We haven't tested a lot of video yet, just because I think in terms of really, I guess, expediting the process of getting them converted. The hypothesis is that just that the image, an image asset will work best. And if you're trying to capture somebody's attention on Twitter, what they're used to doing is reading and reacting to what they're reading whether it's ad copy or a tweet.
Welcome back to another episode of the Send & Grow podcast. This week, SparkLoop cofounder Louis Nicholls sits down with Ryan Carr of the Blakely Digital: an agency dedicated to helping newsletter operators grow their audience & revenue.

In this episode, Louis & Ryan discuss…
- 3 common traits of newsletters creating "high-quality content"
- The first—and most important—question Ryan asks new growth clients
- The best channels to test the waters with paid growth
- What's working right now for paid growth on Twitter
- ...and much more!
