Creator Science Jay Clouse

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

Richard van der Blom is the founder of Just Connecting, a social selling and LinkedIn training consultancy based in the Netherlands. And with nearly 200,000 followers on LinkedIn, he's one of the most respected voices on the platform.
Richard was really early to LinkedIn. And as his own reach grew, he started getting a lot of questions about how to best use the platform.
5 years ago, Richard started creating an annual LinkedIn algorithm insights research report. This thing is a gold mine of data driven observations about how different aspects of LinkedIn are working and even how they are trending compared to the year before.
In this episode you'll learn

Why LinkedIn reach may be down

What formats are most effective right now

How to use LinkedIn as a lead generation

And you'll get a feature by feature breakdown of how Richard himself uses LinkedIn

Michael Stelzner is the founder of Social Media Examiner and the man behind Social Media Marketing World, the industry's largest conference.
He takes a very different approach to events. Before talking with Michael, I was told that events are not profitable from ticket sales, that you had to design events to make money during the event itself by selling products or bringing in sponsors.
But he disagrees.
In this episode you'll learn

The nitty gritty of the economics behind events

Where things get expensive

How to save money

And how to make your event feel more like a fine dining experience than a marketplace

For this audio episode, we are going to dive into questions that I got from the lab, from Instagram, from LinkedIn, Twitter, and threads.
Now this is actually a part 2. The first half of these questions I recorded in video format with my producer, Connor. We took a lot of the questions from YouTube and about YouTube and we prioritize those for a video episode on the channel.
But before we get into that, I have a couple of things that I want to tell you. Thing #1, if you are not already subscribed to the Creator Science newsletter, please do so. You will like it. Almost 60,000 creators subscribed to it already.
Thing #2, I've spent the last couple of months building a new product called Creator HQ. And this is a templatized version of my personal Notion setup that is how we run the entire creator science business. It's what we use for task management, content preparation, content publishing, content repurposing, and much more.
