Growing a travel newsletter from 0 to 500K subscribers in 10 months

Hey All!

My wife and I had our baby about 2 weeks ago and while on paternity leave I've been doing a ton of writing.

Back in 2017, I grew an email travel series from 0 to 500K email subscribers in 10 months.

I documented the top 4 growth tactics in a long-form email that I sent out to folks on my newsletter list.

If you want me to send you it, feel free to add your info here (https://chasedimond.typeform.com/to/ZyrXzF) so I can send it on over. Drop a comment when you've subscribed so I can make sure you receive it.

      Typeform is great! Let me know your thoughts when you read the guide.

        This is a really great recap of your email campaign and lead building process.

        I'm just getting started with cold emails but not getting the best adoption rate. I have a little bit of tech experience so I'm able to use my own mail server to handle the volume.

        I really like your ideas about curating emails, especially through Facebook groups - I'll have to check that out.

        I subscribed. The email was good. My issue is what group to target. While I can help small business it seems those in the financial world want to organically engage with me.

    Hey Chase, I partly work in travel, so this could be useful for me! I just have not received the email yet.

    1. 1

      Have you received it now?!

    Form sent! I'm researching about newsletter growth for a project my husband launched so so this came in perfect timing.

    1. 1

      Amazing timing! Let me know your thoughts on what I put together. Thank you!

        Hi Chase, just read your email, thanks for all the insightful information. I'm a beginner and just started learning about growth - so baby steps over here - but your email gave me a few ideas. Thanks! And I also replied on Twitter.

        1. 1

          Thank you so much for the feedback! Really appreciate this!

    Sounds cool! You have my email 💯

      Thank you! After you get and read the guide, let me know your thoughts!

        That was helpful as an overview! I think you can write more depth on all of the subsections. I liked the exact subject lines for cold emails.

        You should start a substack newsletter and explore each of the section in depth!

        1. 1

          Yeah 100% agree.

          Can you share more on your substack mention? I’m very familiar with the platform but curious your thoughts around what people would pay for and how much they’d pay? I hadn’t considered that so I’m super curious. Thanks!
