Gifts and Growth Hacking
Share Jacob's Tech Tavern; get free stuff!
tl;dr
free subs: share my blog to new free subs and win free paid membership
paid subs: if you use your gifts, win lots of extra free months
Referral and gifts links are below.
I’m working hard to deliver interesting content each week.
But, as I slowly turn my hobby into a business, sometimes I must wear many hats. This means that occasionally I have to take off my fun, cool, tech blogger hat*, and put on my unfashionable, crumpled, growth hacking hat.
*it’s a backwards baseball cap that has “thug life” embossed on it
If you ever get a wheedling email at 11pm trying to coax you with a special offer, you’ll know which hat I’m wearing. But, cranial fashion aside, it also means you can get free stuff if you help me grow!
If you made it onto my email list but somehow don’t know my offering by heart, here’s the deal:
Free subs get long-form content every 2 weeks. Paid subscribers get content every week: Quick Hacks, my exclusive paid-only content, plus my long-form content 3 weeks early.
Free Subscribers
Thanks for reading! I really appreciate it.
I have a really simple automated referral program: refer your friends and colleagues as free subs, and you win complimentary paid subscriptions.
I offer tiered rewards:
Refer 1 person: 1 free month (worth $12)
Refer 5 people: 3 free months (worth $36)
Refer 20 people: a free year (worth $110)
Paid subscribers also get these free months appended to their existing membership.
p.s. Substack shows me who referred who, so it’ll be really obvious if you abuse this.
Paid Subscribers
Thanks for paying me! Secretly, I appreciate you more. Don’t tell the free guys though.
I’m offering you a neat way to get free months added to your membership.
If you go to this link:
https://blog.jacobstechtavern.com/account/gifts
…you should see your gifts: a free month you can send to friends and colleagues.
Some people might not see this page, and Substack was very unclear about who gets it—so please comment below if you don’t see this, and I will try and get it sorted out with support.
If you share all your gifts, I will give you a free month of membership (worth $12). Please follow up with your friends or colleagues so they accept it, then DM me so I can manually give you the extension.
If anyone you gift converts to a paid subscriber, I will give you 3 free months of membership (worth $36).
This works as an extension at the end of your billing period (either monthly or yearly).
Thanks for supporting Jacob’s Tech Tavern! I am incredibly grateful for all your support in helping me grow 🍺
