You may have noticed a new addition to the top of my sidebar in the last day or so. Yeah, that one. That’s right – I’m starting an email list. I know, mailing lists in general are pretty terrible. But this one will be different. I promise.

Still not convinced? I wouldn’t be either. That’s why I’ve come up with a list of 8 reasons you should sign up for The List.

1. You get a FREE copy of my book
You’ll immediately be able to download a free digital copy of my book, Everyday Absurdities: Insights from the World’s Most Trivial Man, when you sign up. This offer may not last long, so if you want it, sign up soon.

2. You’ll get exclusive content
I’ll be creating unique content solely for people on The List. Articles, videos, and whatever else might be worth your time.

3. Mucho giveaways and deals
I give away stuff on the blog all the time, but the giveaways for The List will be much bigger and better (for instance, an Amazon gift card giveaway in the next few weeks). How big? Sign up and see.

4. Emails will be perfectly frequent and the perfect length
We’ve all signed up for email lists that email us too often or include too much content per email. If you’re anything like me, you delete it before even reading the first word. My hope is that these emails will be different. Perfect? Probably not. But hopefully something that makes you laugh and you look forward to seeing in your inbox.

5. You’ll get an early look at upcoming projects
Whether it’s sample chapters of the next book I’m working on or an early look at a video, this will be the place for early, behind-the-scenes content.

6. You’ll get to find out the punchline to this joke
What do you do when you see a spaceman?

7. I’ll be collaborating with some other bloggers
I’ve got some fun stuff in the works with some bloggers that you all know and love.

8. Content comes to you
Much like RSS, all of the above content arrives effortlessly in your inbox without you even having to think about it.

That’s all I got. Hopefully you’ll sign up and be a part of it. And if you try it and don’t like it, you can always unsubscribe.

So, come join The List. You can sign up in the sidebar or in the form below. Looking forward to this!
