Hey there, Sumo-ling!

It’s official. March eclipsed January as the longest month of the year. (Something tells us it won't hold the title for long.)

With every news cycle focused on the virus that shall not be named, it’s easy to have overlooked the good that happened in March. For example, Netflix releasing Tiger King, not having to watch Duke play basketball, and getting quality pet time in.

So while you’re taking a minute to appreciate the good stuff, check out some updates from us and partners.

APPSUMO NEWS

Round and Round We Go

We've added a carousel to the top of Browse, which is a great way to get a pulse on what's happening in the store. With nifty banners on the top left corner of each featured image, you can see what's trending, what's ending soon, what's hot, and more.

Apple of My Eye

This Time, Baby, I'll Be Recession-Proof

You're not the kind of person who spends time feeling sorry for yourself. You would rather focus your energy on things you can control and make the best of your situation. And you're the exact type of person we had in mind when we created our Recession-Proof Hub. This hub is loaded with resources you can use to grow a business, no matter what's happening in the world.

Everything you need to be recession-proof

Chris²

Recently, our very own Chris Schelzi sat down with New York Times bestselling author Chris Guillebeau to discuss launching a side hustle when strapped for cash. Attendees really enjoyed this session, and we think you will, too. To see more talks like this, visit our YouTube channel or join our Remote Work Academy.

You Spend and You Learn

Like many companies, AppSumo uses Facebook ads to reach potential customers. But unlike many companies, we're sharing all of the ad knowledge we've obtained in a free ebook: What We Learned: Facebook Advertising. Discover the top 10 lessons AppSumo learned after spending $5 million on Facebook.

PARTNER NEWS

Zoomin' to the Rescue

At the end of March, Adzooma opened up their entire platform to everyone for free, giving those struggling a helping hand. Adzooma's platform is open to new customers, without limitations, until June 1, 2020. Existing customers will also see their billing cease until further notice.

Prime Minister of Placement

This free checklist, made by the good folks at DataDriven, will help e-commerce store owners get their products listed on Google Shopping Ads so they can take advantage of prime product placement in search results and attract more customers.

Feel-Good Freebie

Because it entered our store so long ago, there's a good chance you might not have seen our GivingDocs freebie. This tool allows you to easily create a Last Will and Testament online. But if you want to use it, you have to grab it before it leaves the store this Sunday!

In Perfect Harmony

Harmonizely rolled out a few key updates including the ability to integrate Facebook pixels, edit and reorder questions in Meeting Types, reorder Meeting Types, earn a commission with an affiliate program, change user roles, and more. See all updates, here.

Stronger Together

You know the saying: when the going gets tough, the SaaS companies do what they can to help customers. Okay, that may not be the saying, but that's exactly what's happened. Many of our partners have stepped up big by offering their services at discounted prices (some even for free). To see a list of discounts, click here.

Jarrett, Account Executive

What skill do you wish you were born with? The ability to perform fire guitar solos (think Carlos Santana at Woodstock). 

If you never had to sleep, what would you do with the extra time? Read, side hustle, lift weights, play guitar, and watch Tiger King on Netflix again.

WE'RE LOVIN' IT

Harvard's CS50x Puzzle Day

"This is probably the most fun way to prove I wouldn't have been accepted to Harvard in the first place. Self-deprecating jokes aside, this is perfect for any family or group of friends who enjoy solving puzzles (i.e., logic problems)!" —Candice

The Rewatchables

"Yet another Bill Simmons podcast, but this time analyzing the most rewatchable movies of all time. Instead of doing the academic thing and talking about all eras, it focuses heavily on the 80s/90s/00s crowd-pleasers. Hilarious, insightful, and you'll never find a better analysis of the deep themes in John Wick. Plus, Quentin Tarantino guest-hosted three times, so that's a bonus." —Jake

Nioh 2

"Much like Dark Souls, Devil May Cry, and Diablo, this game takes place in the feudal land of Sengoku era Japan. Best part: the entire game can be played cooperatively! Great for staying social while keeping your distance.” —Chelsea

That's all, folks! See ya next month!
