Even after writing newsletter introductions for over a hundred issues, writing this one was challenging.

I think it's because I aimed to fit the biggest Hulry announcement and a flurry of emotions stemming from months of my "blood, sweat, and tears" work into a brief message for you.

After a long wait, I'm ecstatic to finally announce a membership program on Hulry for you.

I had the vision for this membership around three years ago, but I waited until I had enough time and ideas to craft a package that would serve you well.

I'm calling it Hulry Plus, and this is what you get by becoming a member:

1. Member-only guides, series, and workflows. The first on the list is the Back to Basics series, which is focused on helping you make the most of the Apple apps that come bundled with your devices. The first guide in this series, Notes, is already out, and the next one is in the works. In the coming months, I'll publish more series and articles for members showing workflows and tips I've never shared.
2. A growing collection of book summaries & takeaway notes. There are already 18 non-fiction book summaries (with notes and further reading resources) published now. A new summary for Same as Ever by Morgan Housel is coming out on Monday. More to follow after that.
3. A community for thoughtful discussions. Join me and other members in a private Discord community to discuss ideas and workflows, ask questions, suggest article topics, and have fun. I'll dedicate a chunk of my day to being active in this community, so if you ever want to ask me anything, this will be the best forum.
4. Member-only discounts for helpful & popular apps. I've partnered with 14 app vendors to bring you discounts ranging from 10–50% on popular to lesser-known but useful apps. I'm negotiating more deals to grow this list in the coming months. If you have an app on your mind you'd like to see here, let me know. I'll try to get them on board.
5. Flat 50% off on other Hulry products. From eBooks to templates and probably video courses in the future, members pay half-price on all other Hulry digital products.
6. Comments on blog posts, finally. You can now ask questions, suggest a tip or express your opinions directly on a blog post by leaving a comment. You can also read comments by other members to get a varied perspective on the topic.

Apart from these perks in the standard membership package, I'm opening 1:1 video calls for the first time as part of an upgraded package.

I won't promise that I'll 100% solve your problem or be able to completely answer every question on the call, but I'll try to help you the best I can. We can have an open discussion on anything related to personal growth, tech, and processes.

There are only 15 available seats on a first-come, first-served basis, and I have kept two open slots in a day, one in the morning and another at night, to accommodate different time zones.

But if the preset time slots are tricky, we can find a time that works for both of us.

Now, let's talk pricing:

The membership costs a one-time joining fee of $49. The upgraded package with a 1-hour call is $99, one-time.

Economically, a subscription model is more sustainable in the long term, and I'll eventually shift to this model. However, for now, I'm approaching this membership pricing like a Kickstarter project.

By buying a membership now and being an early backer, you get all the perks of a package growing in value without paying a recurring fee. Your ROI grows as more premium articles, summaries, and discounts are added to the membership.

Also, the current cumulative value of all app discount offers for members is over $200. If you opt for any discount offers, this already recoups a part or whole of your membership purchase.

If you like what I write and share on Hulry, this is the best way to support my work and help me bring you more well-crafted and deeply researched articles and guides in the coming years.

Become a Hulry Plus member now.

I can't wait to see you in the Discord community and the comments section. 👋

If you have any questions about the membership, reply to this email, and I'll respond as soon as I can.
