New Subscribers Save 40% From Black Friday To Cyber Monday

Lock in at the best deal we’ll offer for the foreseeable future.

We’re on sale!

You may have noticed that we launched in January of this year with three employees, zero subscribers, and zero pieces of The Pickup content on the site. Since that time, we’ve published 365 blogs, acquired 700 subscribers, and have an editorial assistant, Katie Wiehe! (Did you see her big bitcoin mine scoop last week, by the way?) That is, according to my calculations, a zillion percent growth. We’re running steadily along. 

One of the main things keeping us running is that subscriber count. Without subscribers, there’s no Pickup. Matt would have to get a job announcing college basketball, Alicia would teach dance to Fortune 500 CFOs, and I would attempt to make Lady the Office Shih-Tzu into a dog influencer, decimating my karma. 

None of this needs to happen. You can help. From now until Monday, December 1 at 11:59 PM, you can get a subscription to The Pickup for just $3.59 a month. That’s $36.60 a year! We’ll even throw in a little sweetener: By joining The Pickup during this sale, we’ll put you in a raffle to win a Pickup hat and a “Keep Honking! I’m Reading The Pickup On My Phone” bumper sticker. 

Doesn’t that sound nice? Fantastic! You can subscribe right here, for dirt freakin’ cheap! See you in the comments section.

If you liked this story, please share it! Your referrals help The Pickup reach new readers, and they'll be able to read a few articles for free before they encounter our paywall.
