🕵️‍♂️ The simplest newsletter referral idea

Hey thieves!

Yesterday, I talked about some challenges I’m facing with this newsletter on X. Two reasons why:

That said, I like the direction this is going. More news soon!

Let’s dive into this week’s content. But first, a word from our sponsor…

Quit sending emails like a dinosaur.

It’s the year 2024 and all the top newsletters are using beehiiv.

beehiiv was created by the same early Morning Brew employees who scaled their daily email to over 4 million subscribers. And now every newsletter on beehiiv has access to the same tools and winning formula.

So what exactly does beehiiv offer?

Stolen Tactics

#1 - Are LinkedIn polls back?

A few years back, polls were all the rage on LinkedIn. The algorithm was pushing them HARD, and people were clicking on them like there was no tomorrow.

That time passed…or so we thought.

It seems like polls are back if we listen to Richard van der Blom’s 2024 algorithm report.

Data to prove it (stolen from Jay Clouse) 👇

Why polls though?

Seems like the algorithm is pushing hard on them again. Polls are easy to engage; people often click on them with no second thought.

That signals to the algorithm that this post is interesting, so it gets pushed even more.

If you are interested in these types of content trends, the time is now before they become saturated again.

#2 - How to prepare for your podcast interviews

This is how Shaan Puri from My First Million prepares his interviews 👇

What stood out to me:

Social media clips are a great way to get more attention to your podcast.

Thinking about those BEFORE vs waiting for your guest to maybe drop a gold nugget is a game-changer.

I'm definitely stealing it for my pod.

#3 - The simplest newsletter referral idea (that works)

As I continued to search for newsletter referral ideas to set up my own system, I came across Chenell’s from Growth in Reverse.

Her system is super simple 👇

The result is a section like this 👇

60 new subs in one week, and all it takes for her is to mention the newsletters in her emails.

Simple, but it works.
