what if one is already signed up for your newsletter? i am and when i try to enter my data in the form it states i already have signed up and confirmed my subscription?
If you’re an existing subscriber, you should have received an email in the past couple of hours (or soon if you haven’t already) with the word.
i did not see one flexo, is there anything i can do?
Forward me the last email you received from the newsletter and I’ll help you out.
Okay..already signed up for the CC newsletter, and yep, it contained the secret word. I also signed up for the Free from Broke newsletter. When I recieve it and the secret word, I will email. Thank-you.

This is the most creative give away that I’ve come across. Good job, Flexo.
Signed up for newsletter and got yours but have not received any from Free From Broke. I received email for confirmation but no new message after. Anyone in same situation?
Wayne, you should have received a follow up email. Shoot me a quick email at freefrombroke@gmail.com and give me the name/email you used and I’ll look to see if your signup went through.
Another possibility is the follow-up hit your spam folder. Take a look and see if it possibly wound up there.
Hi, thanks. I checked spam folder and nada. I sent you an email with my information.
Regards
I signed up for both emails, but haven’t received any confirmation either…
I am also in the same Newsletter Boat as you all..I am still waiting for my newsletter from “Free From Broke”, I have previously recieved the CC one.. I did re-confirm a little while ago and it said “Thanks”
and nothing else.
