Great deep dives into newsletters

I’ve been a follower of Chenell’s email newsletter, and the podcast expands on her newsletter with some useful examples and actionable ideas people can apply to their newsletter.

I learn something new every episode

Every episode gives me something actionable to take back and apply to my own newsletter!! Lots of tactical ideas and strategy to help me set myself up both in short and long term. And it’s even entertaining!

Real Research & Actual Analysis!

I’m really glad I discovered Growth in Reverse! The newsletter provides actual analysis of other successful newsletters broken down into specific strategies and tactics utilized. It provides a fantastic level of research that you don’t often see - let alone for free! The podcast is a great add-on and the conversation between Chenell and Dylan is again, actual critical thinking and discussion of key topics and issues around newsletter strategies. Very useful information, strategic and tactical, around newsletter success and how to drive growth.

I love both newsletter and podcast

As a newsletter creator, there’s no better way to learn and get inspired than by looking at what other creators are doing. GIR does a great job of uncovering all the strategies and tactics they use to grow their businesses. I love it.

Best podcast about newsletters 🔥🎧🔥

I’ve been podcasting since 2015 and writing weekly newsletters since 2018 and I have to say that Growth In Reverse is my favorite podcast about newsletters! -Adam Schaeuble Host of Podcasting Business School 🔥🎧🔥

Practical and down to earth

What I dig about this podcast is the practical advice on building audiences without the typical marketing fluff. Chenell and Dylan offer strategies and also share their own publishing journeys with honesty. Their down-to-earth style makes technical topics accessible, and I feel like I’m learning from experienced friends rather than distant experts.

There’s no better podcast for newsletters

I’ve paid for a lot of paid resources about newsletter growth. This podcast (and the Growth in Reverse Newsletter) has been far more valuable than any of those paid resources. And this one is free :)

Best for learning how to grow a newsletter

Chenell and Dylan are so freaking good with newsletters. Not only have they built great newsletters themselves, but their research on other’s newsletters is second to none. Valuable tips and strategies for growing newsletters that aren’t just cliche advice!

A "Must Listen" for newsletter operators

I wish I discovered it BEFORE I started my newsletter. Would’ve avoided a lot of newbie mistakes. Very engaging content, right to the point.

Essential for Newsletter Newbies

I’m just starting my newsletter, and Growth in Reverse has been a game-changer. Chenell breaks down the strategies of successful newsletter creators in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you’re new to this space. Highly recommend!

Valuable Tactical Advice

I’ve been a subscriber of Chenell’s newsletter for a while, and it’s always a must-read. It’s clear she spends a ton of time researching the creators she deep dives on, and we’re the beneficiary of this seriously good advice. So when I heard she and Dylan were doing a podcast, I had to listen. I usually do while I drive around town to appointments, and I’m ALWAYS stopping it to recite notes into my iPhone. Sometimes makes for a disjointed listen, but that’s OK ‘cause I’m getting a ton out of it! 😁

I love how Growth in Reverse breaks down the success of top creators in a way that’s actually useful. The deep dives are packed with actionable insights, not just surface-level advice. It’s clear a ton of research goes into each episode, and the takeaways always feel relevant. Highly recommend!

The best newsletter podcast

I’ve been following Channel and Dylan for some time now. I found Channell through her newsletter and Dylan through his YouTube videos with Sparkloop. They’ve both been tremendously helpful in getting my newsletter off of the ground. I had been waiting for podcast like theirs to pop up and now love to tune in every week for tactical tips on growing!

BTS Growth Strategies

I’ve been following Chenell for a while and love that I can listen to the podcast now when I’m not able to sit down and read the deep dives- driving, working out, etc! The episodes are packed with valuable tips, actionable strategies, and honest advice on growing newsletters. I love the behind-the-scenes look at how others have built their audiences. Really practical stuff you can’t find anywhere else. Highly recommend!
