How A Newsletter Became A Must-Read For Creators In 6 Months

This is a special “Flip the Script” episode! Instead of answering a guest’s questions, host Josh Spector brings on an expert he wants to learn from and asks them three questions. 

Today’s guest is Chenell Basilio. Chenell runs the Growth In Reverse newsletter, where she reverse engineers how top creators grew their newsletter to 50,000 plus subscribers. Each week, she spends around 25 hours researching a creator and writes a deep dive, sharing some of the growth strategies they've used. You can also find her on Twitter @chenellco, talking about newsletters and building an audience.

Here are some of the most valuable moments in our conversation:

00:00 - Introduction
13:26 - The Unseen Growth Tactic That Drives Huge Newsletters
27:35 - What To Post On Social BEFORE You Publish Your Next Newsletter
