Hi everyone,

In honor of 8/8/08, (a lucky day for me cuz I'm Chinese!), I'm running a contest on my blog and giving away 8 one-month subscriptions/extensions, plus one 8-month subscription. All you have to do is leave a comment here: http://www.tastytidbits.net/?p=58

I'm also running an $8 for 8 months special (this is HALF PRICE!) for new subscribers who sign up between 8 am and 8 pm Pacific time, so this it the time to sign up -- or tell all your clustermates who aren't already signed up. Referral bonuses still apply - you get a free month for every new person who signs up and lists you as a referral.

Good luck and have a great day!!!
 
Who wants me as their referral?
 
Me too! I am going to see if this can work into my budget!
 
Me me me! I'm signed up. Want to be my referral Kelly? :)

PM me your email address and I'll let you know by the end of the day if we can work this into my budget right now. I am on unemployment since my PC isn't where I can live on it since I lost my FT job in June, so we'll have to see!

I have never used a newsletter service so I have a question. If I sign up today will this months newsletter be sent to me right away or do I have to wait until next month? Thanks!
God bless,
Amanda

When you sign up she gives the cut off date to receive this month's newsletter. However you can request it from her and she will send it to you. That is what I did.

When I just signed up, it said my subscription would start in September, but that I would receive the August one as soon as everything processed!
 
Her site is probably getting bombarded!!! :):)
 
I am sure!

I have considered going back to an email newsletter subscription for a while, and this pushed me off the fence!

OK, I just used your email address to transfer the money through PayPal. Please let me know when you've received it so that I know I did this correctly! Thanks so much. :)

How fun! I've been debating on trying this.....does everyone get good feedback, or do you ever get people that can't open it, or see the pics? This has been the only thing holding me back, because sometimes I have issues opening things...
 
What do you all usually use as the header of your newsletter? Do you use your name or something like "In The Kitchen with..." I'd like something different but not sure of what. Any ideas?
Thanks!
God bless,
Amanda
 
You all can use me as a referral if anyone would like to................... I love her newsletter........... Good Idea Joy..............

Okay -- if you already subscribed and got the payment page error - try this link:

http://www.tastytidbits.net/?page_id=66

That worked! Thanks Joy!
 
I call my Newsletter "Pampered Chris's Monthly Newsletter". My customers have not told me that they can't open the pictures or get to the links. I have received so much POSITIVE feedback from this!! I LOVE IT!!
If you decide to try it you can mention me as a referral or one of the others listed here. My email is [email protected].

I hope you try this out...Joy does such a great job!!!
 
I am signing up but I am stuck on a name also. I was thinking about What's Cookin. But I am not sure.
 
It worked Joy! Thanks!
