I'm 💯% guilty of this
A lot of newsletters lose subscribers before they even get started
It happens on the landing page
In the welcome email
Even in the way we handle referrals and recommendations.
But with a few small changes, we can turn that sinking ship around (is... that the right metaphor?)

RIP Ozzman.
My journey learning and playing guitar would have been so much less fun without Iron Man, Paranoid, and Crazy Train.

I am losing in the fight to steer people away from Substack. I underestimated how little moral compass people actually have.
But if more of my base goes over to Substack, I'm gonna pivot, stop doing what I'm doing and go do something else. I don't want to help people build there. Nightmare shit.

Chenell published 30 newsletter editions in 30 Days.
She called it 30 Days of Growth.
That's a lot for someone who typically just publishes once a week.
So… was it worth it?
We did a full breakdown on the @growthinreverse.com podcast.
Here’s what we cover—and what she’d never do again 🧵

I had a good problem with a bad result:
I'd gained 1,700+ subscribers 100% passively.
But my metrics were taking a beating. Here's what happened.

My Maranta, Lu, has some beautiful blossoms. She's putting out more and more every spring!
Funny story:
First year I got her I thought she died in winter 💀.
Turns out it she'd just gone dormant and does it every year 😊

30 Days of Growth already has 2,600+ signups… but there’s a problem.
We’re leaving a lot on the table. Here’s how we’re fixing it.
Chenell’s “pop-up” newsletter 30 Days of Growth hit 2.6k subscribers in 14 days.
But it could have been even more successful.

Signing up for a "newsletter" that's actually a sales promo sequence in disguise.

Everything's better with music.
So I started adding playlists to my newsletter.
I saw a newsletter friend doing this back in like... 2022? And I loved the idea.
Can't believe it took this long to implement.
