confused about how this works? look no further—here we clarify the use of a paid subscription so we can get you in the mix! paid subscribers are able to engrain themselves in and engage with our network with full newsletter access, Discord access (details on what that is below!), and our full contact bank.
Is it worth becoming a paid subscriber?
Yes! A paid subscriber has access to:
- Newsletter: We've un-paywalled saloon 7 and saloon 15 so you can see what a paid subscription includes. Paid subscribers are able to see everything in the newsletter, including all the opportunities/contacts/exclusive events and discounts available through our network.
- Discord: This "chat room" is sort of the lifeblood of saloon, and nearly everything in the newsletter is sourced from it. We've already had many success stories of folks landing jobs, collaborating for articles, curating events together (you can see our first irl event here), making friends and meaningful connections through it.
- Contacts: saloon's contact bank is, well, huge. By joining, you have access to the direct contact information of each opportunity posted, including the right contact for job or gig opportunities, and invite-only events in our community!
I'm new to Discord, how does this work?
Our Discord is where our members connect directly, and the source for our newsletter's opportunities. Some examples of how it works here.
Discord is an easily navigable chatroom—think back to AOL, or message boards, or think of it like a living, breathing, interactive Reddit thread. A curated selection of industry professionals and representatives make up our Discord chat—these are people that are clued into their industries and have connections and opportunities to afford others in saloon! You can see our full member list here.
I don't want to join the Discord, but am interested in the opportunities there.
If you're not into the chatroom thing, you don't need to be! Everything in the Discord is curated and streamlined to appear in the newsletter in an easily accessible format (some folks don't like sorting through it themselves! We get it! It can be overwhelming). You'll receive all the same intel through the newsletter.
is this community ny-centric?
while I am personally Brooklyn-based & our irl events are NYC-based, the community has representation across fifty states, in Europe as well as Australia, with communities in Paris, London, LA, and beyond.
do you host events in person?
details on our irl events can be found here! we’ve had just one event (we only launched in August of 2024!) at Club Vintage in NYC, but are always looking to collaborate on events and help businesses/creators out where we can. If you’re looking for someone to collab with, we’ll likely want to! email juliafharrison@gmail.com.
who can I talk to if I have q’s?
me! julia harrison! email juliafharrison@gmail.com.
