Getting started

What is Trustfnd, and where do I start?

Trustfnd powers collaborative growth for independent journalists. Here's the short tour.

Trustfnd powers collaborative growth for independent journalists. You'll always find more new audience if you don't promote alone. So team up, and chase one of two common goals:

  • Newsletter Bundles: grow your free email list. Cross-promote newsletters on a single sign-up page. Great to turn more followers who are interested in your content into email subscribers. Learn more

  • Bundle Passes: grow your paid publication. Sell time-limited, subscriber-level access to multiple publications. Great to get discovered by an audience that is happy to pay for your journalism. Learn more
