Publishers Marketplace Tips
15, Plus: Celebrating Another PM Milestone
The election pretty much ate November so we postponed marking the anniversary of PublishersMarketplace.com for a month — but it’s a big one, so it shouldn’t go unmarked. Improbable as it sounds, it has been just over 15 years since we launched our site. It’s a little comforting, in an odd way, in these charged and uncertain times, to remember that we launched at what would commonly have been considered the very worst moment in history to initiate a paid online content business, or a new business of any kind. The NASDAQ began its two-year collapse in late 2000 so […]
14 Years of Marketplace, and More to Come
Recognizing the muted state of the world right now, it is still that time of year when we take a brief pause from the daily to-do list to mark the 14th birthday of PublishersMarketplace.com. (That means that Publishers Lunch turned 15 early this year, but since we didn’t know we were starting something enduring at the time, the precise date of origin remains a bit mysterious.)

And We’re Back
For some of you, this may be your first email from us in a week or so. Last week a number of gateways erroneously blocked our mail. Because of a glitch at our email service provider, it look longer than usual to reenable those bounced addresses for sending.

If you were blocked, please refer your IT people […]

Still Available: A Discount Code for New PM Subscribers
As we first noted right after Groundhog Day, we have brought back our very occasional offer of a discount for those who want to try our full, paid service at PublishersMarketplace.com. For a limited time only, we invite new subscribers to check out a whole month’s worth of all of the resources at PublishersMarketplace.com for just $15, a “rollback” to our original price. On the second of our two registration pages, when you are asked to “choose a payment plan,” just enter the code 2015 in the “Promo code:” box. Having a full month at a discount is the best way to […]
