A guide you use, not a file you forget
Newsletter Growth Course runs as a web app in our member area. Read a chapter, use the tools, tick off the action, and pick up exactly where you left off.
7 guided chapters
Short, step-by-step chapters with a progress bar that shows what you have read and what comes next.
Subscriber Growth Tracker
Log each week's new subscribers, unsubscribes, cleaned addresses (bounced or removed after re-engagement) and the total at the end of the week from your platform. Enter your starting total above. The summary shows net growth, average weekly net, the unsubscribe rate per week and flags any week where your recorded total does not match the growth math. The example rows are illustrative; replace them with your own numbers.
Editorial Planner
Plan upcoming issues in send order with a date, format (deep dive, how-to, roundup, mailbag, case study, short note), main topic, sponsor (or none) and status (idea, drafting, scheduled, sent). The summary shows your format mix, warns when one format is more than half of your issues, counts sponsored issues and names the next unsent issue.
Growth Experiment Log
Log each growth experiment with its channel (swap, referral, guest issue, sign-up page, social, forum), start date, subscribers gained, hours spent and your keep/stop decision. Set the minimum subscribers per hour you consider worth your time. The summary compares channels by subscribers per hour, names the best channel and lists experiments still waiting for a decision. The example rows are illustrative.
Action Roadmap
One concrete action per chapter, collected in a checklist so you always know the next thing to do in your kitchen.
