Want to run a subscriber drive TOGETHER?
You don't like asking for money but what if we're all asking for money!
In partnership with: Outpost for selling your subscriptions
Want to run a subscriber drive…together?
We have such a stellar group of indie publishers in our midst and so many readers out there don’t know what they’re missing. If only we could shine a light on each other while still growing our audience and revenue.
Here’s what I’m thinking:
You send me your blurb and links
I make a landing page with everyone’s publications on it
We all promote it together. Hooray! More subs for everyone!
The idea is that you will promote YOUR OWN subscription AND the page with everyone else’s subscriptions as a way to get your audience excited about what’s happening in indie media. All of us promoting together is sure to drive some momentum. It’s also going to hopefully help with the FEAR OF SELF-PROMOTION that seems to be going around our community.
This is not a bundle. It’s a co-promotion just for September. You’ll take the money like you normally do. And my goal is always for you to hit your own sub goals first.
I’m calling it the Back Indie Media Drive (a working title—vote on this in my survey below!)

I’m going to make this **very easy** on you. I’ll provide a sample campaign you can use AND I’ll be hosting a couple live sessions throughout September to coach you through how to run this type of subscriber drive and reach your own goals. All you have to do is commit to sending ONE promotion that shares the group page.
👉️ All that said—I need your help to move forward. Tell me if you’re in and let’s make this happen!
