​

🎉 Hey Failories! It's Nico here.

Our newsletter referral program, two new interviews, and a bunch of curated articles and resources. Let's start!

​

news & interviews 📢

📧 Failory's newsletter referral program is out! As word of mouth has been an important user acquisition channel for Failory, I thought it'd be cool to give some rewards to those referring many people to our newsletter. If you:

• Refer 3 friends, you'll get access to Failory's monthly premium newsletter, where we analyze one startup failure, as we did with Vine and Quibi.
• Refer 8 friends, you'll get a free copy of our Product-Market Fit eBook.
• Refer 15 friends, you'll get access to our monthly giveaways of books, tools, and digital products for startup founders.

How can I get referrals? You simply have to copy and paste your referral link wherever you want: https://subscribe.page/s/failory?rh_ref=257297dc.

Or you can use one of these shortcuts to share it on Twitter, LinkedIn, or via Email.

How can I keep track of referrals? Here's your referral hub.
