Invite your friends to join Safe @ Work

I'm asking for your help to grow this community.

R to L: Me, Mark Simonson (legendary type designer and one of the first clients of Business Letters,) and Jason Santa Maria. Jason is the co-founder of A Book Apart, we worked together at Typekit many years ago.

This has been a huge week! 15th anniversary of being married to amazing wife Jennifer (follow her on LinkedIn), 6th Sober Anniversary, my 14th Father’s Day, and Juneteenth. I also spent the weekend knocking around a typography conference in Manhattan, my first conference in several years. Whew!

I am so grateful to all of you for joining and reading my newsletter. In just the past 30 days the subscriber list has grown by more than 15%. Two of the last four posts are the most popular of all-time.

The top posts for the last 90 days are:

1. How to Be Kind is only a few weeks old but is already the most-read post since I started the newsletter in January. I wasn’t crazy about this when I was writing it. I don’t like it when I feel like I’m complaining about the world instead of helping to change it.

2. How Coaching Works was very popular. I love reading about how other people do their jobs. It’s a reminder that I should always be looking to write pieces that I’d like to read.

3. 10 Wise Ways: Presentation Skills is probably the longest post I’ve sent out, more than twice the length of the average piece. I think this is some of my best work. It’s a paid post, meaning you can read the first five items for free.

I’d love to hear your feedback about what you’d like to see more of, and what you think I should change. Just hit reply to any message from me, including this one. Also make sure to join our Slack and link up with our supportive community.

How Referrals Work

If you’re enjoying the newsletter, it would mean the world to me if you invited friends to subscribe and read with us. If you refer friends who join (even at the free level), you’ll receive a reward with my gratitude.

1. Share Safe @ Work by Matthew Rechs. When you use the referral link below, or the “Share” button on any post, you'll get credit for any new subscribers. Simply send the link in a text, email, or share it on social media with friends.

2. Earn benefits. When more friends use your referral link to subscribe (free or paid), you’ll receive special benefits.

• Get a 1 month comp for 3 referrals

• Get a 3 month comp for 5 referrals

Paid Subscriptions

Of course, the best way to directly support my work is to join as a paid member. They start at just $4/month for an annual subscription. Every paid subscription is a vote for me to continue doing this work. One new subscriber said she’d discovered a “whole career’s worth of great advice” in the archive after only a couple of days.

Thank you for helping get the word out about Safe @ Work.
