What happens when an established newsletter hits a growth plateau?
And can anything be done to revive it?
Chenell & Dylan sit down with Ben Collins of BenLCollins.com and his Google Sheets Tips newsletter.
When Chenell researched & wrote her GIR Deep Dive on Ben last year, all appeared to be going well for Ben and his Google Sheets Tips newsletter. But when we invited Ben to join us on the podcast, he was apprehensive: "Are you sure you want me to come on? Growth has been very flat." So we took this as an opportunity to flex our growth strategy muscles and provide Ben with some newsletter growth coaching.
