Announcing: The 600/500 Challenge!!!

Howdy, cowpokes!

Happy Pride Month! You know what that means – every LGBTQIA+ organization is hitting you up for cash and we are no different!

Rainbow Rodeo needs to grow and it can't do that without you! There is more queer country music than ever before, and queer country artists need a home to share their work.

600/500...?

Our 600/500 challenge means we're looking for

• 600 subscribers (paid or free – as of this writing, we're at 646)
• $500/month in subscriptions (as of right now we're at $256)

In other words, if every free subscriber contributed $1 a month, we would be in business! But where would that money go????

• $30/month – Web hosting
• $19/month – New podcast hosting that will support the main feed and a paid subscriber's feed
  • Have you noticed that the podcast has been a little...quiet? Sign in or sign up to read the announcement below!
• $150/month – Give staff writer Bee Delores a raise from $100/month
• $100/month – Give editor-in-chief Rachel Cholst a raise from $50/month
• $200/month – Double current commission budget for reviews, essays, and long-form pieces

So What Do I Get?

All paid subscribers will receive a code for a free physical copy of our latest issue of Rainbow Rodeo – and that includes shipping. (I will send the code out as soon as we have access to the copies. Should be next week. But sign in or sign up below to read it!)

All new subscribers will get a code for a free Rainbow Rodeo t-shirt! Just like this one:

Want the zine? Want the shirt? Want to know more about our plans for the podcast? Sign in or subscriber today!

This challenge, should you choose to accept it, ends when we hit the goal. Don't make me wait too long because I'm gonna get really obnoxious about it!
