Here's the deal.
We leave our egos at the door and help each other out. Forget about 'taking down the cult', the purpose of this community is to free our family and friends from its influence. To that end we're happy to offer some free tools to help everyone succeed in their activism.
Professional accounts with advanced options are available for a small fee.
Profile
Your profile page is your activism hub where visitors can read your blog articles, view your videos, listen to your podcasts and sign up to any events you create. It will be ad-free like the rest of the site and you can customise your profile appearance to suit your style. You can even choose a snappy URL like apostates.net/buddy to get noticed and easily remembered.
Write
If writing is your thing we've got you covered with a complete blogging solution. You can embed pretty much any media into your articles and attach files too. From here you can easily share your blog on all the socials for maximum exposure.
Selected articles may also be featured on the apostates.net blog and substack and shared on our social media accounts.
Podcast
Do you already have a podcast hosted with Anchor, Podbean or another provider? You can easily feature your current podcast on your profile and promote it to a more focused target audience. No technical knowledge needed.
Pro-Members:
We'll host your podcast and take care of everything for you. You can easily collaborate with new contributors and intervewees, upload your audio files, add titles, descriptions, tags etc. We automatically generate an RSS feed for your podcast which you'll need to submit to the major platforms like Apple, Spotify and Google. Do that once and we'll keep it updated for you.
Marketplace
Support your activism by selling some merch. Tee shirts, mugs, calenders, postcards or anything you can think of. Everyone can open a store for free, we charge a straight 5% commission on sales to take care of our costs in running the commerce section of the site. You'll need either a PayPal or Stripe account to receive payments.
Postcards
We've saved the best for last.
How do you bring new ideas to trapped minds? Gently. A discreet postcard with a simple image on the front and two or three sentences on the back. Add a question to provoke curiosity and a QR code linking to more content.
Sure, many will end up in the trash but a new card sent no more than once a month will be hard to ignore forever. Folks may even start looking forward to them. You can design and sell your own cards from your store or just buy from other members.
Designing your own postcards is easy with free programs like Canva but we're here to help if you need it. We also provide a very competitive print option which we hope you'll consider using but you're free to use any printing service you choose.
