Hello. Welcome back to the Growth in Reverse podcast. This is a special audio edition of the show. It's going to be a short one because this is just purely a special announcement that I wanted to share with podcast listeners first, if you are new here, you might want to go check out a different episode because this is kind of a little bit different. But for those of you who have been around for a bit, let's just jump into it. I am putting together a 30 day pop up newsletter called, called 30 Days of Growth where I'm going to be sharing one tactical way you can either grow or optimize your email list every day for 30 days. And all of these come from 30 different creators. Now this is a little bit of an ambitious project that I'm putting together. I decided to do this about two weeks ago and here we are less than a week from launch. While I'm recording this, this launches on April 23rd, which is a Wednesday. And you can sign up for this at 30daysofgrowth co. Now, if you are on the Growth in Reverse newsletter, the regular one, you do not automatically get added to this. I am trying to avoid sending people a daily email when they were expecting a weekly one. So this is going to be an opt in only thing. You can either go to 30daysofgrowth co or check out the most recent edition of the newsletter. And I have links and everything you need to know in there so you can sign up as well. So like I said, every day for 30 days you're going to get one tactical tip on how to grow or optimize your newsletter. These are things that I think you can implement within less than 24 hours. Honestly, some of them are part of a grander strategy. However, most of these things can be implemented very, very fast and you can start seeing results almost immediately. We have people like Jay Clouse, Amanda Goetz, Justin Moore, Ali Richards, all sharing tips on how to more effectively grow your newsletter and email us. So now I think the cool part about this is that I'm setting this up kind of like a giveaway. So once you sign up, you're automatically entered to win, but if you do refer people, you actually have more entries to win. Now some of the prizes that we've confirmed already are some year long accounts to send you, which is a tool that I am obsessed with to gather social proof. Uh, we also have a extended discount for Kit, which is a great email provider if you're not already using them. Uh, I do have some newsletter audits getting given out as well as some coaching calls, but I am also reaching out to some other folks to kind of make this more exciting. So stay tuned for some more releases of some of those giveaways. But if you do refer one person, you actually get access to the private podcast feed that goes along with this 30 days of growth. So I'm going to be recording a five to ten minute episode for each one of these. It's a lot of my voice and I don't know why you would want to listen to that. However, if you do and you enjoy an audio version as well as a written, you can go ahead and sign up there and just refer one person and you'll get automatic access to that. Now, this all started because in the Growth and Reverse Pro community, we're actually doing a challenge around cross promotions and collaborations, and I just felt like I didn't have enough time and results to give. So if you're familiar with a cross promotion, it's essentially like I will share someone's newsletter in my newsletter and they share my email list with their audience. And so you kind of do that once a week. And since the challenge is only 45 days long, I felt like I only was going to get four or five of those opportunities and I really wanted to provide the community with some more data, just showcase that audience size isn't everything, and kind of give them some more, I don't know, robust analytics of, like, what's working, how to do these better and that kind of thing. I figured what better way to do this than reach out to 30 creators and set up a daily newsletter instead of just doing cross promotions in my weekly one. So that is the whole point of this. And it's honestly, it's morphed into something that I'm actually more excited about, just giving the content to people. Because, yes, it started out as just 30 collaborations, but now I'm realizing that this is kind of like a living, breathing project that I know is going to help so many people just have better email lists, newsletters, that kind of thing. So I am super pumped to get this out into your hands. Like I said, this podcast episode is probably going to disappear in a few days, so if you don't see it next week, that's why. So welcome. And you found the hidden gem that will not live on forever. So like I said, you can Sign up at 30 Days of Growth Co or click the link in any recent Growth in Reverse newsletter. And yeah, you're going to start getting these awesome tips for free every day for 30 days. And if daily is too much. That's okay. I'm going to have a link at the bottom of each issue of this and you can say, hey, I kind of just want to get the weekly roundup. That's totally fine, too. I'm excited. Can't wait to get this into your hands and get your feedback on it. All right, well, that's it for this episode. I hope you enjoyed the 30 days of growth. Cannot wait to share the results and put out kind of an experiment post of how this went, so would love to have you along for the ride if you're into it. Let's dive into 30 days of growth.
