You're invited: The Newsletter Accelerator

👋 Hi friends -

Welcome to The Newsletter Growth Memo. Twice a month, I share short reflections with my newsletter clients + other operators.

Zero formality, ads, or affiliate links - just a guy sharing learnings from working with media operators doing $25k-$2M+ / month with newsletters.

New reader highlights: Nicole, Senior Manager of Media Ops @ Sherwood News | Bridget, Director of Growth @ Smartasset | Imogen, SVP Sales @ Informa TechTarget

Yesterday, beehiiv and I announced The Newsletter Accelerator to a group of 350 people.

A 5-week digital intensive for creators, newsletter operators, and media companies.

And today I’m telling everyone (you’ll want to tap/click to read this):

Every major media company is sending at least 1 team member:

The Hustle, Dotdash Meredith, Forbes, Industry Dive, 1440, and ~43 others, representing ~100M newsletter subscribers (not a typo).

Why is this interesting to people already doing $10M-100M+ with newsletters?

The final week is designed specifically for advanced operators.

For example, cohort LTV analysis for paid growth that I learned at BCG & running a $15M/yr subscription app portfolio that hasn’t made its way to many media teams.

Workweek, Industry Dive, and 1440 will be joining to help teach and/or do fireside chats.

Applications close Monday, June 30th, at 5pm EST.

We have ~86 spots left for folks.

Learn more / apply here.

(if you run a large media co and want to join, just reply directly to this email and we’ll get you sorted).

Oh, also, it’s free… I thought that’d be a fun/insane thing to do.

That’s the letter.

P.S. I want to thank the Industry Dive, 1440, and Workweek teams for having their heads of growth/sponsorship come and either teach or do fireside chats during the accelerator.

Sean, Imogen, Robin, Tim, Erika, Elizabeth, Ali, Amanda, Adam, Jay - I love learning from all of you and feel lucky to have you reading this little newsletter of mine.
