Idea behind the membership
I’ve spent the past decade teaching tens of thousands of people how to use Google Sheets and Apps Script to improve their businesses or further their careers. I’ve published over 220 free tutorials on this site, 320 free newsletters, and 3 free online courses.
But when I sat down earlier this year to create a new course, 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.
The idea of a membership has been floating around in my head for years.
And I now believe it’s the best way to solve the pain points of online courses and get the best content to you in a sustainable way.
I’m taking everything I’ve learned over the past 10 years of content creation and putting it into this new membership.
You’ll receive content in a members-only weekly newsletter with tutorials, templates, formula challenges, and more. In 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 in real time. Plus, I can more easily incorporate your questions and feedback, ensuring the content stays relevant.
Be part of something special
And there’s another reason why now is the time to bring Sheets Insiders to life.
Some readers who have enjoyed my content for years have asked how they can support me if they don’t want to consume a long video course.
For years, I didn’t really have a great answer.
Now, through this membership, readers who feel they benefit from my teachings have a way to contribute. Those contributions will allow me to continue doing this educational work, which has been the most fulfilling of my career.
This community has grown tremendously over the last few years. So even though this membership represents a whole year of resources, I’m proud to offer it for around the same cost as one of my courses. My bet is that if a lot of you pitch in at a low cost, I’ll be able to make a living with this new, more innovative format, so we all win.

FAQs
What will happen to my existing courses?
Nothing is changing with any existing courses you have bought from me. You will still have access 24/7. The courses are still available and are not part of the membership. The membership content is new and distinct from the courses.
What’s the difference between this membership and the existing courses?
The courses are static assets focussed on a particular topic, e.g. pivot tables.
This new membership content will be delivered weekly. That means it’ll be far more dynamic than the courses. You’ll learn about new features soon after they’re launched so it’ll be the best way to stay up-to-date with the latest and greatest.
