The Road So Far!

I wanted to update you today on where The Freeman Wire is going.

I've been writing for over three months now, and I've been blown away by the support!

Hearing the stories of how my writing has impacted y'all has been such an encouragement to me!

It looks like Where Is God In This? and Cast Down Your Bucket are the most popular articles so far.

However, I've also had many people tell me they liked Where’s Your Station and Built By Love.

Do you have a favorite article? Let me know in the comments.

Anyway, there are a few things I want to discuss here.

I'm starting a referral program! If you sign up, you'll get a unique referral link to share with friends and family. When someone subscribes to the Freeman Wire through your link, you'll earn points toward rewards!

Substack, unfortunately, allows only three tiers. Here they are:

2 Referrals: A shout-out in the newsletter

5 Referrals: A personalized thank-you video from yours truly.

10 Referrals: Exclusive Q & A Zoom Call Invite.

I'll have an email about this program going out Friday morning.

Also, I'm considering adding paid subscriptions to The Freeman Wire in the near future. For being a paid subscriber, I’ll give you access to exclusive posts and a subscriber-only chat where you can talk with other readers and me directly. I may do some other arrangement, I’m not sure yet.

If you want to support my work this way, you can pledge.

Substack will prompt you to enter your payment information but will NOT CHARGE YOU until I turn on the paid subscription feature. I promise I’ll let you know if I decide to do that!

For more information about how pledges work, click on this link.

If you're not interested in either of these things but still want to support me, just spread the word about The Freeman Wire.

I would strongly recommend sending people to THIS LINK: freemanwire.substack.com

I did a Google search, and the results are wonky. I'm writing on Substack's subdomain and not my own, so my newsletter doesn't have much domain authority, and it also means I can't do much for search engine optimization either.

Sorry, digital marketing lingo.

Otherwise, you can go to my personal website, jordanblackwood.com, and there's a direct link to The Freeman Wire!

One last thing. If you are a writer, author, or creator or aspire to be one of those things, I recommend Substack as a publishing platform!

Start writing today. Use the button below to create a Substack of your own

It's free to set up and use. The only charge will be the cut Substack takes if you plan on charging for your publication and a Stripe fee.

The community here is excellent. It is way more laid back and friendly than Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube.

With that said, I'm always looking to improve!

Would you like to see a podcast in the future? How about live videos?

Feel free to reply to this email and tell me why you subscribed or what you enjoy about this newsletter. I'd love to hear some stories from you!

Also, please tell me in your reply if I have your permission to share it on the ‘about page’ as a testimonial!

Been a great first quarter on this new adventure, and I can't wait to see what's next!

Thanks so much for your support!
