Today’s post is a brief departure from the regular quality analysis and commentary you crave to make a shameless sales pitch. Actually, it’s more a plea akin to online begging.

I’ve recently created an account at SubscribeStar, a subscription service that allows creators to collect subscription fees from their followers. If you’d like to support the writing here at TPP, but previously weren’t sure how, consider subscribing to my SubscribeStar page. You can do so for as little as $1 a month.

If you subscribe at $5 or more, you’ll receive some additional weekly content that will only be available at the Portly Politico SubscribeStar page. You’ll also get advanced notice (and special deals) on some planned TPP ebooks.

I will, of course, continue updating the WordPress blog daily (to the best of my ability), which will always be free.

Long-term, I still have plans to launch The Portly Podcast, which may begin life as a SubscribeStar exclusive.

The Portly Politico is a passion project, one that I hope adds some value to your life, and something original and productive to the discussion of national, cultural, and political problems. I’ll continue with it regardless of the number of subscribers I receive, for as long as it’s feasible to do so.

That said, financial support is appreciated, and it helps improve the quality of the blog, as I can invest funds into improving the layout, registering a domain name, building readership, etc.

So whether you can pitch in $1, $5, or nothing but your eyeballs, I look forward to writing quality commentary and analysis into the future.

Thanks again, and God bless.
