OzBargain has been good to me over the years, saving me loads of cash and giving me product advice in the comments. To repay the favour I am giving the OzBargain community a special offer to my semi-popular technology related email newsletter, The Sizzle. Every weekday I send an email out covering the latest tech news in a brief, entertaining and down to earth format. Been doing it for almost 7 years now!

Instead of the usual 14-day trial, OzBargainers can get a 90-day trial, absolutely free. No need to worry about forgetting the trial and paying accidentally as I don't ask for payment details, just your email address.

I've given promo offers on OzBargain before: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/thesizzle.com.au, but this is the best promo yet I reckon. There's probably 200+ OzBargain members that are paying subscribers of The Sizzle so if it's good enough for them to pay me, it's good enough for you to not pay and try it out for 90 days!

    I've been a paid subscriber since the day [literally] I was first shown The Sizzle in 2018.

    I get a lot of consolidated news from email newsletters and podcasts, and The Sizzle is well worth the reasonable annual $$.

    Anthony (decryption) always finds tech news of interest and even though I don't always read all the full articles, he provides enough info in each issue of the newsletter to keep me well informed anyway.
    I'll keep paying for The Sizzle as long as Anthony keeps pumping it out.

    (He also takes break and has good people to fill in for him.)

    The Sizzle is probably my favourite tech publication. I work in tech (and am interested in some parts of it) so I feel an obligation to keep up to date, but it's so tiresome to fish through the firehose of garbage articles written by doofus journalists that buy into the Silicon Valley 'Make The World a Better Place' hype. Anthony does this for me every day and I pay peanuts for it. Plenty of OzBargainers would enjoy The Sizzle, but if your personal circumstances allow you to tax deduct this expense, you in my eyes have absolutely excuse but to subscribe.

    I used to be a big fan of the delimiter (RIP). I also used to think the idea of paying for an email was rubbish.
    The Sizzle includes an Australian perspective on tech, it's concise, it's well written, and it's a good way to get exposed to think you might be interested in looking into. The bargain alerts are pretty awesome, on occasion.

    It's like having a cool tech savvy PA, and you don't get much PA at this price (probably about an hour and a half of time per year, with a reasonably priced PA who has zero interest in tech).

    In all seriousness, I not only paid to stay on "The Sizzle", but I resubbed too.

    Have read through the overwhelmingly positive comments. What's different between this and Morning Brew, which is free and presumably written from a US lens? Anything else of note?

    • Store Repdecryption @ The Sizzle on 11/03/2022 - 08:26

      Morning Brew tends to focus on more financial stuff. Looking at their latest issue, it's almost all finance, no tech. The Sizzle is very much technology focussed (i.e: new product announcements, tech related government policy, infosec stuff, electric cars, a bit of cryptocurrency etc.) and of course, covers Australian topics that US publications don't care about (e.g: NBN, Australian government decisions/laws, Australian court outcomes, Australian tech companies, launches of Australian products and so on).
