I coached Ali Abdaal on building a membership.
Welcome to a bonus episode of Creator Science. A couple of months ago, I got a direct message on Twitter from Ali Abdaal. He said he loved what I was doing with The Lab, my membership community, and he had heard great things about the experience.
He was in the early stages of building his own membership community, coincidentally called Productivity Lab, and he wanted to ask me some questions. He suggested that we record the episode as a coaching call for his podcast Deep Dive, and I thought it was a great idea. So we spoke for a little bit over an hour, and I helped him think through how he was designing this new membership.

Breaking down my $60,723 product launch
Earlier this month, I launched a brand new product called CreatorHQ. The way I’ve come to describe CreatorHQ is a complete operating system for creators – it’s literally the system I’ve built for myself in Notion to run the entire Creator Science business.
I use CreatorHQ every day. It houses all my goals, projects, tasks, content, CRM, sponsorship campaigns – everything! This episode was prepared in CreatorHQ. It’s the glue that keeps my business together and keeps the trains running. And I knew if I made it available for other creators, it’d help you too.
So I launched this on April 11 and had some bonuses available for those who purchased before April 15. It was my first true LAUNCH of something, and I put a lot of time and effort into it. Between April 11 and April 15, CreatorHQ generated $60,723.
In this episode you'll learn
About my launch strategy
The good things I'd do again
The bad things I'd do differently
And a few things that I'm still indifferent about

[GREATEST HITS] #147: Chenell Basilio – How the best newsletter operators grow to 50K+ subscribers
Chenell is the writer of Growth In Reverse, a weekly newsletter where she reverse engineers how a top creator grew from 0 to 50k+ subscribers.
Chenell has done deep dives on Justin Welsh, Codie Sanchez, Lenny Rachitsky, Harry Dry, and many more.
I read it every week and think it’s incredibly well-done. The premise is super clear, and as a result, Chenell has seen her OWN newsletter grow very quickly – nearing 10,000 subscribers in just about four months.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The common patterns between these newsletter operators
Some of the most effective growth tactics she’s uncovered
And what’s working for HER right now

Customer Reviews
Brilliant creator podcast
Brilliant podcast for creators starting or growing. Jay is a fantastic host,I enjoy his solo deep dives (for his person experiences) and interviews with a variety of experts in the creation space. Filled with strategies, mindset shifts and actionable advice, without making you feel like it’s overwhelming.
Full of substance
Genuinely enjoyable conversations that are full of substance. I appreciate the scope and depth of inquiry around current practices that are effective for creators.
Jays Content is Power
I always come to one of Jays episodes when I’m trying to improve something or learn something new in my creative journey. I definitely still haven’t king way to go but, wouldn’t even have made it this far without Jays content that’s for sure! Thanks Jay!
