Hey hey Reader,

I'm off to the great outdoors with the fam later this week. Can't wait to enjoy some peace and quiet by the lake.

I camped when I was a kid. But this is my kids' first time camping. Wish us luck 😅

But before I'm fully intoxicated—by the sound of nature of course—I wanted to share something pretty massive that newsletter operators like you should know about.

Check it out below.

Introducing: The Growth Vault

Get all of Chenell's newsletter growth secrets—before it goes up in price.

Chenell's been writing the Growth In Reverse newsletter for 2½ years.

She's spent thousands of hours reverse-engineering how over 65 newsletter creators have grown their newsletters to 50k subscribers and beond.

And now she's packaging up all she's learned—including a bunch of *new* growth levers based on her 30 Days of Growth series—into one place.

And she's calling it The Growth Vault.

Some of you have been subscribed to this newsletter since 2021 🙏 But I always wonder how many more friends might be here if I had something like The Growth Vault back then.

Chenell gave me a sneak peek into the vault recently. It's safe to say...

I wish I had this when I started my newsletter.
I can't help but wonder how much bigger my newsletter might be if I was able to use even half of these non-hacky growth strategies.

And not only will The Growth Vault share tips and strategies to grow your newsletter in a variety of ways... it offers even more.

Chenell digs into the best subscriber onboarding strategies that are working right now to:

→ get your emails into inboxes
→ get them opened
→ get replies
→ and keep new subscribers hooked

Right now, you can grab The Growth Vault for $175. But ONLY until July 5 at midnight ET.

BONUS: if you've been thinking about joining our private GIR Pro newsletter community , now is the time:
​→ The Growth Vault is included with your annual GIR Pro membership.

PS: The Growth Vault isn't a static document. It's not a lame PDF. And it's not a boring Airtable database. It's a full-fledged, standalone site that will be constantly updated with new growth levers and anything else Chenell digs up that's Vault-worthy. It's dynamic and
