This is Growth Currency⚡ #53 — your weekly dose of Creator Imposter Syndrome
A special welcome to the 27 newest members of the Growth Currency⚡ newsletter community! Welcome Kristen, Fabio, Mark, Thomas, Phillip, Aaron, and Michael—to name a few :)
Thank you for giving me a little bit of space in you inbox. 🙏
GROWTH INSIGHTS | I asked. You answered.
Last you heard from me, I was publishing my 52nd straight weekly edition of this newsletter. I was feeling a little burnt out and needed some time away.
I also asked you for one favor: to fill out a subscriber survey—and 40 of you beautiful people did ♥
Thank you so much if you were one of the 40. Sincerely. I got a lot of clarity around topics you're interested in:
So, I'll be sharing more links to support your growth currency on...
✅ Audience building (on any platform)
✅ Email Newsletters
✅ Content Marketing & Promotion
✅ Monetization
✅ Twitter growth
✅ Writing Skills
I can jive with that 💪 These answers are really helpful with direction and focus. So thank you again.
But the proverbial cherry on top to this survey? The kind words YOU shared when asked "If Growth Currency stopped publishing, the thing I'd miss the most is..."
I'm going to keep the survey open for another week or so in case you missed it last time :) No pressure to fill it out.

Hey you made it to the end — that means a lot. Thanks for reading.
Another thing we made it to the end of: January.
So January is over. Thank god. January is notoriously the worst.
It's my birthday month, so I'm conflicted admitting my true feelings for it. But this year, January began with an epic snowstorm and sub-zero temps, a delayed back-to-school start (thanks Omicron), and to top it all off.... I got COVID—on my birthday. Thankfully my case was relatively mild, as were the rest of family's.
So yeah. January can kick rocks. I'm going to petition we strike it from the calendar next year. Which also means I will remain in my 30s a little longer 😁
