They cover what worked, what flopped, why Chenell wishes she'd done opt-ins instead of opt-outs, how 2,086 new subscribers came in (beating last year's 1,757), and which tips from the series they found most compelling — from AI-powered subject line analysis to a 5x landing page conversion boost from changing one button. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why Chenell decided to run 30 Days of Growth for a second time The biggest mistake they made with subscriber onboarding this year Why daily newsletters can quietly hurt engagement and deliverability The surprising ROI of referral incentives and private podcast feeds Why collaborations create long-term relationship leverage beyond subscriber growth The operational reality of coordinating 30 creators in 30 days Whether 30 Days of Growth will return again next year LINKS MENTIONED: 30DaysofGrowth.co https://helloaudio.fm/ The Growth Vault The GIR Pro Community FOLLOW ON SOCIAL Chenell : Twitter | LinkedIn Dylan : LinkedIn | Substack | Instagram OUR NEWSLETTERS growthinreverse.com growthcurrency.net Subscribe & Leave a Review: Love what you’re hearing?
