The Steele Sports Bar Special Offer For Current / New Subscribers!
Celebrating the site rebrand / relaunch in style...
We’re getting into our groove here at The Steele Sports Bar.
If you missed it, I relaunched the site last week with a brand new look and a fresh approach / vision.
The mission? To become the best online sports bar / community / virtual hangout for the everyman sports fanatic.
You can read the full Mission Statement HERE.
And, to celebrate the start of an exciting new era for this website, I wanted to do something a little bit special for both current and new subscribers.
Current Subscribers
If you are a current free subscriber to The Steele Sports Bar - I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your loyal support - I am offering a 25% discount on an upgrade to a paid annual subscription for an entire year!
Yes, a full 25% discount.
I know money is tight, especially with the holidays rapidly approaching, and I want to make your lives that little bit easier by making this site more accessible.
Now the rebrand / relaunch is complete, there will be a lot more paid content going up. This will include some of the following:
Full access to every single article that is posted on the website every single day throughout the year.
Full access to our full archive all year round.
Some of the paid content you can expect to see will be weekly columns containing my random ramblings, power rankings, opinion pieces, interviews, free agency profiles, fun trade destination pieces, historical look-backs, lists (lots and lots of sports-themed lists) and lots, lots more!
A new weekly sports bar-specific feature that is currently in the works that will revolve around you - our loyal and brilliant readers and fellow sports fans!
Paid subscribers will also gain access to a Weekly Mailbag, a feature I hope to introduce over the coming weeks. Paid subscribers will be able to email me their sports-related questions or concerns - and anything else they have on their minds to be honest - and I will dive into them on a weekly basis.
Plus, once we build up this community a little bit, I’ll open up the really cool and engaging Chat feature on Substack where we can have virtual hangouts while talking sports and drinking a cold one! I’ll look to open these on game days and during big events like Free Agency, Trade Deadline, etc, while paid subscribers also have the ability to be to start their own chat thread where you can discuss whatever you want with your fellow paid subscribers! I’ll look to jump into these too. You will need the new and improved Substack App for this, which you can download by clicking below:
In short, paid subscribers will be able to engage with me and all of my work at The Steele Sports Bar 24/7 all year-round. I’m trying to build the best virtual online hangout ever for sports fans, and becoming a paid subscriber will ensure that you never miss out on anything I do on these pages.
By becoming a paid subscriber, you are also supporting me and the work I do. Again, I’m not backed by greedy, overzealous corporate overlords or handsy advertisers who want to dictate everything. It is just me, so every single cent and dollar will be put back into the website and towards supporting the work I do. The more support, the better product I’ll be able to deliver on a daily basis. And that’s the whole aim here; to create the best online hangout for fellow sports fanatics.
For instance, paid subscriptions will help to cover expenses such as the fees I pay to have a professional photo license for the site. Why is this important? As much as I love and believe in the written word, I’m also a firm believer in the saying that a picture paints a thousand words. As such, having a professional photo license allows me to spruce up the site with the very best sports images on the planet. Just like the one you see at the top of this article.
And, for full transparency, more paid subscriptions will eventually enable me to bring on a full-time editor because, as much as I check over my own work like an obsessive freak, our own eyes do a good job of deceiving us. Having a full-time editor on board will ensure that you are reading the highest-quality of work at all times. A full-time editor will also probably make sure I’m not writing 10,000 words on the Jets sucking or on a random Pirates - Reds game, too. Paid subscriptions will also cover things such as better podcast production, guest columns and merchandise! Yes, I’m currently looking into a line of The Steele Sports Bar merch and I hope to have some concrete news on this early in the New Year.
So, as I mapped out, by becoming a paid subscriber to The Steele Sports Bar, not only are you supporting my work, but you will also be playing a starring role in helping to grow this online community and take it to new levels.
I think that’s what you call a true win-win in our business.
This offer will run through until the first day of 2024 and I may extend it by a month if there is the demand for it.
Again, your support really is appreciated and by upgrading to a paid subscription now, not only will you will get 25% off, but you will also be contributing directly to the bright future of this website.
New Subscribers
As I said up top, my number one goal is to create the biggest and the best virtual hangout for the everyman sports fan.
I’m a diehard sports fanatic above everything else, and I want to cultivate an online community where we can all gather, share a few cold ones and dive into deep discussions about our favorite teams, our favorite players and the latest hot-button topics currently dominating the sports world.
Sound fun?
Then why not become a subscriber!
There will always be free content here at The Steele Sports Bar, and that’s a slam dunk of a guarantee.
I will always make sure that our free subscribers are catered for here.
However, if you sign up, like what you see and want access to the full bacchanal here at The Steele Sports Bar, then I have a special offer for you too!
All new subscribers who sign up and want to upgrade their subscriptions to a paid one will receive a 20% discount!
From now until Jan. 1, 2024, any new subscribers will be able to enjoy the 20% discount should they wish to upgrade.
And, hey, if you don’t then that is okay too!
But the offer is there should you want it.
I really am looking forward to welcoming a new army of subscribers to The Steele Sports Bar, and I can’t wait to hang out at the bar with every single one of you, share a nice cold one and talk sports.
What could be better!
We’re going to have a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to hang out with both current and new subscribers.
Here’s to talking ball (and puck!) at the best online sports bar on the internet!
