These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Marketing Machine newsletter, website, community, and related offerings (collectively, the "Services"). By subscribing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Services.

Marketing Machine offers a digital newsletter and related content.

The Services include:

  • A free tier, which includes access to a weekly roundup of links and content to explore.

  • A paid subscription tier.

  • A book pre-order option, which reserves a physical copy of the upcoming book The Way of the Marketing Engineer, scheduled for early 2026.

  • Any subscriber active for 3 consecutive months or longer will receive a print copy of the book when it is ready, at no additional cost.

Details of the current offer are available on our subscription page.

2. Payments and Billing

Some offers may include promotional pricing or limited-time discounts. If you subscribe using such an offer, the rate you receive will be honored for the duration expressed by the offer at the time of purchase. After the offer period ends, your subscription may revert to the then-current standard rate unless otherwise specified.

Paid options are available through a third-party provider (e.g., Beehiiv or Stripe) and include:

  • Monthly Subscription: $20 per month.

  • Annual Subscription: $200 per year.

  • Book Pre-Order: $40 one-time charge for a print copy of The Way of the Marketing Engineer when it becomes available (estimated early 2026).

  • Recurring Billing: Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the renewal date.

  • Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time. Your access will remain active through the end of your billing cycle.

  • Refunds: Refunds are not guaranteed, but we aim to be fair. If something goes wrong, please contact us and we’ll do our best to resolve the issue.
