Hey Reader!

Last year I wrote about how important it is for newsletter writers to "share our sh*t"!

See...

Every year my little hometown hosts a 10k race. And, every year, I'm flabbergasted by the turnout.

Only a tiny percentage of our town shows up! And not because people don't want to participate.

Because they don't know it exists!

The race organizers did a poor job promoting it. They were most definitely not "sharing their shit".

But this year was different.

Several runners told me they signed up for the race because...

*🥁 drumroll*

... they literally saw a street sign promoting the race.

And guess what? This year's race had the largest turnout ever!

That is what happens when you promote yourself. When you actually share your sh*t.

Chenell published a solo edition of our podcast talking about this exact problem: The Hidden Genius.

Don't be like my local 10k race. Don't make life harder on yourself by not sharing your work. You make good work. The world needs good work.

Stop being a hidden genius. Listen now >>​

Here's what's percolating in today's edition:

→ 30 days of expert newsletter growth tips (for free)
→ Delete subscribers to make more money
→ How a daily newsletter doubled paid subs by doing one thing
→ 50M impressions into $240K/month (3 ways he goes viral)
→ The type of person Substack is for—and who it's not for.

Let's get into it ��

30 Days.
​30 Ways To Build Your Newsletter.

It's baaa-aaack.

Last year my good friend Chenell launched the 30 Days of Growth "pop-up" newsletter.

30 creators.
30 days.
30 growth + optimization tips.
100% free.

Each daily edition shared one proven tactic for growing your email list.

Every day in your inbox, you got an expert's strategy, why it works, their results, and exactly how to do it yourself.

A few examples from the first round:

• A Google Doc strategy that drove 18,000+ subscribers
• A lead magnet that pulled in 14,337 subscribers in 8 months
• A single social post that generated 500+ new subscribers
• A welcome email tweak that boosted engagement by 40%

Pretty awesome right?

Well, Chenell is launching Round 2—and it's launching April 20th (Monday)!

If you're trying to grow your newsletter or email list, this is 30 days of free, actionable ideas from people who've actually done it.

PS - I didn't publish a newsletter last week. Or a LinkedIn post. I was doing something much cooler 😎 👉 enjoying the warm weather, beaches, and margaritas on a Mexican vacay with my family. It was awesome. 7 days of bliss. Here are a few shots from our trip!
