This special edition of the Growth In Reverse podcast is the full live talk I gave at the Newsletter Marketing Summit in Austin TX this past February.

Over the past two years, I’ve studied the growth of the most successful newsletters in the world—those who’ve hit 50,000+ subscribers—and I noticed something interesting.

There's one thing every single one of them has in common. It's not some sexy growth hack or a secret referral program. It’s something way more powerful and often overlooked.

In this episode, I walk you through that key insight, plus I break down the proven tactics that top creators are using today to grow their lists without relying on social media.


This talk might just change how you think about newsletter growth entirely.
