Episode notes
How 30 Days Of Growth Was Born
- Chenell built 30 Days of Growth as a pop-up to scale cross-promo testing and content.
- She ran 30 cross promotions in 30 days so each day featured a different creator’s tactic and newsletter recommendation.
Real Results From The First Run
- The first edition grew from 1,440 to over 3,700 signups with ~2,000 new subscribers in 30 days.
- Chenell used Viral Loops referrals and a private podcast incentive that drove 356 referral-based subscribers.
Referral Incentive Produced Viral Chains
- A referral incentive (private podcast feed) got 102 people to refer and produced viral chains.
- One chain turned a single share into 36 subscribers when person B shared to 15 people and one of them referred 21 more.
