Being independent doesn't have to mean doing everything alone. If you're in the U.S., team up with others to get discovered by people looking for good, independent journalism about the midterms. This is how 👇🏻

Just shipped a tiny new label that shows which other journalists use a platform that supports Bundle Passes, Ghost, Beehiiv, or Steady.
Card of @tubetalkmedia in the new Collaborators tab. It shows a small label that reads 'Bundle Pass compatible' with the icon of the publishing platform Beehiiv.

NEW in Trustfnd: Upgrade offers email series 🥳 Bundle Passes are the best way for journalists to get discovered by people happy to pay for their journalism. Now you can more easily turn those people into recurring subscribers once their Pass expires. 🧵
Launch post showing the conversion of a Bundle Pass holder into a recurring subscriber. At the center, a phone displays an in-newsletter offer email headed "Keep access for a year at 30% off" from Autonomy News (autonomynews.co), with three checkmarked benefits above a black "Claim offer" button. 
A curved dotted arrow labels the reader as a "Bundle Pass holder" on the left transitioning to "recurring subscriber" on the right. Below, a timeline marks three email touchpoints across the pass lifecycle: "Expiring soon" (one email) and "Keep access" (three emails) during the active Bundle Pass period, and "Renew access" (two emails) after the pass has expired.

One stat I watch when journalists run @trustfnd.com bundles is the full bundle rate. That's the share of people who are new to *all* publications in a bundle. I love the high numbers here. They mean that you're not just sharing audience, you're actually growing it for everybody.
Six donut charts showing full bundle rates across Trustfnd bundles: 91%, 79%, 71%, 67%, 61%, and 46%. Each figure is the share of buyers who subscribed to every newsletter in that bundle.

So Brian Stelter just covered @trustfnd.com in his CNN newsletter. Bundles, he writes feel like “something we’re gonna see more of.” Yup. Get in on the action at Trustfnd.com
How about a newsletter bundle?
A startup called Trustfnd is launching what it calls "Bundle Passes," allowing newsletter writers and other creators to team up and sell their paywalled content together. It feels like something we're going to see more of. Journalists Marisa Kabas, Kat Tenbarge and Katelyn Burns are piloting an "indie media bundle" by selling a discounted subscription to all three of their newsletters via Trustfnd.
"For years my readers have told me that they wished it was possible for them to have one place to sign up for all the newsletters they read, with one payment for everything," Burns wrote on Bluesky.
"I'm pleased to announce that is now possible!"
