16 Ways to Support the Art of Manliness

Howdy! We here at the Art of Manliness work hard every day to bring you high quality, entirely free content that edifies, instructs, and entertains. We try to maintain a really high standard for content, so that we never put anything out we don’t feel is top-notch. Because of that, I’ve had several people tell me they thought the website was run out of New York City and had a big staff behind it. The reality is that it's just three of us running this thing. There's me and my wife, Kate, who work form our home office in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Jeremy Anderberg, our managing editor and podcast producer who works remotely from Denver, rounds out our mighty team of 3. We have no editorial board, no marketing staff, no PR people, and no assistants. The folks who do know that we’re small and lean often ask how they can help us out and support the Art of Manliness. And in fact there are a lot of ways to do so! Below I share a few ways you can help support the Art of Manliness. Do one or two or do them all. We truly appreciate any and all support our readers provide in keeping us running, growing, improving, and spreading the good word of manliness far and wide. 1.

At the end, I always try to suss out some practical takeaway from my conversation with my guest to help you become a better man. For an idea of the types of guests I have on, check out our [podcast archives](. I publish the podcast twice a week and the interviews last between 30 minutes to an hour long. I try to keep them as long as a commute to work. To get the podcasts sent directly to your smartphone as soon as they go up, subscribe with the podcast player of your choice. We’re available on the following services: 3. Tell a friend about the site.

Buy [The Illustrated Art of Manliness]( We published a book in May 2017 called [The Illustrated Art of Manliness.]( It's filled with over 100 skills every man should know handsomely illustrated by Ted Slampyak. It's a great book to keep by the toilet so you can freshen up on a man skill while you're taking care of business. [We've got some other books too](. 6. [Buy something from the AoM Store.]( We have an online store where we sell a variety of Art of Manliness goods. We have our one of a kind [Ben Franklin Virtues Journal](. You’ll also find AoM [apparel]( [posters]( and [books]( Your purchases in the Art of Manliness Store directly support the content we produce on Art of Manliness, so spend liberally there! 7. [Follow us on Instagram.]( Instagram has become one of my favorite ways to connect with AoM readers. I love seeing folks sharing stuff they’re doing because of AoM. You can follow us at [@artofmanliness](. On Instagram, we share behind-the-scenes pics of the goings on at Art of Manliness, occasional shots of McKay family life, as well as pics of readers doing awesomely manly things inspired by the Art of Manliness. I also do quick little giveaways on Instagram from [the AoM Store]( that you won’t find anywhere else. 8. Make a purchase through our affiliate partners. We are an affiliate for two companies: [Huckberry]( and [Amazon](. What that means is whenever you click on a link on our site to either Huckberry or Amazon and you buy something, we get a small percentage of the sale. There’s no extra cost added on to the price of what you’re buying, so it’s an easy and no-cost way to support Art of Manliness financially. With Amazon, you have to buy something within 24 hours after clicking the link for it to count as an affiliate sale for us. We’ve got Amazon links scattered all over the site, so you’re bound to run into one at some point in your AoM surfing. If you see something you like or need, buy it through that link. If you really want to do us a solid, [bookmark this link as your Amazon homepage](. Now, whenever you go to Amazon to do your shopping, we’ll get a small percentage of the sale. By shopping Amazon, you’re supporting the Art of Manliness. With Huckberry, the timeframe to buy something after you’ve clicked the link is a bit longer. We’re always doing giveaways and promotions through them because 1) they’re great people and 2) they’ve always got some great stuff featured in their store. If you see something [on Huckberry]( that you need and fits your budget, we’d appreciate it if you used our affiliate links to purchase it. 9. Print out our content and share it in clubs, classrooms, and bulletin boards. I’ve gotten many letters over the years from folks telling us how they’ve printed off our content and used it in classrooms, dorms, homeschool programs, clubs, churches, and many different non-profit programs that work with boys and men. One of the coolest ways people have used AoM is creating a curriculum for young men in prison. If you’re a teacher, mentor, or leader of a non-profit organization, please feel free to print off our content and use it as part of your curriculum. If you’re a RA, hang pertinent AoM content on the dorm bulletin board. Thank you for your continued support. Without you, AoM wouldn't be possible. Until next time, stay manly!
