I’m Heather Ritchie of Writer's Life for You
I am so excited about The Smart Content Systems Bundle happening September 29 – October 5, 2025.
Give your audience something awesome while expanding your reach to hundreds of creators and solopreneurs already searching for tools like yours. It’s a smart way to grow your list and support your people.
The Smart Content Systems Bundle
The Smart Content Systems Bundle opens from Monday, September 29, to Sunday, October 5, 2025.
This bundle is your shortcut to simplifying content creation and business systems — without burnout.
How It Works For Your Audience
#1. Visitors sign up for the bundle through your affiliate link (it’s an affiliate link because you make 50% on the order bump and upsell (Yayyyy, the potential to grow your list AND make money. Now that’s a win-win. 🤩)
#2. Then they are given access to a gift page, where they choose which free gifts they want to sign up for.
#3. When someone taps the button to sign up for your gift, they are then redirected to your gift’s sign-up page on your site, where they complete the opt-in process. This process keeps everything GDPR compliant on our end while ensuring you only get leads who are interested in the topics you talk about.
You can have order bumps, tripwires, or upsells on your free gift page, just make sure people do not have to enter their credit card numbers to sign up for your offer.
(On ThriveCart, I have found that you can use upsells as long as you use the PayPal legacy processor and only that one. Stripe Enhanced and Stripe Connect + require people to enter their credit card information even if the product price is set to $0, and when you use a coupon code.)

What We'll Need From You
1- We need to know that you're interested.
Hope you’re feeling good about joining us! If you’re nodding along so far, here’s what I’ll need from you to make things official.
If you apply during the open call, we are accepting applications until July 23, 2025, at 10 PM EDT. You’ll be notified that you are accepted by July 28, 2025.
You can let us know then if you want to upgrade to a VIP spot.
Then fill out the contributor form no later than August 10, 2025 at 10 PM EDT (the earlier, the better for our sanity – hello big planner here 🤣)
2- your basic information
We’ll need general information like your name, a headshot, business name, website, social media channels, etc.
3- Details of your contribution
We will need detailed product information:
- Title
- Description
- Link
- Coupon code (if applicable)
- Product cost
- Product mockup
- Product format
- Your coupon code or access needs to be through October 10, 2025 @ 12 AM PDT (to account for different time zones)
Your offer must be finished, and the autoresponder that delivers it must be functional by August 10, 2025, for testing.
If you are submitting a sales page, please provide us with a URL with the 100% off coupon code attached along with the actual coupon code. You can also duplicate your sales page and change the price to $0.
4- Promotion & Eligibility Requirements
- We are aiming for a smaller bundle on this one (around 30ish) to get you more amazing humans on your list. There will only be one or two contributors in the same category; max.
- The bundle logo must be on your sales page, and the language should be tailored to a free bundle, for example, “Get X for Free” instead of the regular price you offer it. You can grab the logo in pink here and in teal here.
- Mandatory promotion requirements – Send one full email only about the bundle (not just a roundup or a P.S.), and then one email mention like a P.S. or a social media post on your most active channel between September 29 and October 5, 2025. (There will be bonuses if you promote more, though! More on that later.)
- We prefer an email list size of at least 500, but still apply if you are a little under that size.

We designed the Smart Content Systems Bundle for content creators and solopreneurs who are serious about working smarter, not harder. Think bloggers, course creators, digital product sellers, and service providers who are juggling all the things — and looking for templates, systems, and strategies to save time, create content more efficiently, and grow their business without burning out.
If your product helps them plan, create, organize, repurpose, or monetize their content — they’re your people.
Results will vary depending on a few things, like how aligned your product is with the audience, how compelling your opt-in page is, and how much you promote the bundle to your own list and audience.
That said, contributors to similar bundles have seen anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred new email subscribers during the promo period. If your product is a great fit and you put in the effort to share the bundle, you could see a solid boost in both visibility and list growth — especially since the bundle drops right before Black Friday when people are actively looking for smart tools to use in Q4 and beyond.
We can’t guarantee numbers (no one can), but we can promise to do our part to make this a well-organized, high-quality, collaborative experience that helps you connect with your ideal people.
Because you’re not just giving something away — you’re borrowing other people’s audiences in the best possible way.
This bundle is your chance to get in front of a brand-new group of content creators and solopreneurs who may have never heard of you before — and turn them into warm, engaged email subscribers. You’re building your list with people who already want what you offer and are raising their hands to learn more from you.
Plus, when someone gets real value from your product, they’re way more likely to stick around, open your emails, and eventually buy your paid offers.
In short? You’re not losing a sale — you’re building a relationship. And that relationship can be worth way more than a one-time purchase.
To keep things fair and make this bundle a success for everyone involved, here’s what I’m asking:
- Send at least one dedicated email about the bundle to your list (not just a roundup or a quick P.S.).
- Do one additional mention — this could be a P.S. in another email or a post on your most active social media platform.
That’s it! Of course, if you want to promote more than that, I’ll have some fun bonuses and extra visibility opportunities for you (more on that soon!)
The Smart Content Systems Bundle is all about helping creators work smarter with their content, so if your product helps people plan, create, organize, repurpose, or grow through content, there’s probably a spot for you!

Yes, absolutely — I love referrals! Just keep in mind that spots are limited (around 20-ish total), so I may not be able to include everyone.
If you know someone with a great product that fits the theme and helps creators work smarter with their content, feel free to send them my way. Just make sure they’re cool with sending at least one dedicated email and sharing with their audience.
Please make your product available for free through October 10, 2025 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. That gives participants in all time zones plenty of time to grab what they signed up for, even if they join on the last day of the bundle.
