Hey all! I wanted to drop in with a bit of exciting news and be completely transparent about it. As you might’ve noticed, I only have a handful of articles on here so far (three, to be exact) and a small but supportive group of readers. While building this blog has been a blast, I’ve also been thinking about how to sustain it and keep the content flowing regularly.

So I played with the buttons and added a premium subscription option. My goal is to create special content for those who really want to dive deeper into the topics I cover—especially programming, tech, and little insights from my own journey as a developer. Now, you might be thinking, “Why a premium tier when you only have a few posts so far?” Great question! I want to start early, learn what works and what doesn’t, and stay committed to providing more value to all of you.

Here’s what I’m offering to premium subscribers right now:

Quick-start guide for anyone looking to learn JavaScript fast.
  1. A free PDF copy of my short eBook, “JavaScript for People in a Hurry. I currently sell this on Amazon for $2.99, but if you subscribe, you get it at no extra cost. This book is a concise guide to JavaScript fundamentals for anyone who wants a quick but thorough overview of the language.
  2. Future exclusive content. I’m still fine-tuning what this will look like—possibly extended tutorials, behind-the-scenes looks at my projects, or even a monthly Q&A session.

I know this is a new step, and I truly appreciate any support you’re willing to give. If you decide premium content isn’t for you right now, no worries—free posts will still be coming your way. But if you want to dive deeper with me and support the blog financially, you’ll not only get immediate access to my eBook but also help shape the direction of future premium articles.

Thank you so much for reading and being part of this journey. Every blog (and every creator) has to start somewhere, and I’m grateful you’re here to see this one evolve. If you have any thoughts on what you’d love to see behind that premium wall, feel free to drop a comment or shoot me a message. Your feedback means everything as I figure out the best ways to give you value in return.

For those that are already subscribed, and want to support me, be sure to into your account to update the subscription plan.
