It’s the fifth anniversary of San Jose Hockey Now!
Thank you, San Jose Sharks fans, for supporting my coverage of your favorite team.
It’s been a tough year personally, as I mentioned recently here:
So your support has meant the world to me!
I appreciate you making SJHN your top stop for San Jose Sharks coverage. I especially appreciate those of you who subscribe to San Jose Hockey Now and contribute to my travel.
I say this all the time, but I’ll repeat it: There is no SJHN without you.
There are two main ways that I make a living with SJHN.
First, it’s the necessary evil of the business, chasing clicks, views, that kind of stuff.
SJHN is a 24/7 Sharks’ news site, so everything’s gotta be covered, big and small. I try to do that in a responsible way, I hope I succeed, and thank you for reading.
Your clicks translate to ad money…but that’s neither steady nor reliable. So honestly, I don’t pay as much attention to it.
What’s reliable? What can I count on?
Second, and it’s where SJHN stands out, it’s the support from you, the subscribers.
That’s a contract between you and I, that I give you work that you can’t get anywhere, stories worth paying for.
It’s the backbone of SJHN, money that matters, and I literally wouldn’t be here otherwise.
I love my job, and I couldn’t do it without you — thanks for believing in me to do it.
So let’s talk some San Jose Sharks in the dog days of late July…let’s have some beers together!
I’m going to do a private Zoom AMA on Monday, July 28 from 7:30-8:30 PM PT just for subscribers.
Want an invite? Just e-mail shengpeng@gmail.com!
Please include the e-mail address that you subscribe with, so I can confirm your subscription, and I’ll send you the Zoom meeting invite.
And if you haven’t subscribed? What are you waiting for? Use code “SHENG10” to get $10 off an annual subscription, which gives you access to all National Hockey Now paywalled stories, from Colorado to Pittsburgh to more.
Excited to chat with you on Monday!
