simple, almost too simple. But here's why I think they're so powerful. When someone recommends your newsletter to their audience, it comes with built-in trust. It's not an ad or some random promotion. It's a creator that person already knows and likes saying, "Hey, you should check this out." That's a warm introduction, and those subscribers tend to stick around way longer than people who come in through paid ads or giveaways. The other thing people get wrong about cross promos is they think you need to find someone with the exact same audience size. And that's just not true. Last year I intentionally worked with creators of all different sizes - some with huge lists, some with much smaller ones. And some of the smaller creators drove more engaged subscribers than the bigger ones. Engagement matters more than size. The challenge with cross promos, though, is that if you're sending a weekly newsletter, you only get maybe 4 or 5 opportunities a month to do one. And you can't really stack them because your readers are going to tune out if every issue is just recommendations for other newsletters. ------------------------------ How 30 Days of Growth Was Born ------------------------------ So in the Growth In Reverse Pro community, we were doing a challenge around cross promotions - trying to do them better, get more results, learn what actually moves the needle. And I realized that with my weekly send schedule, I was only going to get those 4-5 data points over the whole challenge. That's not enough to really learn anything. So I had this idea: what if I launched a separate daily newsletter - a pop-up, just for 30 days - and did a cross promotion in every single issue? Each day, a different creator would share one growth tactic that actually worked for them, and I'd feature their newsletter. In return, they'd share the 30 Days of Growth sign-up page with their audience. 30 cross promotions in 30 days. ​ At the time I thought it was going to be simple. I put the whole thing together in about 2.5 weeks. And I will tell you - it was not simple. It was one of the hardest things I've done. But it was also just plain fun. It was one of the most exciting experiments I've done since starting this newsletter. But the best part was hearing from readers that it was some of the highest quality information they'd gotten on newsletter growth in a while. That obviously feels great as the person who put it all together. ------------------ The Year 1 Numbers ------------------ So let me share some numbers, because I think this paints a really interesting picture. The first edition went out to 1,440 people. By the end of the 30 days, 3,714 people had signed up total. And of those, 1,757 were completely new subscribers - people who had not been subscribed to Growth In Reverse before. In 30 days. Now here's the part I love. I set up a referral component using a tool called Viral Loops. If you referred one person, you got access to a private podcast feed where I recorded an audio version of each day's growth tactic. And 102 people ended up sharing it with at least one person, which brought in 356 subscribers through referrals alone. That's roughly 10% of my new subscribers coming from word of mouth. And there was this one wild example - one person got referred, and they went on to share it with 15 people. One of those 15 people then went and referred 21 more people on their own. So that single original share turned into 36 new subscribers. That's pretty cool, huh? Engagement was strong too. The open rate on day 1 was 77%, and even on the final day - day 30 - it was still at 62%. So people were sticking with it. One of the best parts was that this lived on as a 30 day email sequence people could sign up for. So over the next few months the subscriber total went up to around 4,200 people. ​ I also asked people in the welcome email to reply with their biggest challenge with newsletter growth and I got over 200 replies in the first week alone. Not like one-word answers either. Paragraphs. People telling me exactly what they're struggling with. That was honestly one of the most valuable things to come out of the whole project. ----------------------------------------------- What I Learned (And What I'm Doing Differently) ----------------------------------------------- Okay, so what did I learn? A few things. First, give yourself more time. I put this together in 2.5 weeks and only had about the first week of content ready when I launched. I was writing some of these the morning they went out. It worked, but I would not recommend it. This year I'm giving myself way more prep time. But in reality, I still only probably have that amount of content ready to go, so who knows if this is necessary :) Second, not every creator's schedule is going to align with yours. Out of 29 creators I worked with, about 7 of them couldn't share during the timeframe we'd planned. That's something you have to account for when you're coordinating with that many people. Third, the referral incentive matters, but keep it simple. The private podcast feed was, I believe, the single biggest driver of referrals. It was a low barrier, just share with one person, and the reward was immediate and tangible. People loved having an audio version they could listen to on their commute instead of reading the email. And fourth, this kind of project builds relationships in a way that nothing else really does. I got to collaborate with 30 different creators, and those relationships have continued to pay dividends way beyond the 30 days. Some of them have come into the Growth In Reverse Pro community to do deeper workshops. It created this flywheel I didn't even plan for. ------------------- Year 2: What's Next ------------------- So with all of that context, let me tell you about this year. ​30 Days of Growth ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5oe9rnobnhkxer30hphwlvvweqhq2wp3z9e846303mqw5xgkqm0ll8938dxvvnp32zzemd32900354m772qnk9pw38mdoq770q2o4gdzq2x4zkrk259qqv9rhke88g/l2heh6ul2pdz62hg/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tLzMwLWRheXMtb2YtZ3Jvd3RoLw== ) is back, launching next Monday, April 20th. Same concept: 30 growth strategies from 30 creators in 30 days. Each one is a short, tactical tip you can implement in 24 hours or less. You'll get it via email every day, and if daily is too much, there's an option to get a weekly roundup instead. We've got some incredible creators lined up: Dave Gerhardt, Katelyn Bourgoin, Justin Welsh, Sam Vander Wielen, Daniel Bustamante, and a lot more I'm really excited about. This year, the prizes are a little different. Just like last year, if you refer 1 person, you get access to the private podcast feed where I'll record an audio version of each day's tactic. But there's more! Every referral you make counts towards your total, and these are the prizes: * 1 referral: Gets you access to the private podcast feed * 10 referrals: Shoutout in the Growth In Reverse newsletter. This goes out to 40k subscribers and people tell me they get quite a few readers from this. * 25 referrals: 5-Minute “Speed” Audit. I will record a 5-minute video sharing ideas for optimizations and growth for your newsletter. I charge $799 for the full audits, and this is a taste of that, for free. * 50 referrals: 30-Minute Growth Call where we dig into your newsletter and/or what you’re struggling with and help you get unstuck. Even if the daily format isn't your thing, I'd encourage you to sign up anyway. You can switch to the weekly digest, or just listen to the podcast episodes. I'm super excited about this. Last year was a wild ride and this year is going to be even better.

​ ******************************* Get ready for 30 Days of Growth ******************************* 30 Days of Growth (Part 2) is happening. And YOU. ARE. IN. ---------------------------------------------------------- --> --------------- CHENELL BASILIO --------------- Hey Maude, YES! You’re in. And I’m pumped to have you here. Last year I launched a "pop-up" newsletter called 30 Days Of Growth. The premise was simple: * 30 Days * 30 Ways To Grow Your Newsletter * 30 Different Creators It was one of the most incredible events. And we're SO back. Starting on April 20th for 30 days straight, I’m sending you a one tactical way to grow or optimize your newsletter each day. These will be short, actionable, and proven to work. Some will help you get more subscribers. Others will help you get more from the subscribers you already have. Either way, you’ll leave with a stronger, smarter email list than you started with. Here’s what happens next: * You’ll get one awesome tip every day for 30 days. Keep an eye out for the the candy emoji 🍬 in the subject line. * All of the published posts will live in a free archive you can review at any time during the event (you can also opt-out if it becomes overwhelming). * After 30 days, you'll keep getting newsletter research and growth ideas from me. Sound good? In the meantime, I have a question. 👉 What is your biggest challenge right now with newsletter growth? ​ I might end up featuring a tip that helps with your specific challenge. That would be pretty cool, huh? Your reply also lets your email provider know you want to get these emails. After all, you did sign up to get these, so I want to make sure they get sent to you on time and in the right place! Alright, I'm excited to get rocking!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. 🐰 This week, I'm excited to share my deep dive on Pat Walls and how he grew the Starter Story newsletter and business into a 7-figure behemoth that he recently sold to HubSpot. So how did he do it? Well, spoiler alert. One of his main strategies early on was SEO. And it's definitely changed in the last few years, but when done right, it can still be wildly effective. Maybe even more than before because so many people seemed to have just given up on it?

While the ending is clearly outdated (he sold to HubSpot this year), it's still a great representation of the work he took to get to a place where he could sell it. ------- Pat Walls launched Starter Story ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvupe8zq5et5hqz9nxmhmhr2vkqq4cqw04x6zm9l3xgxrq08pvoqrg559zx9npdd74xw66mrnxwzggx8lreewq7oz40x9rnkqeegqwklvn6qwpl6o2ow8zqqdz2h2mrrx/kkhmh2unwq4x4pfk/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL3N0YXJ0ZXJzdG9yeS8_dmlhPWNoZW5lbGw= ) in late 2017 and has grown the site to a mind-boggling 1.6 million visitors per month, and over $1 million annually. Starter Story is a content site that primarily has interviews with founders of successful businesses. These run the gamut of e-commerce, SaaS, newsletters, and more. ​ Each interview includes revenue numbers, profits, business costs, and the background of how they got started. A lot of these businesses you might have never heard of, but they’re making tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars per month. So how did Pat and the Starter Story brand make money from publishing text-based interviews? Let’s take a look. ​ At the time, Starter Story was making around $1.1 million per year in revenue. Pat posted on Reddit ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvupe8zq5et5hqz9nxmhmhr2vkqq4cqw04x6zm9l3xgxrq08pvoqrg559zx9npdd74xw66mrnxwzggx8lreewq7oz40x9rnkqeegqwklvn6qwpl6o2ow8zqqdz2h2mrrx/58hvh8ugx8l6lea7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVkZGl0LmNvbS9yL0VudHJlcHJlbmV1ci9jb21tZW50cy94amNsbWUvbXlfd2Vic2l0ZV9hYm91dF9zdGFydHVwc19tYWRlXzc5MzQyX3RoaXNfbW9udGgv ) in September of 2022 about how the business was bringing in around $79k each month. I used that, along with some more recent premium member numbers that I found to back into some updated numbers, and estimate he was bringing in almost $100k per month. There are 3 main ways that Starter Story makes money today. ​ ​ ------------------------------- Starter Story’s Growth Timeline ------------------------------- Let's dig into the growth timeline a bit, shall we? ​ I know what you’re thinking. I must have done something wrong in my research. No newsletter just takes a nose dive after that much growth unless they just stopped writing the whole thing. I was so confused after seeing these numbers drop like that. I’ve never done this with a deep dive and usually just collect all the data on my own, but I had to reach out to Pat and see what happened. I messaged him on Thursday and just asked if they had chopped the list or what happened. We weren’t connected or anything so I was a little nervous my message wouldn’t get seen. Thankfully, he responded pretty quickly.... ​ -->Keep reading on the website ↗ ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvupe8zq5et5hqz9nxmhmhr2vkqq4cqw04x6zm9l3xgxrq08pvoqrg559zx9npdd74xw66mrnxwzggx8lreewq7oz40x9rnkqeegqwklvn6qwpl6o2ow8zqqdz2h2mrrx/25h2h9u39znmlrs8/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL3N0YXJ0ZXItc3Rvcnkv ) Keep reading on the website ↗ ( https://growthinreverse.com/starter-story/ ) In case you missed it --------------------- ***************** The Hidden Genius ***************** ------------------------------------- Why your best work might be invisible ------------------------------------- A hidden genius is someone who pours days, weeks, sometimes months or even years into making something genuinely great.

But the one thing I got the most feedback on was something that I almost didn’t include: the concept of the Hidden Genius ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/38ugdmer3dfkh2mm7z3srh4pvoo07s3n2084z5pr78x8w32lom63wxddpz8pgoqqk08n445wg8nzxx8lrw99n3k6z028pwgv399x3nvrmg43nor46e6nlz33qzeb5dgg7/9qhzhdudw2m8wmiz/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2hpZGRlbi1nZW5pdXMv ). Let's get into it. -------------------------- The 2 Variables of Success -------------------------- After studying hundreds of creators, I realized something: every success story comes down to 2 variables: * Momentum is the level of awareness a creator has. When you have momentum, growth becomes easier. Opportunities come your way, and the whole process becomes more enjoyable. People with zero momentum often haven’t given their work the best chance of breaking out and being shared by others. Momentum is when your work starts moving without you pushing every time. * Insanely Valuable Content is the kind that makes people reply “I can't believe this is free.” It helps someone make money, save money, save time, learn something, be entertained, or some combination of those. It's the difference between “meh, that was okay” and “I have to share this with a friend right now.” I decided to plot this out to visually show this: ​ Let’s talk about each of these 4 quadrants: * “Don’t Stay Here” - on the bottom left are the people who have “meh” content and don’t have any momentum. I just labeled this one “don’t stay here” because honestly, most of us start at this point. We’re figuring it out, and that’s okay. If you stay there too long, you’ll fizzle out. And if you’ve been at this a while and are still here, something needs to change. * Hard Mode - the bottom right are the people who are creating so much momentum, but their content isn’t that good. The people they are attracting are leaving and feeling let down. I call this hard mode because if they just put a little more effort into their work, the momentum they worked so hard to build would pay off and they’d find themselves in the “Rising Creator” space. Life would be easier. * The Rising Creator - the top right is where insanely valuable content meets consistent distribution. Your work compounds. People share it for you and growth starts to feel easier. * The last one is what I call The Hidden Genius. These are the people who work so hard at creating great work, but don’t spend any time on promotion. They aren’t willing, or are too afraid, to put their craft out into the world. After this talk, I had more than a handful of people tell me they resonated heavily with the “hidden genius” side of things. And that always breaks my heart. --------------------------- ​The Richest Place on Earth --------------------------- There’s a quote I keep coming back to, from the great Les Brown: “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.” - Les Brown That absolutely wrecks me every time I think about it. People didn’t give life to their ideas. Whether it was fear, social norms, or just never feeling ready - their genius stayed buried. And that sucks. ------------------------- ​What is a Hidden Genius? ------------------------- A hidden genius is someone who pours days, weeks, sometimes months or even years into making something genuinely great. They put their heart and soul into it, giving everything they can - but they never share it with the world. Maybe they hit publish. But they don’t tell anyone. They don’t talk about it. It just sits out there, undiscovered. I see it constantly. So many creators are deeply talented, deeply committed to their craft. But they’re so focused on the work itself that they completely neglect the other half: getting it in front of people. ---------------------- ​Why Does This Happen? ---------------------- There are a few layers here, and I’ll call out 3 of them. There are probably many more to add to the list, but I think 90% of them boil up to this first one. Fear. ----- Fear of looking dumb. Fear of getting feedback you don’t want to hear. Fear of saying something stupid. Fear of this thing you’re so tied and so excited by, not getting the feedback you want to hear. Or fear of what people will think - friends, family, even some random stranger on the internet. You see all those negative comments online and think, “Can I handle that? Can I sustain having people throw negativity at me after I’ve poured my heart into something?” But fear comes in many shapes and sizes. This whole thing is scary. I’m not going to pretend it isn’t. Perfectionism. -------------- As a creative person, you have great taste. And it becomes excruciatingly painful how far apart you are now, from being “good” at a thing. But that’s the name of the game. In an interview in the early 2000s, Ira Glass, host of This American Life, said one of the most profound things ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/38ugdmer3dfkh2mm7z3srh4pvoo07s3n2084z5pr78x8w32lom63wxddpz8pgoqqk08n445wg8nzxx8lrw99n3k6z028pwgv399x3nvrmg43nor46e6nlz33qzeb5dgg7/48hvh7uml2e3lxsq/aHR0cHM6Ly92aW1lby5jb20vODUwNDA1ODk= ) I’ve ever heard on this topic: “All of us who do creative work … we get into it because we have good taste. But it’s like there’s a gap, that for the first couple years that you’re making stuff, what you’re making isn’t so good, OK? It’s not that great. It’s really not that great. It’s trying to be good, it has ambition to be good, but it’s not quite that good.​ But your taste — the thing that got you into the game — your taste is still killer, and your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you’re making is kind of a disappointment to you.” That hits me like a ton of bricks every time I hear it. He goes on to say that this is the point where most people give up. They can’t stand how horrible their work might be, without realizing that it takes time to get better. And this perfectionism plays a HUGE role in keeping people from sharing their work. And even if you get past the fear and perfectionism, there’s another layer. The Moral Objection to Marketing. --------------------------------- A lot of creators (especially the really thoughtful ones) have this visceral reaction to anything that feels like “marketing.” You see the sleazy tactics, the clickbait, the noise from big corporations, and want no part of it. I get that. But by avoiding all promotion, you’re handicapping your own growth. You’re making it exponentially harder for anyone to find your work. And sadly, it’s usually the work the world needs the most. If your work is valuable enough, you are doing a disservice to the people who need it most by not sharing. You have this incredible knowledge, art, creativity that could actually change someone’s life and you’re not getting it into more hands because you “hate marketing?” If you’re not making any effort to showcase what you’re doing, you’re going to have a really hard time building an audience, growing your reach, and most importantly, making enough money to keep creating.​ ------------------- Be Your Own Johanna ------------------- Think about Van Gogh - the man never saw his work take off in his lifetime. He sold one painting while he was alive. One. His genius was only discovered after he was gone. How did he get famous after he had passed? His sister-in-law, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger, became his promoter. She organized exhibitions. She loaned paintings to galleries. She hustled her ass off to get his work out there. She spent decades doing this. And eventually, it worked. Van Gogh became one of the most recognized artists in history. But it took someone actively, relentlessly promoting his work to make that happen. If she hadn’t done that, his incredible work would have died with him. Even Van Gogh, one of the greatest painters who ever lived, needed someone to promote him. His genius alone wasn’t enough. Johanna was the one who got his work in front of people. If you’re just waiting to be discovered, you might be waiting forever. I’m not saying that newsletters are the same as famous paintings, but the underlying message holds true. Most of us don’t have a Johanna, so we have to be our own.​ -------------- Break the Seal -------------- There’s a creator named Colin Landforce who tweeted something recently that I loved. Colin is incredible at short-form video these days and well-known in the golf space for his content. He knows what hits, what doesn’t, and he’s become well known in the space, even teaching other creators how to create short-form video. When he got started with video a few years ago, his first ones were about basketball cards. It wasn’t that he was all-in on basketball. He loved basketball cards, but he didn’t think he was going to make money on cards. But he knew it was something he could talk about over and over again to break the seal of content creation. He used this to figure out what worked and how to create insanely valuable content. When he did make the switch to golf, he had learned so much about content creation that it became easier to stand out and not feel all the fear and uncertainty of being a complete beginner again. ​ ​source ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/38ugdmer3dfkh2mm7z3srh4pvoo07s3n2084z5pr78x8w32lom63wxddpz8pgoqqk08n445wg8nzxx8lrw99n3k6z028pwgv399x3nvrmg43nor46e6nlz33qzeb5dgg7/wnh2h6uq7opd7lcl/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9sYW5kZm9yY2Uvc3RhdHVzLzIwMzQwMjkwMTIzNjkyMzIxOTk= )​ I love that framing. Find something you’re willing to screw up in order to learn what works. Maybe it’s something you love but not quite the thing you want to do forever. If he had started with golf, Colin might not have put himself out there in the same way. I think it’s an incredible place to get started. Maybe even more so then when you find your true “thing.” This is one of the easiest ways to escape the Hidden Genius trap. Because when we find our thing, the topic we’re deeply passionate about, it actually becomes harder to share. You want to do it right. You don’t want to look like an idiot. The stakes feel so high. But there’s a learning curve to putting yourself out there. There’s a format you have to figure out. It’s a whole new game. And sometimes the best move is to practice with something that feels lower-stakes, just to build the muscle. The irony is that once you find the thing you’re most excited about, you get so nervous about messing it up that you freeze. Just know that momentum doesn’t come from going viral. It comes from consistently putting your work in front of people: sharing it, talking about it, and giving it multiple chances to be seen.​ ----------------- The Vicious Cycle ----------------- The vicious cycle of it all becomes one of doing nothing. You spend a ton of time on a piece of content. But you’re scared. You don’t share it. Nobody sees it. You don’t get good feedback, but you don’t get bad feedback either. And you start the next thing, and you don’t share that either. No feedback, just you, living in your head, thinking you’re on the right path without really knowing. Now you’re stuck in a cycle where your best work (the stuff you spent the most time on) never reaches anyone. You’re not getting feedback. You don’t know where you can improve. Hell, you don’t even know if you actually enjoy the topic, or just the idea of the topic. You might think something is your “thing” until you post about it a few dozen times and realize, “Nope, I’m done with that.” But without posting or sharing, you never figure that out. And to be honest, sometimes the reason it stays hidden is because it hasn’t been tested yet. Feedback helps turn good work into great work.​ ------------------------ It Never Fully Goes Away ------------------------ I don’t think we ever fully get past this. Every time you start something new, this fear can creep back in. I used to write deep dives every week, putting 40-60 hours into each piece - it became unsustainable as I wanted to podcast, and launch a community. But deep dives were the thing I had become known for. The reason people shared my work with others. So when I stopped writing deep dives, I felt like anything I published that wasn’t a full deep dive wasn’t “worthy.” I stopped posting much on social media, sharing those pieces with friends. Sure, they went out to the email list, but that was literally it. And you know what? People loved the shorter ones - and some even thought the shorter posts were deep dives anyway. So who was I to say my own work wasn’t valuable enough to promote widely?​ ------------------------------- The Real Cost of Staying Hidden ------------------------------- There are an infinite number of good ideas in the world. But ideas that never get shared for others to enjoy and learn from? They might as well not exist. Don’t let that be you. Your genius is too important to stay hidden. Even if it’s scary, even if you don’t feel ready, even if you’re not sure anyone will care, share it anyway. Tell a few people. Post it on social. Send it to a friend. Don’t worry about “building momentum” - just break the silence. The world needs fewer hidden geniuses and more people brave enough to share their creativity with the world. Don’t let the graveyard be the only place that gets to enjoy your work. ​ PS - This was a little difference than what I usually send, but it needed to be shared. Does this resonate with you?

A quick "thanks for subscribing" page, maybe a bland welcome email, and done. Or worse, you forget to set one up, and are essentially ghosting your new subscriber. You've wasted the moment when your new reader is most excited about your work. This comes from the Strategy Breakdowns newsletter. The founder, Tom Alder, was able to get his CTR from 23% to 47.4% on his welcome email. Tom's welcome email is different from most. It's not even just the email, but his onboarding workflow is so effective at capturing that excitement. How did he do that? Well, it starts with his welcome email, which is super simple.

There are a few reasons I think this works: * Personal opener with a photo of him waving. He's a real person, not a brand. * You understand the value proposition of the newsletter in one sentence. He tells you the result and time commitment, which keeps it simple. * 2 CTAs only: reply (engagement signal that helps with deliverability) and click to confirm. * The subtle surprise: clicking the confirmation link takes you to a full case study right now. He said "get tomorrow's case study" but you get one immediately. And it's his best piece of content, so you're getting bought in right away. The Numbers ----------- This new version took Tom's click through rate from 23% to 47.4% - which is WILD. 47% of new readers are clicking through. That's quite good. He essentially doubled his CTR by stripping the email back and keeping things focused. Not every scenario calls for this simple of a welcome email, but I think it could be worth a test. ------------------- 2. The 4-Hour Email ------------------- This next strategy comes from Jason Resnick at NurtureKit. Someone signs up for your lead magnet. They're excited. But then they don't open the delivery email because they got busy, forget, etc. The "4-hour email" recovers those missed connections (Craigslist, anyone? I miss the 2000s...) and starts a conversation while you're still top of mind. How It Works ------------ Set a trigger: if someone signs up for a lead magnet but doesn't click the lead magnet or free thing within 4 hours, send a second email automatically. 2 goals: * Make sure they actually get the thing they came for * Get a reply and warm up the relationship Let's walk through some examples. 4-Hour Email Examples --------------------- Version A: Simple and warm Subject: Did you get the [resource name]?​Hey [First Name],​Wanted to make sure you got the [lead magnet name]. Sometimes these get buried.​Here it is again: [link]​While I have you: what made you sign up? I'm always curious what people are working through.​- [Name]​ Version B: Personal, question-first Subject: Hey, did this get lost?​Hey [First Name],​Just checking in. I noticed you grabbed [lead magnet name] but I'm not sure the email made it through. Here's the link: [link]​Quick question: what's the one thing you're most hoping to figure out right now?​Talk soon,[Name]​ Version C: Super short Subject: Quick check-in​Hey, did you get the [resource name]?​[Link]​Let me know if you have questions.​- [Name]​ Results ------- Here are some results Jason shared from his experience: * Original email open rate: 81% * Subscribers who didn't open: 19% * Opened the 4-hour follow-up: 55% of that 19% * Click rate on follow up: ~10% * Unsubscribes from follow-up: 0 30 people got the follow up. And the best part? None unsubscribed. So if you were thinking you're bothering people, I'd push back there. I bet most people were grateful it showed up as a reminder. Setup Notes ----------- * This works in Kit or any ESP with an automation trigger. Beehiiv's automation flows should support it too. * Only send this to people who didn't click on the first email - that way your engaged subscribers won't see duplicate content. * Takes 20-30 minutes to set up and runs automatically from there. ​ ----------------------------------------------------------------- 💡Want more ideas like this?

I had a blast - and I got to meet a lot of you! That was definitely a highlight of the event. While I am an introvert through and through, I am also a huge fan of getting in person to meet others doing similar work. There's something magical about that experience. You feel much closer to someone you grabbed tacos with than you do after spending an hour on Zoom. It's awesome. 🌮 I also got to speak on stage at the event, and apparently they sold 550 tickets. So this was definitely the biggest crowd I've spoken to.

But Tom waited 2 years before launching a paid newsletter. This strategy isn't for everyone, but even if you do launch something earlier than that, the way he went about these next steps was very interesting. He had 2 non-negotiables before launching: 1. Build a big enough audience first. He wanted to prove to himself he could actually grow a substantial free newsletter before "earning" the right to charge for it. 2. Have a real plan. Instead of silently having a "by the way, there's a paid tier if you want it" approach. He put together a proper, thought-out launch strategy. Here are some of the pieces of that launch plan. ------------------------------------- The "Non-Calculatable" Offer Strategy ------------------------------------- Tom said that the problem with most paid newsletters is they're too easy to calculate. What does he mean? "4 emails a month for $20? That's $5 per email." The moment people can break down your offer into a simple cost-per-unit, you're competing on price. And that's not where you want to be. So he made his offer deliberately impossible to calculate by including: * Weekly premium marketing ideas (the best ones he'd been holding back for 2 years) * A 400-page PDF book (yes, seriously) * Archive access to all past premium content * A structured community launching a few months later with scheduled discussions, AMAs, and expert interviews You can't divide that by 4 emails and call it $5 each. Tom uses this same approach for everything he sells—even his corporate workshops include one-on-ones with leadership and follow-up AMAs, making it much harder to reduce to some kind of "cost per minute" calculation. -------------------------------------------- The Surprise Launch (No Teasing or Waitlist) -------------------------------------------- This breaks every product launch formula you've ever read. Tom didn't have a pre-launch sequence, a waitlist, or "coming soon" teasers. Just...boom. Wednesday morning he sent an email out saying, "Here's the paid plan." His reasoning? "If I tease them and they cannot pay, how will it help me?" Fair point. But I did push back on this with him. I actually think teasing things and creating some kind of curiosity beforehand is beneficial. And he admitted a waitlist would probably work well too—it just felt too complicated to manage manually in Substack. ---------------------------------------- The 9-Day Launch Sequence That Did $50K+ ---------------------------------------- Here's where the fun part begins. Many of us get caught up thinking we're emailing too much. But Tom knows better and made a legit plan for emailing enough during this window. He sent 1-2 emails per day for 9 days straight. I'm not telling you this to say you need to send that many, but using it as an example that generally we need to be emailing more than we are comfortable with. Here are how those emails broke down. Days 1-2 (Wednesday-Thursday): * Wednesday morning: Long-form launch email with social proof, full offer details, and 24-hour discount He had a fast-action pricing which got you $99/year for the lifetime of your subscription. After that, it was gone. ​ * Wednesday evening: Reminder (not just "hey don't forget about this" but he added value and more hints about what was coming) * Thursday: Another message about the sale * Thursday evening: Final reminder before price increase Day 3 (Friday): * Book launch. Yes you heard that right. Tom put out an entire book during this launch, and you could only get it by subscribing ( https://2ed903a4.click.convertkit-mail4.com/xmu6lmo4rli6hpo3lkkh5h2ddrdlltgdmv89ze42n8k85gmxrpog5kqq4z846rww0v8d99e568dzkk8x2533dg0ozvm84567g33kgd72p69gdr29olodxzggwzlbdwkk0/reh8h9um4vvpgxb6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWFya2V0aW5naWRlYXMuY29tL3AvdGhlLXF1aWNrLXdpbnMtdGhhdC05OS1vZi1tYXJrZXRlcnM_cj0zeHlrNw== ). And then he separated it from the main launch so it gets its own spotlight. Every paid subscriber got the PDF version free. Days 4-9: * Saturday: FAQ about the book * Sunday: First chapter of the book free, "subscribe to read the rest" * Monday: Sharing social proof from first 5 days * Tuesday: Smaller sale announcement (ending Friday) * Wednesday: Reminder (sent only to most engaged subscribers) * Thursday: one final reminder * Friday: was the launch of the first paid post He segmented some of these emails to only go to his most engaged 2,000 subscribers to avoid fatigue and an increase in unsubscribes. ------------------------- What Actually Worked Best ------------------------- While Substack has (a lot) of limitations, when you launch a paid newsletter there, you can see exactly which emails drove paid conversions. His winner? The Wednesday evening reminder—the one with the most urgency. "10 hours left for the one-time sale." This isn't surprising, right? If you've read anything about launches, there is always an urgency towards the end when people realize this is their last chance. The email that drove the second most subscribers? The one about his book launch. People really wanted that 400-page PDF of Marketing Ideas. ​ Because of the book options, Tom expected people to subscribe for one month just to grab the book, then cancel. But 30 days later, almost no one unsubscribed. I love hearing this because while some people probably intended to cancel, he was giving out enough value that they stuck around. ---------------- The 2-Year Setup ---------------- None of this would have worked without the non-obvious point that Tom spent 2 years giving away insanely valuable content for free. He didn't even have sponsors during this time. He also said he intentionally held back some of his best marketing ideas because "if everyone started using them, they'll lose their power." He wanted to save those for a smaller, paid audience. ------------ My Takeaways ------------ If you're thinking about launching a paid newsletter (or anything!): * Don't launch too early. Build trust first. As Gary V. would say, Give, give, give, and give some more before you ask. * Make your offer non-calculatable. Bundle things that create intangible value, not just "X posts per month for $Y." * Send more emails. Send 3x more email than you think you need to. Including value in these emails too so you'll feel less cringey about it and build in more goodwill with your readers. * Use real urgency. Limited-time pricing works because it works. You're not going to see that "launch" pricing offer from Tom for a while (if ever again). * Segment your emails. Protect your list by sending some messages only to your most engaged readers. And yes, you can do this a little bit with Substack, so don't let that hold you back. * Launch with a book? Now I realize this one is hard. But I think it works because it was this extra thing you get for free. And because it is hard to do, most people won't put in the effort so you'll definitely stand out. The best part of this launch? Every week after subscribing Tom is proving why it is worth it to be a paid subscriber. His content is insanely valuable. Even if you can't or don't want to pay quite yet, check out Tom's free newsletter.

Their monthly Twilio bill runs $300,000-400,000, but it’s seems like it’s 100% worth it. One text message to their list can generate $5,000-10,000 or more in revenue. I signed up and got some of these to show you: This isn’t my cup of tea, so I unsubscribed after a few days, but I can see how this works But you can’t just send out your free content. “You probably have to be at least 50% ads, otherwise it’s just not going to pay for itself,” Matt said. When he sends a text to his full list, it costs at least a few thousand dollars. So every text needs to at least break even on that send cost. They’ve built 3 separate SMS lists, and they’re strategic about collecting numbers. ---------------------------------------------- The 4-Channel Strategy That Changed Everything ---------------------------------------------- Most newsletter operators celebrate getting one email address. MarketBeat collects four different touchpoints from a single visitor: * Email subscription to MarketBeat * Email subscription to their Beehiiv list (American Market News) * SMS subscription * Web push notifications “If I can communicate four or five different ways with people, it’s a lot easier to break even than if I just have one email subscription,” Matt says. This multi-channel approach makes their paid acquisition work. They spent $11 million on ads last year and are targeting $20 million this year. That’s only possible because their funnel is so profitable. I don’t hear a ton of people talking about push notifications these days, but Matt still seems excited about them. Here is a screengrab of what that signup looks like: ​ This kind of notification would make sense for someone interested in timely stock news. ----------------- The Money Machine ----------------- After someone signs up for their newsletter, they go through 4 to 5 offer screens. Each page is dynamically optimized based on what’s performing best across their various co-registration networks and their own ad inventory. ​Keep reading about MarketBeat's Money Button here.

And now he teaches others how to do the same with his newsletter and brand called Creator Wizard ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/d0umk96pokf0hod3gkesmhz22r244s298gvpkwozlvrv528d64325rnnokvox6eeqgv9ppw5xv9krrvdz5mm92q3kg8vo5x02mmr290z4xp296zp3739dk22ek7c0zpp8/7qh7h2u9d5q7dgb9/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2NyZWF0b3J3aXphcmQv ). ​ There are very few people who have been on both sides of the negotiation table when it comes to brand partnerships: * Having the experience in closing millions in deals for their own personal creator brands * And knowing what the brands are looking for in their negotiations Add on top of that a teaching mindset and there might only be one person who is the perfect combination of these things. His name is Justin Moore. -------------- How It Started -------------- In 2009, Justin's wife April launched a beauty YouTube channel. He edited her videos, and when brands started paying for sponsorships, Justin, who was in business school at the time, jumped in to negotiate the deals. ​ He got good at it. Really good. After years of running these partnerships, Justin saw other influencer friends struggling with the same challenges. He already had the brand connections, so he launched Trending Family, an influencer agency connecting lifestyle creators with sponsors. Seven years later, he had to shut it down. But that "failure" became his greatest asset. Running the agency taught him exactly what brands want, what they'll pay, and who makes the decisions. Combined with his YouTube experience, he understood both sides of the table better than almost anyone. Today, Justin runs Creator Wizard, teaching creators how to land and negotiate their dream brand deals. And he's perfectly positioned for it: he's lived the entire journey, from editing his wife's videos to running a seven-figure agency. ---------------------- How Justin Makes Money ---------------------- Justin is one of those “under-the-radar” creators who’s quietly lots of money. And it’s not like he isn’t talking about it, but if you look at his follower count and email subscriber numbers you might write him off. Well, you’d be making a huge mistake because there is a lot we can learn from Justin’s business. So let’s dig into how he’s making his money today. Brand Deal Wizard ----------------- ​Brand Deal Wizard ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/d0umk96pokf0hod3gkesmhz22r244s298gvpkwozlvrv528d64325rnnokvox6eeqgv9ppw5xv9krrvdz5mm92q3kg8vo5x02mmr290z4xp296zp3739dk22ek7c0zpp8/owhkhwuwxdpvp3fq/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2JyYW5kLWRlYWwtd2l6YXJkLw== ) is Justin’s course where he teaches you the full process of finding, pitching, closing your dream brand partnerships. ------------------------------- ​​The $10k Brand Deal Challenge ------------------------------- Justin started running a live 4-day $10K Brand Deal Challenge to show creators how to pitch, price, and close high-value sponsorships ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/d0umk96pokf0hod3gkesmhz22r244s298gvpkwozlvrv528d64325rnnokvox6eeqgv9ppw5xv9krrvdz5mm92q3kg8vo5x02mmr290z4xp296zp3739dk22ek7c0zpp8/z2hgh7ue5xnvn4sz/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2JyYW5kLWRlYWwtY2hhbGxlbmdlLz9yZWY9Mw== ) the right way.

Brand Deals & Sponsorships -------------------------- It would be crazy to talk about the “brand deal” guy and not mention his own brand deals. Justin works with sponsors for his YouTube channel, newsletter, etc. When he had a 3,000-person email list, he told Nathan Barry ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/d0umk96pokf0hod3gkesmhz22r244s298gvpkwozlvrv528d64325rnnokvox6eeqgv9ppw5xv9krrvdz5mm92q3kg8vo5x02mmr290z4xp296zp3739dk22ek7c0zpp8/kkhmh2unzvrqr3sk/aHR0cHM6Ly9uYXRoYW5iYXJyeS5jb20vMDY4LWp1c3Rpbi1tb29yZS1nYW1lLWNoYW5naW5nLW5ld3NsZXR0ZXItc3BvbnNvcnNoaXAtc3RyYXRlZ2llcy8= ) he sold a $2k sponsorship deal. I’m not sure those numbers hold up if you extrapolate them out to the 35,000 subscribers he has now, but Justin is a deal-making machine so it’s possible. The Wizards Guild ----------------- Justin runs an asynchronous coaching program called The Wizards Guild ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/d0umk96pokf0hod3gkesmhz22r244s298gvpkwozlvrv528d64325rnnokvox6eeqgv9ppw5xv9krrvdz5mm92q3kg8vo5x02mmr290z4xp296zp3739dk22ek7c0zpp8/58hvh8ug32q8q9b7/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL3dpemFyZHMtZ3VpbGQv ), where people can pay $1k+ per month to essentially have his team there to answer their questions. The Book -------- Justin wrote a book outlining his whole process called The Sponsor Magnet ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/d0umk96pokf0hod3gkesmhz22r244s298gvpkwozlvrv528d64325rnnokvox6eeqgv9ppw5xv9krrvdz5mm92q3kg8vo5x02mmr290z4xp296zp3739dk22ek7c0zpp8/25h2h9u3lw6z67u8/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY3JlYXRvcndpemFyZC5jb20vc3BvbnNvcm1hZ25ldA== ). While he probably won’t make millions from this book alone, the people who read it are going to be primed and ready for his other offerings. Sponsor Games Event ------------------- Justin launched an event last year called Sponsor Games ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/d0umk96pokf0hod3gkesmhz22r244s298gvpkwozlvrv528d64325rnnokvox6eeqgv9ppw5xv9krrvdz5mm92q3kg8vo5x02mmr290z4xp296zp3739dk22ek7c0zpp8/qvh8h8udepz5zrhg/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL3Nwb25zb3ItZ2FtZXMv ). I went to this and it was AWESOME. If you get a chance to go this year, you absolutely should. He turns learning into a fun, group activity – I haven’t laughed that hard and been more engaged in a while. ​ ------------------------------------- The Growth Timeline of Creator Wizard ------------------------------------- Let’s take a look at Justin’s growth timeline to see how he’s built up his newsletter and audience. Of course, I could drag this growth timeline out to the early days and start it in 2011, but I feel like that dilutes the story of his current business. Just keep in mind that he has years of experience in the creator and sponsorship space. ​ You can see a big jump around the beginning of 2023. We’ll get into more on that later, but I wanted to show you this big spike in a timeline form. --------------------------------- The Growth Levers of Justin Moore --------------------------------- Justin’s business is one of the most straightforward I’ve researched, but also one of the most nuanced. Alright, let’s share Justin’s growth secrets. --------------------------- 1. Do the Unscalable Things --------------------------- While it can be easy to get bogged down with growth at all costs, and tactics that result in big numbers, Justin does a lot of “unscalable things.” He’s more focused on the quality of his subscribers as opposed to the sheer numbers. And shouldn’t we all? 1-1 Relationships ----------------- I don’t know if it comes from his experience building relationships with brands for 15 years, or it’s just his personality, but Justin is one of the most effective relationship builders I’ve ever seen. He and I can both walk into a room and meet the same 5 people, and Justin will walk out with each one’s number and a task to follow up on some collaboration they talked about. Me? I’ll meet them and maybe follow up with one of them. And it’s not some weird ploy to grow his business, he just loves being around people, helping others, and working together. He doesn’t waste any time finding a way to work with creators. This leads to all kinds of collaborations like: * Podcast guests * Resource swaps * Workshops * Affiliate partners * Clients and customers * Brand partnerships You name it, he’s done it. I could go on and on about this but I’ll stop here because it’s really that simple. Be a good human, talk to people, and follow up. 1-1 DMs ------- In the early days, Justin would direct message his new followers and tell them to sign up for his newsletter. He said that this led to connections and even people buying his course, so I’d say it was pretty effective. source Do I think this is the best, least cringey way to get people to sign up? No. And it probably won’t work as well today. But Justin is also shameless about promoting his content. Be Shameless ------------ Justin has no shame about being quirky to get attention and help creators. He’ll wear a cheesy shirt, a light-up backpack that tells people to subscribe, and even walk around a conference with a spinner to spread the word about getting people more sponsorships. ​ He’s having fun with his work, which builds affinity and gets people to remember you. Give First & Say Yes -------------------- One of the reasons he is so effective at building relationships is that Justin is one of those people who will help you regardless of how much he has on his plate. He thinks that giving first is the way to build a good business because he knows it comes back in the end, even if it’s 10 years down the road. The other side of this coin is saying “yes” to every opportunity. In a thread about his growth, he brings this up: source Even if there are 3 people listening, that’s 3 potential subscribers who can refer others to you and become customers. At the same time, you’re building a relationship with that podcaster or brand. And by the time you get invited to those podcasts that have thousands of listeners, your message will be refined and much more compelling for the people listening. So it’s a win-win. I really think 75% of his growth has stemmed from his ability to meet new people, and willingness to help others, but there are more tactics we can learn from. ----------------------------- 2. Become the “Guy” (or Girl) ----------------------------- When Justin started Creator Wizard, he was nowhere near as niched down as he is now. He was trying to help people with the overall “Business of being a creator.” He was talking about all kinds of things: * Email marketing * Social media * Monetization * Sponsorships * Affiliate partners * Finance for creators It was honestly a smorgasbord of anything you could think of around building a business. Sadly, people didn’t know what he did because he said he did it all. And his growth reflected that. Now, in hindsight, this looks so crystal clear it’s almost laughable: * He ran an influencer agency for 6 years helping creators land sponsorships * 80% of his tweets were about brand deals and sponsorships * His newsletter was all about sponsorships * He had even built a full-blown course on the power of sponsorships and how to do them well in January of 2021: ​ Even though he had such a unique experience in the world of sponsorships, he still continued to focus on the “business of being a creator.” Here is one of his tweets from June of 2021 where he was still on this path: source But one day in late 2021, a subscriber DMed him and told him to stop talking about anything but sponsorships and brand deals. Thankfully, he listened. Justin doubled down on his unique expertise of helping creators land brand sponsorships and deals. This was probably the easiest rebrand in history because he was already doing all of the things, it was more just fixing what he told people he did. He changed his Twitter profile to say: “Justin Moore | Brand Deal Coach” Although, he still had the “Teaching the business of being a creator” in the description Since he made that switch, he has exploded and become known as “The Sponsorship Guy.” If you’ve ever asked me about learning how to do sponsorships, the answer I’ve probably given you is to “Go watch Justin” or “sign up for Justin’s newsletter ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/d0umk96pokf0hod3gkesmhz22r244s298gvpkwozlvrv528d64325rnnokvox6eeqgv9ppw5xv9krrvdz5mm92q3kg8vo5x02mmr290z4xp296zp3739dk22ek7c0zpp8/7qh7h2u9d5q7dgb9/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL2NyZWF0b3J3aXphcmQv ).” Why? Because it’s so specific. And since that’s all he talks about, he’s gotten really good at his messaging. I don’t have to think twice about who to send people to. Brand partnerships = Justin Moore. If he had stuck with the whole “business of being a creator” thing, no one would know who to send to him and what he could truly help with. -------------------------------- 3.

Matt McGarry? He found a way to get over 1,000 email subscribers from a single video. And the best part is it's not some complicated funnel or paid ad strategy. He's using simple lead magnets, just executed really well. We recorded a podcast interview ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/mvupe8zq5et5hq2p48oamhrk950qqbqw04x6zm9l3xgxrq08pvoqrg559zx9npdd74xw66mrnxwzggx8lreewq7oz40x9rnkqeegqwklvn6qwpl6o2ow8zqqdz2h2mrrx/kkhmh2unz6prgrsk/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_bGlzdD1QTEk4MFBjZmg5S0Z4aHl0MHhrZDlVYklOdG5EX0RvdE5mJnY9Y2pIVXFFWG9DQVU= ) with Matt recently. During our conversation, he casually mentioned that he had gotten "hundreds" of email subscribers from one YouTube video. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Right before we hit publish on the interview, I texted Matt to get an update. He later said it was more than 1,000 too. Crazy. In that text, he also casually reminded me that my slides for the New Media Summit are due this week, and I should focus on that :) Whoops. Sorry, Matt - the slides are almost done. 😬 Right now feels like a good time to mention today's sponsor, New Media Summit ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/mvupe8zq5et5hq2p48oamhrk950qqbqw04x6zm9l3xgxrq08pvoqrg559zx9npdd74xw66mrnxwzggx8lreewq7oz40x9rnkqeegqwklvn6qwpl6o2ow8zqqdz2h2mrrx/p8hehqu4rgemkxhr/aHR0cHM6Ly9uZXdtZWRpYXN1bW1pdC5jb20vP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1qYW4yNSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXImdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1Hcm93dGhJblJldmVyc2U= ). This was one of my favorite events last year (and I go to a lot of them!) How can you beat hanging out with hundreds of people who are excited about newsletters, email marketing, and audience growth?! I’m heading back again this year to speak about the newsletter growth strategies I’ve uncovered through my research. Dylan (podcast co-host) will be MC-ing the whole thing, along with an incredible lineup including people like: Codie Sanchez, Alexis Grant, Ryan Deiss, Matt Paulson, and more. I love getting in a room with other newsletter and media operators. Meeting new people, swapping ideas, and discovering businesses I’ve never heard of - the speakers are great, but the side conversations are the real magic. It's happening in Austin, Texas at the end of February, so us northerners can get a little break from the cold (we're currently getting up to 21 inches of snow, woof). But you might want to hurry.

Those "hundreds" had turned into over 1,000 subscribers from that single video. Naturally, as I do, I went down the rabbit hole to figure out how he did this so I could share it with you all. --------------------- Really, lead magnets? --------------------- You might be thinking - Chenell, lead magnets are old and lame. To which I would say you would be incorrect :) No, this is not a new concept, but the intentionality behind it feels really fresh. And it feels native to the piece of content you're already watching. It kind of reminds me of content upgrades from the 2015 era (am I dating myself?) The best part is that these videos, unlike other social posts, live on long past the typical 24-48 hours you get on other platforms. YouTube videos can be found YEARS later and you could still be getting email subscribers from those. ---------------------------- 🎥 Here’s the Full Breakdown: ---------------------------- These videos and details are typically things I share with people in Growth Vault only, but I couldn't keep this one from you guys. Here is the exact strategy Matt’s using to grow his email list using YouTube videos, and I recorded a quick video ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/mvupe8zq5et5hq2p48oamhrk950qqbqw04x6zm9l3xgxrq08pvoqrg559zx9npdd74xw66mrnxwzggx8lreewq7oz40x9rnkqeegqwklvn6qwpl6o2ow8zqqdz2h2mrrx/58hvh8ug3kwqpxa7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGVsbGEudHYvdmlkZW8vaG93LXRvLWdldC0xMDAwLWVtYWlsLXN1YnNjcmliZXJzLWZyb20tb25lLXZpZGVvLW1hdHQtbWNnYXJyeS1nczB6 ) to walk you through this full strategy.

Naturally, this is a longer presentation, and people always want the slides. Why? Who knows, but people love that stuff. So, he gives them what they want…and more via a very well done lead magnet. -------------------------------------------- He promotes the lead magnet in a few places: -------------------------------------------- You can expand each toggle below to see more info and a screenshot 1. The video description ------------------------ He adds it to the video description, right at the very top so you don’t have to “expand” the description to see the link: ​ 2. Within the first 3-4 minutes of the video -------------------------------------------- He also calls out the lead magnet in the first few minutes of the video (3:35 to be exact) to let people know this even exists. He waits until after he’s told you why this strategy is worth your time and how valuable it is (it’s driven over $5 million in sales over the last 3 years). He’s got people at their peak excitement level at this point: ​ 3. The outro of the video ------------------------- After you’ve listened to the whole presentation, you’re bought in. So he reminds people again that they can get the slides and his upcoming guide on how to run a successful cohort. ​ 4. The pinned comment --------------------- This is the one people (including myself!) forget most often. But people do look in the comments, and when you have a pinned comment, it stands out quite a bit. ​ ⭐ Bonus: Introduce the lead magnet language ------------------------------------------- Another subtle thing Matt did in this one is starting to use the language around “crafting your cohort” right before he actually promotes the lead magnet. Here is the part of the transcript where he does this (about 30 secs prior to promoting it): He's introducing the exact phrasing he'll be using for the lead magnet “Craft your cohort” is not a typical phrase people are using around cohort courses, so this is smart. ----------------- The Custom Domain ----------------- Matt does something really smart with this: he’s using a custom domain. Instead of having a lead magnet that is hard to remember the URL, like growletter.co/p/how-to-run-cohorts, he created a custom domain for this one: ​ Note: it seems like he is planning to start a separate business around this concept so this makes sense. I probably wouldn’t do this for every lead magnet you create for YouTube. But if you have 2-3 “main” ones, I would absolutely do this. ​ -------------------------------- The High-Converting Landing Page -------------------------------- Here are 6 reasons this landing page is probably converting at a high rate (aside from the super warm traffic source): ​ 1. The “what” statement that acts as a pre-subheadline. ------------------------------------------------------- This is a very practical statement of what you’re going to get now and something to look forward to in the future. 2. The Sexy Headline -------------------- This is one of the most important parts of a landing page. Instead of “get the free download” or “subscribe to the newsletter”, he’s tell you the sexy version of what you’re going to get when you enter your email. 3. A “without” statement ------------------------ People are always going to have objections to what you’re offering. Even if it’s free, even if you’re paying them to download it. “This only works because of x, y, and z” With this statement, Matt is addressing some of the most common ones. 4. A form with minimal fields. ------------------------------ This sounds basic, but I can’t tell you how many times I see people asking for some conbination of: * First name * Last name * Email * Date of birth * Country * Phone number Keep it simple. What do you actually need to deliver them value? Usually, it’s some combo of name, email, or email and phone number like Matt’s doing. 5. A button that doesn’t say “subscribe” ---------------------------------------- Again, no one wants to subscribe to anything. It also kind of sounds like I’m going to have to pay. Find a clever way to use button text, and feel free to customize it to the landing page it’s on. 6. Call out box --------------- I love this addition. He’s adding social proof and a brief reminder of how this exact strategy has helped him earn $5 million. Once you subscribe, he sends you right to the slides: But he also sends you an email letting you know there is more coming: ​ Right now, he’s promoting the New Media Summit ( https://2ed903a4.click.kit-mail6.com/mvupe8zq5et5hq2p48oamhrk950qqbqw04x6zm9l3xgxrq08pvoqrg559zx9npdd74xw66mrnxwzggx8lreewq7oz40x9rnkqeegqwklvn6qwpl6o2ow8zqqdz2h2mrrx/p8hehqu4rgemkxhr/aHR0cHM6Ly9uZXdtZWRpYXN1bW1pdC5jb20vP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1qYW4yNSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXImdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1Hcm93dGhJblJldmVyc2U= ) because that’s his main focus in the business as it's only about a month away. But he can always update this email in the future to promote something else. ​ ---------------------- How to Replicate This: ---------------------- The strategy is simple, it's the execution that makes a difference. * Come up with an insanely valuable video idea * Share the slides, a resource, a checklist, plug and play template - something that is the next step people will want after seeing your video * Use a custom domain (optional) * Craft a high-converting landing page * Deliver the free thing right away * Add them to your welcome sequence, orienting them to exactly what they’ll start getting from you on the newsletter * Experiment, iterate, and test new ideas. Have you used lead magnets with video before? How'd it go? ​ ​ ----------------------------------------------------------------- 💡Want more ideas like this?

By April 2021, he'd grown it to 9,800 subscribers in just six months—no small feat. Then he launched a referral program that I cannot stop thinking about. On launch day alone, referrals drove 94.8% of new subscribers. They effectively doubled their daily sign-up rate overnight. ​ Today, The Dink ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/r8ux905q79toh3k5z2qt2hdovqm66ho6r2mln9vw7m5mxor0d4kox5zzvnmv8dqqp2m6ll9x8m6n55m0wxee6opkn2rmvx83oee5o63w48lo6dwlkgk60nooqngb30rr7/kkhmh2un4p350zsk/aHR0cHM6Ly9ncm93dGhpbnJldmVyc2UuY29tL3RoZS1kaW5rLw== ) has hundreds of thousands of email subscribers and 2 million followers across social media. It's become a household name in pickleball. And when you look at their growth timeline, you can pinpoint the exact moment everything accelerated: The arrow shows you the referral program launch day. Referral programs typically drive incremental gains. They're not "sexy" like paid ads or viral videos. But this is one of the most exceptional newsletter referral programs I've ever seen. On launch day, Thomas posted this, a sign of good things to come: ​ From my math, they were doing around 50 subs per day on average up to that point. The referral program effectively doubled their subscribers on day one. So what does this program look like, how did it help their growth, and why am I so freaking excited to share this with you?

It's only the first Monday of the year, and I think I may have already gotten in over my head. You might remember my friend Nathan May from our podcast episode ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/27uqlk6drlcoh8l88v6a3hgz5m744h0xvr7on9zdg7e7q0v623l0qe55zn7zm2ww4r7xoo9qm7xnee76dqppx04lnrv7zqmk0ppe0xkd3mo0x2dol8lx6n00wn8bnxwwd/z2hgh7ue0x5zg5az/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dD0zMnMmdj0tMWw3ZHlCeHh3TQ== ) where he shared how his invite-only newsletter helped him build a 7-figure agency in under a year. He has a wild story and has seen so much of the behind-the-scenes work of big newsletters. In 2025 alone, he worked with 300+ newsletters through The Newsletter Accelerator and another 60+ inside his agency, including some of the biggest ones out there (like Beehiiv's founder, which is pretty cool). He knows A LOT of interesting newsletter stuff, so I asked him to share his knowledge with you all, and he agreed. Which is great! 👉 But here's the problem.... He said that he would run TWO sessions for Growth In Reverse readers ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/27uqlk6drlcoh8l88v6a3hgz5m744h0xvr7on9zdg7e7q0v623l0qe55zn7zm2ww4r7xoo9qm7xnee76dqppx04lnrv7zqmk0ppe0xkd3mo0x2dol8lx6n00wn8bnxwwd/p8hehqu48orevmir/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tL2R5NXVsbmpY ). I got really excited until I realized that this means I am on the hook for getting people to both of them 🫣 So if one of your goals for 2026 is to take your newsletter seriously, add recurring revenue, or even just start the dang thing - I hope you'll come join us for one (or both) of these trainings. ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/27uqlk6drlcoh8l88v6a3hgz5m744h0xvr7on9zdg7e7q0v623l0qe55zn7zm2ww4r7xoo9qm7xnee76dqppx04lnrv7zqmk0ppe0xkd3mo0x2dol8lx6n00wn8bnxwwd/p8hehqu48orevmir/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tL2R5NXVsbmpY ) It would be awesome if it wasn't just me and Dylan in the audience 😬 See you there? (please) Okay, onto today’s issue. ​ ------------------------------------------------------ 🤿 The ABC Content Strategy that led to 455k+ followers ------------------------------------------------------ He went from zero followers in December 2021, to amassing over 455k in 3 years. And over 65k email subscribers. ​ This is one of my favorite deep dives ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/27uqlk6drlcoh8l88v6a3hgz5m744h0xvr7on9zdg7e7q0v623l0qe55zn7zm2ww4r7xoo9qm7xnee76dqppx04lnrv7zqmk0ppe0xkd3mo0x2dol8lx6n00wn8bnxwwd/x0hph3uex0kmg2hg/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tL2c1UmR5NFY1 ) because he started this social profile with a genuine desire to help people and save them money. And it's turned into an incredible business. Here are just some of the things I'll walk you through in this deep dive: 🐦 1. The Twitter Explosion. This started as an anonymous account, and within 14 hours he had 4,000 followers. Now he's at over 455k. We'll walk through exactly how he got there. 🔤 2. The "ABC" Content Strategy. He has a very specific content strategy building in sprints and creating a minimal calendar to keep track of it all. This was my favorite part of the deep dive. ♻️ 3. Content Flywheel. Over time, his content generates more followers and subscribers, and this flywheel is a self-perpetuating growth machine. I can't wait to show you the growth story in this week's deep dive ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/27uqlk6drlcoh8l88v6a3hgz5m744h0xvr7on9zdg7e7q0v623l0qe55zn7zm2ww4r7xoo9qm7xnee76dqppx04lnrv7zqmk0ppe0xkd3mo0x2dol8lx6n00wn8bnxwwd/x0hph3uex0kmg2hg/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tL2c1UmR5NFY1 )! ​ -->Read the Deep Dive ↗ ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/27uqlk6drlcoh8l88v6a3hgz5m744h0xvr7on9zdg7e7q0v623l0qe55zn7zm2ww4r7xoo9qm7xnee76dqppx04lnrv7zqmk0ppe0xkd3mo0x2dol8lx6n00wn8bnxwwd/x0hph3uex0kmg2hg/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tL2c1UmR5NFY1 ) Read the Deep Dive ↗ ( https://trckly.com/g5Rdy4V5 )​ That's it for this week.

I have big goals for 2026 (I'm guessing you probably do, too!). If your goal for this year is to: * Finally start a newsletter OR * Turn your newsletter hobby into a business that generates predictable revenue ....then this ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/8kuwpeo3dpboh2wep4khkhk6pm399ho6ex5ld20n35v5goek4mzogvpp0d5074wwqx56ll2g756dvv5kng996oqzdxe50g78o99vo68nm7lo64nlzrz6kdoowdrbzv992/e0hph0u75mo9kma7/aHR0cHM6Ly9jbGFzcy50aGVmZWVkbWVkaWEuY29tL3dvcmtzaG9wLWNoZW5lbGwtYmFzaWxpby8= ) is going to be a huge help. My friend Nathan May is running a live workshop in a few days that was practically built for you. You might remember Nathan from our podcast episode ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/8kuwpeo3dpboh2wep4khkhk6pm399ho6ex5ld20n35v5goek4mzogvpp0d5074wwqx56ll2g756dvv5kng996oqzdxe50g78o99vo68nm7lo64nlzrz6kdoowdrbzv992/7qh7h2u93d5v0qb9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0tMWw3ZHlCeHh3TQ== ), where he shared how his 1,500-subscriber newsletter helped him build a 7-figure agency in just 10 months. He’s one of my favorite people in this space, and we talk often, so I’ve had a front-row seat to the work he’s been doing. In 2025 alone, Nathan worked with 300+ newsletters through The Newsletter Accelerator and another 60+ inside his agency. He has hundreds of hours of call transcripts, thousands of DMs, and an unusually clear picture of where newsletter operators are getting stuck. His team uploaded all of that into ChatGPT, categorized the questions, and Nathan spent weeks building clear answers to the biggest growth, content, and monetization roadblocks. They took it all and built a 120-page playbook on how newsletters are getting to $10k+ per month without massive audiences or a ton of money. He’s teaching it live next week for Growth In Reverse readers: ​The 90-Day Newsletter Blueprint ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/8kuwpeo3dpboh2wep4khkhk6pm399ho6ex5ld20n35v5goek4mzogvpp0d5074wwqx56ll2g756dvv5kng996oqzdxe50g78o99vo68nm7lo64nlzrz6kdoowdrbzv992/e0hph0u75mo9kma7/aHR0cHM6Ly9jbGFzcy50aGVmZWVkbWVkaWEuY29tL3dvcmtzaG9wLWNoZW5lbGwtYmFzaWxpby8= ): Adding $10k/month to your newsletter business (without a huge audience or expensive ads) Nathan and his team work behind the scenes with some of the biggest newsletter brands in the world, including: * Jay Shetty * The Rundown * The Neuron * Daily Drop * Arnold’s Pump Club * Jesse Pujji * Tyler Denk (CEO of Beehiiv) And dozens more doing $1M+ annually. That gives him access to off-the-record tactics most people never see. He's always sharing interesting case studies I've yet to see before when we chat so I'm excited to have him share some of that with you. You can learn more and get the full playbook for free ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/8kuwpeo3dpboh2wep4khkhk6pm399ho6ex5ld20n35v5goek4mzogvpp0d5074wwqx56ll2g756dvv5kng996oqzdxe50g78o99vo68nm7lo64nlzrz6kdoowdrbzv992/e0hph0u75mo9kma7/aHR0cHM6Ly9jbGFzcy50aGVmZWVkbWVkaWEuY29tL3dvcmtzaG9wLWNoZW5lbGwtYmFzaWxpby8= ). This training walks through better ways to build a real, sustainable newsletter business, including: * Why sponsor-only newsletters are a bad business for most people * How to choose niches that actually scale * Content frameworks that convert * Growth strategies that work beyond the first few thousand subscribers He’ll also cover what changed in 2025 that will impact how newsletters make money in 2026.

It doesn't help that I'm pretty bad at reflecting on past accomplishments. So I'm trying to do that today, and knowing that I have to send this email out in a few hours is giving me the constraint to do that. First, to all 41,324 of you. Thank you for being here. This was our first full year with a podcast. It helped me be more thoughtful about certain topics and talk through the things I'm writing about, which only helps clarify things. The podcast is also the thing that people tell me they like most - even more than my deep dives... But deep dives take 40+ hours, and the podcast, maybe 15? I pour my heart and soul into those deep dives, and yet you like the other thing better? Okay fine. No hard feelings...kind of. :) I wanted to share some of my favorite/standout podcast episodes from the past year: * Our first YouTube video ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/5qum7890o7f7hnl2205u6h9286v44bk5o8g47xrzngvg2koldw6k2vqqr7gr9d33m8g544x29g57vvglz2005km678ogr29ek00vk5ezw94k5dz46p65l7kk37psrqmm2/9qhzhdudnxrv5liz/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tL1RsWEJTY3Vs ), which is still our most popular * But this one ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/5qum7890o7f7hnl2205u6h9286v44bk5o8g47xrzngvg2koldw6k2vqqr7gr9d33m8g544x29g57vvglz2005km678ogr29ek00vk5ezw94k5dz46p65l7kk37psrqmm2/3ohphdu3vrg5pdhp/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tL1VLaWZEUzhZ ) is about to eclipse it. * The most underrated episode ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/5qum7890o7f7hnl2205u6h9286v44bk5o8g47xrzngvg2koldw6k2vqqr7gr9d33m8g544x29g57vvglz2005km678ogr29ek00vk5ezw94k5dz46p65l7kk37psrqmm2/n2hohquveg097nc0/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tL09HMEJ4UXE5 )​ * The most eye-opening video ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/5qum7890o7f7hnl2205u6h9286v44bk5o8g47xrzngvg2koldw6k2vqqr7gr9d33m8g544x29g57vvglz2005km678ogr29ek00vk5ezw94k5dz46p65l7kk37psrqmm2/48hvh7umk98dxrbq/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tL1hxaDFMcEpq )​ * The person I think everyone should follow ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/5qum7890o7f7hnl2205u6h9286v44bk5o8g47xrzngvg2koldw6k2vqqr7gr9d33m8g544x29g57vvglz2005km678ogr29ek00vk5ezw94k5dz46p65l7kk37psrqmm2/wnh2h6uq84620qal/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tL21pbWplRFh2 ). * I was surprised this episode ( https://click.kit-mail6.com/5qum7890o7f7hnl2205u6h9286v44bk5o8g47xrzngvg2koldw6k2vqqr7gr9d33m8g544x29g57vvglz2005km678ogr29ek00vk5ezw94k5dz46p65l7kk37psrqmm2/reh8h9umn7zl6wu6/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmNrbHkuY29tLzAxdDltQzk2 ) got that many views Creating a podcast where you get to nerd out about newsletters and audience growth?

Hey, Welcome to Growth in Reverse - it's great to have you here! It can be a struggle to look at creators who have huge newsletters and get discouraged. Do the strategies they're using now only work because they already have an audience? What did they do when they were just starting? That's what I'm here for. Each week, I spend 20-25 hours reverse engineering creators with 50k+ subscribers to figure out how they grew their audience.
