I lied. You benefit.
Checkout opens tomorrow (Aug 27). All early-bird bonuses unlocked. New Founder Tier.

Day 189/100
Hey—It's Tim.
I lied. I’m sorry.
I said pricing would drop today. It’s not. Tomorrow (Aug 27th), instead.
I brought an apology gift: all the early-bird bonuses.
Founders tier (max 30)
We’re literally rebuilding Penfriend from scratch. I want you in the room while we do it - as a founding member. Here’s what that means:
Monthly Q&A - I don’t leave until everyone’s Q is A’d. :P
Quarterly Content Plan - custom, by me. I used to sell these for $6k when I consulted.
Private Slack - jump in, ask me anything, ship faster.
The Anti SEO SEO Club archive - everything I’ve ever published.
The Old Prompts. I’m not kidding. I’ll drop the old prompts of how we used to do everything in Penfriend.
More bonuses to come this week
Capacity: 30 total. When it’s full, it’s full.
Founder Tier Onboarding & Training
I want you getting value on day one.
Starter - I’ll run 3 live group sessions to get you into the new Penfriend.
Advanced & Premium - I’ll personally train you and your team on the new Penfriend.
My guarantee to all founder tiers
As long as you join the slack, you’ll get personal help from me.
And, if, in the first 2 weeks, you haven’t published 3+ articles, I’ll do them for you. Ping me in Slack, show me where you got to, and we’ll ship it together.
Not going Founder? Early still wins (big).
Even if you skip Founder, getting in early is objectively better:
Extra credits: up to +50% in Wave 1, +30% in Wave 2, +10% in Wave 3.
Private Slack + Quarterly live Q&A for all early buyers.
Launch onboarding: Early cohorts get 3 live group sessions to get into the new Penfriend fast.
Lots of extra bonus rolling out this week: You’ll get them all automatically.
Timing & the code
Checkout opens tomorrow - Aug 27.
That code some of you asked for? It works on all Founders annual plans and expires on launch day. I’ll email you tomorrow, use it. Don’t share it. 😉
My early birds get the worm
I learned this the hard way running client launches: the people who show up earliest don’t just buy - they distribute. They ask better questions, share screenshots, and pull friends in. That’s traffic.
And before you say,
“Tim… it’s Traffic Tuesday - where are the traffic tips?”
One: thank you for remembering.
Two: this is literally traffic. Penfriend is built for today’s SEO/AISEO/LLMEO/GEO/WTF-you-call-it, and tomorrow’s too.
Three: fine - here’s a tip…
The tip
Turn early buyers into day-one distribution.
Give them one shareable win in the first 48 hours - something they’re proud to post.
Some examples for you.
Ask them to post about their purchase decision an why. Reward with more credits/call/a bonus specific to their exact situation
Make it easy for them to get the reward. It must be clear what they will get in return for their efforts.
Have it based on use. Make using the product and talking about it part of the reward. Example, publish your first article, tell me, and I’ll give you 2 credits as thanks.
I’ve said too much…
See you tomorrow for the drop.

Same brain, different platforms: X, Threads, LinkedIn.
P.S. The code does work on all founding tiers, annual only, and it dies on launch day.
I’m not pasting how to get it here. You have to go looking.
