This year I joined every club in the #NRL.
From the Broncos to the Warriors, I am now a card-carrying member of all 17 clubs.
I wanted to compare the experience of becoming a member for the first time.

@problogger Claude helped me to create a family devotional series on the book of Ecclesiastes. It’s also been a helpful companion when I’ve been preparing Bible studies.
Membership growth doesn't require big promotional budgets.
It requires noticing.
The @sydneyswans noticed that member Glenn regularly buys a guest pass at games. So they called him with a membership upgrade.
He now has a second membership.
As Glenn put it: "They saw a need and had a solution."
How many Glenns are in your database right now?
My mum frequently donated blood.
As a child, I remember accompanying her to these appointments during school holidays and sitting with my sisters on the comfy chairs next to her even comfier chair.
We always wanted to join in with the milkshakes, biscuits and jellybeans - but these were only for the people who had given blood! I remember the sticker she would get each time - "Be nice to me - I gave blood today."
I don't know why she started, but it was my mum's example that prompted me to start donating blood when I was in year 12.
I gave regularly, then less regularly, then today I realized I haven't donated in more than 3 years. The "urgent" just overtook the "important."
There's always an urgent need for blood, but today the need is even more urgent. Fifteen people killed and 27 people remain in hospital following an act of unimaginable evil targeting Australia's Jewish community.
I've just booked in to donate. If you can, please join me.
I've seen the same YouTube ad ~100 times.
I'd like a button on ads (on YouTube, Google, Facebook) that I could click to say:
"It doesn't matter how many times I see this ad, I'm not going to buy."
I'm actually not anti-ad. Relevant ads are great. But seeing an irrelevant ad over and over isn't benefiting the brand or me.
