The Burleson Buzz turns one year old

The Burleson Buzz turned one year old May 4. Exactly one year before, the newsletter published its first article — an overview of the 2023 Burleson General Election.

Since then, The Burleson Buzz has published 218 editions of the newsletter — at least one publishing per week — that have reached a lot of people (81,845 unique views from 51,691 users).

Today, The Burleson Buzz publishes two weekly newsletters, each containing at least one original article and other content (like the Buzz Bulletin).

All this newsletter did in its first year of existence was grow. Its most important area of growth was you, the subscribers.

If you’re not a subscriber, I think you should become one.
The Burleson Buzz is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support this work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

There are 625 of you today, and you’ve brought 761 visitors to the newsletter’s website — with 40 of those visitors becoming subscribers themselves.

It’s been exciting to watch the newsletter’s readership grow. I’m privileged to write news stories for this audience.

I think this audience needs to be bigger though.

55,220 people live in Burleson. Shouldn’t they all be up-to-date on what’s going on in the community?

You can help me reach and deliver quality news to more of those 55,220 people. Here’s how:

Anniversary Sale

You are included in the 55,220 people. If you’re not already getting the best The Burleson Buzz has to offer, you should be.

I can’t thank you enough for supporting this newsletter by reading, sharing and subscribing to it through its first year of publishing.

To thank you for that support, for the rest of May I’m offering 50% off a paid subscription to the newsletter.

Get 50% off for 1 year

As much as paying for a subscription (even at a discount) helps me expand The Burleson Buzz and get closer to delivering news full-time, it isn’t the only way to support this newsletter.

Refer family and friends for free premium subscription

Sharing The Burleson Buzz with your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers and enemies is a great way to help the newsletter grow.

For anyone who refers at least 10 people to the newsletter, I’m offering a free trial to a paid subscription — the more people you refer, the longer the trial.

Refer a friend

I’d like to do even more for my readers than offer discounts and free trials on subscriptions though — I’d like to better cater the newsletter to you.

Help The Burleson Buzz deliver news how you prefer

Because of how you’ve supported me by reading, sharing and subscribing to my newsletter, I’d like to make sure I’m delivering news to you in the best way possible.

To do that, I need to know how you prefer to consume news and how you prefer to have that news delivered to you.
