Giveaway Offer and Flash Sale!
I’ve been rather kind to myself in recent weeks, trying not looking at my subscriber count, attempting to focus on other things instead (writing, applying, pitching—lots of pitching).
However, I did look today, mostly because I had to import a couple of email addresses from elsewhere, so I had no choice, and I noticed I’m nearing 1500 free subscribers.
(I also noticed I’ve lost a couple of paying subs, but that is, as they say, the way.)
1500 is a ridiculous number and I am absolutely delighted so many of you choose to receive my letters. For context, I had 1135 at the start of the 2024, and 658 exactly one year ago. (If you are interested in more numbers and growth details, I shared a post about this on my 4th anniversary of sending a letter, last November, available here.)
As a thank you, I decided it might be fun to run a giveaway of sorts, for both new subscribers and all the rest of you.
Whoever is the 1500th subscriber shall receive a free complementary upgrade to a paid subscription, valid for as long as they subscribe.
I shall also run the list of all my other subscribers (you!) through a random list generator and give the same offer (free complementary upgrade to a paid sub, valid as long as you subscribe) to TWO other addresses.
I think that’s quite a fun idea.
I shall also run a flash sale, with 50% off the price of an annual subscription from now until a few days after I reach 1500 subscribers. That is available here:
I had been planning on running a flash sale once I had shared a few of the posts from the upcoming second season of Ancestral, Wild Empowerment, but this timing seems sensible, too (I might well run one then, too!). I’ve had sales and discounts before, but not one with this much of a reduction, so do grab it whilst you can.
As well as sending this to my list, I’ll also pop it on Notes and maybe even Instagram, and I’ll remind you again a wee while before I close the flash sale offer.
Good luck, and sorry for two letters in one day!
