The Rewired Soul Needs Your Help
To start, I just wanted to say that I use the word “need” loosely but it was better for the title of this post. What it should say is, “The Rewired Soul would greatly appreciate your support.” lol
I provide as much free content as possible across all of my platforms for a variety of reasons. Part of it may be my own impostor syndrome and thinking, “Why should anyone pay for me sharing my thoughts, views, and opinions?” But, like you, I got bills to pay and a kid to feed.
On September 1st, I was laid off from my job, and I wrote a bit about how I was lied to and manipulated leading up to the layoff, but I try not to hold a grudge because it’s the way things are. Fortunately, I had a little savings stashed up. But now, Christmas is coming up and my son’s birthday is New Year’s Eve (brutal, I know). On top of that, he needs braces, and insurance isn’t all that helpful with the cost.
So, What’s Changing?
Nothing’s changing. For now, all of my content is remaining free. But, you can support The Rewired Soul by becoming a paid subscriber for as little as $5/month or $50/year.
In the future, I’ll probably be providing early access to podcast episodes for paid subscribers like people do on Patreon to give a little extra bang for your buck. And for anyone who would like to become a founding member, you’ll receive free access to all of the books I’ve written as well as some future benefits.
This is a suggested donation to allow me to continue focusing on providing all of the content I create across platforms. Right now, I do everything 100% on my own including writing and editing my content, reaching out to authors for the podcast and coordinating with them, editing the podcast, editing the YouTube videos, etc.
Other Ways to Support
If you’re picky with your subscription services, I get it. On a regular basis, I check and try to reduce my subscriptions as much as possible. So, here are some other ways to support The Rewired Soul:
I’ve self-published seven books, and you can get them on Amazon or from my website, which has more options.
Note: I’m also currently working on a new books so follow me @TheRewiredSoul on Twitter and Instagram for updates.
As many of you know, I read a lot, and my son recently helped me organize all the books I’ve read by category. When you use my affiliate links to get these books, a tiny bit comes back. You can find them sorted by category here at Kit.co.
My Kit.co needs some more updating, but I also publish a weekly reading list every Monday at TheRewiredSoul.com and the links to all the books are affiliate links as well that help out.
If you want affordable online therapy, use my affiliate link for BetterHelp. This is a service I’ve personally used, and it helped me out a lot when I was cancelled on YouTube and in a really dark place. You work with a licensed therapist, and it’s extremely convenient, and I believe they still offer a sliding scale.
I have a background in marketing and personal branding and recently started offering services for authors on my website. But, if you need some consulting for your personal brand or business in any industry, email me at therewiredsoul@gmail.com, and we can see if it’s a good fit.
Some people just want to make a one-time donation of support, so if that’s you, you can donate at my PayPal link here or scan the QR code below:
Free Ways to Support
One reason I offer my content for free is because I know that a ton of people are in the same position as me. Hell, I write about a ton of the social issues and discuss it on my podcast all the time, and COVID has made things even worse.
So, if you can’t support financially, there are plenty of free ways to help support The Rewired Soul (and these are ways to help any/all of your favorite authors and creators).
Share the content: This is by far the best and easiest thing you can do. If you ever read one of my Substack posts, listen to a podcast episode, read one of my books, or anything else and like it, please share it. Share it on social media or just send it to your friends or colleagues privately. Sharing not only helps spread the word for smaller creators like myself, but the algorithms love this. When algorithms see content is being shared, they start promote it more organically to reach new audiences.
Follow and subscribe: Subscribe to the Substack, the podcast, and the YouTube channel. Follow me on social media @TheRewiredSoul. This also really helps with the algorithms and creates social proof on platforms where the numbers are visible.
Rate and review: Many of you listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, but even if not, click here to go to Apple Podcasts or download the app and leave a rating and review. If you’ve read my books, ratings and reviews also help a ton on Amazon so click here. I’m not asking you for a good review, but just an honest one. The algorithms love this and it also gives people some more information about the content.
Whether you decide to support or not, I appreciate anyone who consumes my content. I’m inspired to write, do the podcast, and make YouTube videos about topics that I feel need more awareness or to teach people about interesting and important stuff. So, either way, I appreciate you.
I’m currently writing a book about how we’re manipulated by the news, social media, technology, advertisers, and each other. It dives into the psychological history of manipulation, our biases, tribalism, and more.
