DENIZENS OF THE SHEETS UNIVERSE:
I’m launching something special.
I’ve been thinking about it for over a year.
And today I’m excited to invite you to join the Sheets Insiders membership program.
In this post, I want to explain what Sheets Insiders is and why I’m launching a membership program.

What Does Sheets Insiders Cost?
Sheets Insiders will cost $199/yr.
During this launch week, Sheets Insiders will be available for $149 for the first year.
Why Sheets Insiders?
I published my first Google Sheets tutorial 10 years ago, in October 2014. Since then, I’ve written over 250 tutorials or 300,000 words and published them all for free on this site.
And since April 2017, I’ve been publishing my free, weekly Google Sheets Tips newsletter. Each week I share a tutorial and the latest news from the Sheets world. In the intervening 6 years, I’ve sent it every week (except holidays) and we’re now over 300 editions and 55,000 readers.
I’ve also launched 3 free online courses with over 70,000 students and ran a popular online Google Sheets conference with thousands of attendees.
We live in an amazing age where it’s possible for an individual contributor to reach a global audience with their ideas. I’m incredibly fortunate to be in that position.
Suffice to say, teaching has been the most fulfilling work of my career and I’m proud of what I’ve achieved.
I want to continue doing this for the next five years, then the next five after that.
This membership is a way you can support me.
So if you enjoy my work and want to see more of it, please consider becoming a Sheets Insiders Member.
Why A Membership Program Instead Of A Course?
For years I’ve created in-depth online courses, teaching folks how to use Google Sheets to analyze their data.
But when I sat down to create another new course earlier this year, I realized a few fundamental truths:
- Most online courses aren’t completed, so folks miss out on amazing content. I’ve heard from many of you, with busy work and family lives, how difficult it is to find the time to work though 50+ videos. It feels overwhelming. This new format is much more digestible so that you’ll learn something new and actionable each week.
- Technology, particularly AI, advances so quickly that courses that take months to create are out–of-date before they’re published. This membership format ensures that you’re getting new material, as soon as it’s readily available.
- My core mission is to help as many folks as possible with Google Sheets, data analysis, and automation. Over time, the courses have become increasingly specialized, which appeal to a smaller and smaller audience. This new format is much more flexible, so we can cover more topics that are relevant to you.
For these reasons, I set out to find a different model to best serve you. One that would deliver fresh content in a more timely and manageable way.
A business model that will be sustainable for me in the long run.
So I’m taking everything I’ve learned over the past 10 years of content creation and putting it to use in this new membership.
You’ll receive content in a weekly newsletter with exclusive, new resources. It’s a format that you can digest and implement quickly.
These weekly, discrete units of content will let me move quickly, jumping on new features and techniques to bring the latest ideas to you. Plus, I can more easily incorporate your feedback and suggestions, ensuring the content stays relevant.
Everything from the membership program will be included in the archive, which will become increasingly valuable over time.
Thank you for reading and supporting my work.
Much love Sheets amigos,
Ben ❤️
