Rise is soaring into the upper ranks of the Nerdist competition and it's all thanks to you, the readers! Many of you answered my call to you to go find a friend and bring them in. Some of you have brought several. One person went and brought 6 friends and family members! You all are amazing; each and every one of you. Keep it up, we're so close and the end is in 12 days.

For those following but not supporting yet, all 124 of you, I make a call now directly to you. You've been following for a while now. Please consider jumping on board. Many of you are authors, possibly with credits to spare. I know I have them. I'm working my way through every project currently enrolled in the Nerdist collection and backing them all, so I'll get to yours eventually and before Sept 30. Some of you aren't writers, just interested readers, maybe without any credits. I ask for your support as well. Sure, it's 9.99. But, that price is better than the market price later. The site projects 13.99. It could go higher. And, if it really is hard to find 10 bucks right now, that's fine. Go to the project page and recommend the project using the Inkshares Recommend, Facebook, Twitter, and email buttons. Send a message to someone you know to get them on board and have them use a link you send them so you earn that $15 credits. You'll have brought another person into this ecosystem and we all benefit from that.

Here's to a raucous last 12 days and many more followers and backers.
