Hey there, Sumo-ling!

Welcome to our first ever newsletter! In this email, you’ll see improvements we’ve made, what’s going on with the partners you love, and learn a little bit about the superstars behind the AppSumo machine (I know it’s hard to believe, but we are people just like you).

We also wanted to take a moment to thank you — 2018 was our #bestyearever and we're excited to make 2019 even better! So without further ado...

WHAT'S IMPROVED

Shawshank Redemption Instructions.

We’ve revamped the way you see your instructions in your account and have added neat features like being able to copy your redemption code to your clipboard (hallelujah!).

I'll take you there.

You can now use your referral link to share a specific deal you’ve purchased.

Let's talk About it.

We launched a brand new, hyper-optimized About page so you can creep on us (at super fast speeds!)

PARTNER NEWS

It's what's on the inside that counts.

Notejoy just launched the ability to search inside images and documents via Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. Uh huh, you can search text within a PDF! Full details here.

Check on it.

The Jeffalytics wants you to have this neat (and super helpful) Google Analytics optimization checklist.

Have it your way.

Customize UTM tags, share stories directly to your business page on Google, leave feedback after being asked to approve a story, and more new StoryChief features.

Chandler, Head of Engineering

What odd talent do you have?
I speak Esperanto.

What’s something everyone should try at least once?
I think everyone should try something they are 95% sure they would fail. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
