After Driving 5M+ Subscribers and $10M+ In Info Product Sales, I’m Revealing How To Supercharge Your Newsletter Growth In 32 Days

Hey — Matt McGarry here.

If you’re a media founder, newsletter operator, or creator — this might be the most important piece of advice you’ll ever receive:

Stop renting your audience. Learn how to become the landlord.

If you’re creating content on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or any other social platform – you’re building your audience on rented land.

Zuck, Elon, or even a low-level employee at one of these “apps” can pull the plug on your account anytime.

You can get banned or shadow-banned even if you did nothing “wrong”. Thousands of accounts are removed by accident every day.

However, what’s more likely to hurt you is the inevitable algorithm change.

Algorithm changes in the 2010s and 2020s have killed more businesses than any recession.

Look at what happened to BuzzFeed.

One simple algorithm update can kill your reach.

Less reach means less traffic, fewer subscribers, and way fewer customers.

I’ve seen it happen. I’ve talked with dozens of founders who have more followers than ever – but their content on social media reaches fewer people than ever before.

This is one of the many reasons to stop building your audience on rented land.

That said…

Even if a ban or algorithm change hasn’t happened to you yet — you have to stay on the content treadmill to keep reaching the audience you’ve “built” on these platforms.

Posting on social media 1-3x per day is hard – and lame.

Constant posting creates more noise and distracts you from actually growing your business.

Like’s ain’t cash.

But what if I told you there’s a platform you can use to own your audience?

A platform where algorithms can’t get in the way of your message and your audience…

A platform that’s been around for over 43 years – has 4.26 billion users – and is still growing by over 3% per year!

You guessed it… That platform is email.

Email newsletters are the best way to own your audience, build your influence, and grow your business.

There’s no other platform like it.

And there’s no other audience as valuable as an engaged email audience.

So how do you grow your email audience?

That is exactly what I’ve been obsessing over, studying, and doing for the last 4 years.

I started my first newsletter in 2018. I made every mistake in the book and shut it down a few months later.

In 2020 I got a job at The Hustle to lead newsletter growth. We grew to 2.5M+ subscribers and were acquired by HubSpot for $27M.

In January 2022 I was the first hire at Milk Road. We grew to 250k+ subscribers and got acquired for 7 figures in 10 months.

In May 2022 I landed Codie Sanchez as a client. She’s grown from 120,000 subscribers to 500,000+ in 14 months.

In December 2022 I landed Sahil Bloom as a client. He’s grown from 175,000 subscribers to 605,000+ in 12 months.

In 2023 my agency GrowLetter helped clients like Chartr, 1440, James Clear, The Rundown, Bankless, The Pour Over, Football Guys, and many more add 5,000,000+ newsletter subscribers.

You get the idea. The point is…

I know the strategies, tactics, and secrets that will grow your newsletter – because my team and I created and implemented them for the best newsletters.

And most importantly…

Newsletter Growth System reveals all of them.

Growth System is the product of 4 years of research, hundreds of client calls, millions in ad spend, and years of first-hand experience.

There is nothing on the market like this.

This is the most in-depth course on newsletter growth.

It’s the only course that:

Breakdowns battle-tested tactics
Gives you access to expert mentors and coaches
Has 150+ real-world examples, templates, and experiments from 7 and 8-figure+ newsletters

If you want to build an owned email audience in 2024.

If you want to escape the algorithm and the content treadmill.

If you want to scale your newsletter and sell more courses, memberships, coaching, and sponsorships.

Growth System is for you.

100% money-back guarantee

I want your Growth System investment to be 100% risk-free.

If you complete the course materials and find the course isn't for you within 30 days, I will refund 100% of your investment.

And if you find after enrolling that your schedule is busier than you thought, I will roll you forward into a future cohort with zero additional cost.

However, part of what makes Growth System work is financial accountability. If you do not engage with the course materials, this does not qualify for a refund.

I’m so excited to help you grow your newsletter in 2024!

I hope to see you on the inside soon.

Best,

— Matt McGarry, Founder & CEO at GrowLetter

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does this cost? Other courses charge upwards of $5,000 to help you grow. But our goal with Growth System is to keep it accessible while still charging enough to keep you accountable. The full price of the course is $999.
Who is this for? It’s NOT for beginners. You must have 500+ subscribers and a 40%+ open rate to enroll. This course is all about growth. If you don’t have a niche and an engaged newsletter, do not enroll. We will not cover topics like “how to find a niche” or “how to create newsletter content”.
What's the time commitment? You’ll need 2 hours to attend the 2 live sessions per week and 2-4 hours to execute the growth tactics (~4-8 per week total)
How long do I have access to the course materials? You will have access to the course materials FOREVER This includes all live sessions, video materials, templates, and swipe files.
Do I need to use a specific newsletter tool? I highly recommend beehiiv. The tutorials will be focused on beehiiv. We won’t have time to cover tech setup for other platforms. If you use another platform that’s fine. Just make sure you know it well.
Do I need a budget to invest in paid ads? No, but it’s a plus. We’re spending a week in the course on paid growth. If you want to test ads you’ll need a minimum budget of $500-$1000 for ads.
Couldn't I just do this myself with all of the free content out there? Well... you could. And I encourage you to try it. Read my 50+ free guides on newsletter growth. If that works for you, that’s great! But chances are, you've tried growth on your own before. And between the hours it would take you to aggregate all of the free stuff and the headaches you would have testing to see what works… The $999 is well worth the investment.
Can this really work for me? You might be thinking... sure this works for other people. But my situation is unique. I can assure you that over the past 4 years, I’ve helped 50+ newsletters grow. No matter your background, experience, goals, or circumstances, the Newsletter Growth System will help you.
What if I'm not tech-savvy? You're not alone. We have members of every age, background, and experience level. In the course, I’ll teach how to do all the technical setup for beehiiv newsletters. However, if you don’t use beehiiv you must know your newsletter platform well. We don’t have time to cover instructions for every ESP.
What if I can't attend the live sessions? That’s okay. We record each of them and distribute them with detailed show notes, session transcripts, chat transcripts, and everything you need.
Will this help if I already have a large newsletter? Yes, in fact, you’ll have an advantage. Many of the tactics work even better if you have a large newsletter.
How many newsletter subscribers do I need to join? Not many. I recommend you have 500+ subscribers and a 40%+ open rate before enrolling. This course is all about growth. If you don’t have newsletter good content you should work on that before you invest in growth.
Why is this page so ugly? I’m spending all my time creating amazing course curriculum. I’m not using fancy pages or marketing tactics for this course. Instead, I plan to sell the 100 spots to people who are already familiar with my work and don’t need a well-designed sales page or funnel to buy from me.
What if I have more questions? Send me an email: [email protected] I’ll get back to you soon.
