Episode notes

The day before your newsletter goes out, you should be posting about what's in that newsletter. Even for my small 13,000 person Twitter following, it's giving me probably 100 subscribers a week. People would pay one to two grand to get that in L.S. It's pretty awesome that you're getting that organically.

What’s the best way to build your email list without the help of paid advertising?

Like any good Christopher Nolan plot twist, Chenell Basilio, writer of the “Growth in Reverse” newsletter, thinks moving backward through time is the most effective strategy to grow your audience.

She sits down to chat with Daniel about the art of reverse engineering, her top takeaways for organically growing a newsletter audience, and why you really need to stop planning and just start doing when it comes to marketing.
