I suspect that I might benefit more from the next book in the series or taking the actual course. That said, it's not because the information presented isn't valuable, timely, or something that any author (traditional or self-published) shouldn't keep in mind to optimize and grow their newsletter. It's just that at a high level, most things in play are established best practices.
That said, there are some actionable tips and tricks as well as specifics that really help to reinforce the concepts and provide clarity. And they're delivered in a conversational and approachable tone that I wish more of the non-fiction/how-to books I read adopted. It's like sitting down with a trusted friend to learn about something they know.
I don't regret the purchase at all. In fact, on the Kindle "What's Next" screen, I picked up the next book the moment I finished this one. If you're new to newsletters (or have one but don't understand why it isn't working), this book is a great place to start figuring out your foundation and creating a plan that should lead to success. If you're looking to min-max an already-successful newsletter, maybe not so much.
