Don’t Miss The Big Announcement I’ve Been Waiting Years To Make

Important note: Many of you have expressed concern that OGT Plus will replace the free content I share everyday, and the answer to that question is an unequivocal NO. The daily posts I create at One Good Thing by Jillee have always been and always will be free to everyone on our email list. OGT Ad Free and OGT Plus are for those who have expressed interest in a different experience.  Thank you, as always, for your enthusiasm, passion and support!  Love, Jillee

I have written more than 2,000 blog posts over the last 7 years here at One Good Thing By Jillee. Every single day I’ve made a point of sharing “one good thing” that I hope will enrich the lives of my readers in some small way. There are a lot of ways we can make our lives a little better, a little easier, or a little more joyful, and I’ve done my best to explore them all! But over the past few months, I’ve been wondering if there was something more I could do, or a new frontier I could explore in my effort to help improve my readers’ lives. I imagined creating something new, different, and exciting—something that would help express the gratitude I feel for my incredible readers who have supported me over the years.

So with that in mind, I got to work. My team and I have been working hard over the past couple of months to bring this new dream of mine to life, and it’s finally ready to be revealed! So it is with great pleasure and pride that I get to announce this exciting new chapter we call OGT Plus!

What Is OGT Plus?

OGT Plus is a membership program I’ve designed with the word “more” in mind. My goal with this membership is to offer you more value, more resources, and more ways to connect! OGT Plus is packed with benefits that you’re sure to love.

What Do You Get With OGT Plus?

There are so many exciting features that we’re rolling out as part of the OGT Plus experience. Here’s what you’ll enjoy as an OGT Plus member:

OGT Plus

Free eBooks ($49.94 value and growing)

In addition to launching OGT Plus, I’m also launching a brand new eBook Library! All of the books in my eBook Library are now available for purchase. But if you sign up for OGT Plus, you’ll receive FREE access to read and download all of the titles in my eBook Library—including future releases! This is a benefit with real value—it’s worth the cost of an OGT Plus membership alone!

I’ve been receiving emails from readers for years asking if I have any eBooks of my tips and solutions. I’ve finally built up a small collection of eBooks, and there are more on the way! In fact, I’ll be adding one new title to my eBook Library each month, so keep an eye out for those!

OGT Plus

Join The Inner Circle

One of the features of OGT Plus that I’m most excited about is the Inner Circle, a new community for OGT readers. The OGT Inner Circle takes the form of a private Facebook group where members will be able to connect with like-minded people, give input about future content, and participate in live Q&A’s with me!

OGT Plus

It’s hard to connect with all of my readers through my daily blog posts, so I wanted to create a community where I could form more personal connections. The OGT Inner Circle is a platform that will enable us to get to know each other better, and I can’t wait for you to be a part of it!

OGT Plus

Exclusive Deals

Everyone wants to save money wherever they can, right? I love being able to help my blog readers get more value for their money, and I knew I could do even more with OGT Plus! So as an OGT Plus member, you’ll have access to exclusive deals and discounts you won’t find anywhere else. I’ve been working with some of my favorite brands to offer you some great deals on some of my very favorite products! And you can look forward to even more deals and discounts being added in the very near future!

OGT Plus

No Ads

That’s right—with OGT Plus you’ll be able to view every page on One Good Thing By Jillee without any advertisements. Pages without ads load faster and look cleaner, so you can find the information you’re looking for quickly and easily.

The decision to offer no ads as an OGT Plus benefit was based on reader feedback I’ve received over the years. Unfortunately, it isn’t feasible for me to do away with ads entirely, because they help keep the lights on around here! But with OGT Plus, I can now offer you the ad-free experience you’ve been dreaming of!

OGT Plus

Save Your Faves

Another benefit that will enhance your One Good Thing By Jillee experience is the ability to save your favorite content. With an OGT Plus membership, you’ll see a bookmark on each post that will allow you to save that post. Your saved posts will appear on your “My Favorites” page, make it easier than ever to find the posts you keep going back to.

This is a feature that has been frequently requested by many readers over the years, and I’m so excited to finally bring it to life! There are SO many blog posts on One Good Thing By Jillee, and this feature will make it easy to keep track of the ones you care about most.

How To Join OGT Plus

I’m really excited about launching OGT Plus, because it has provided me with a way to offer more to my loyal and amazing readers. I hope you are as excited as I am, and I look forward to meeting you in the Inner Circle! :-)

  1. Are you ending the free Jillee One Good Thing? I’m not excited about paying a subscription fee. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it… I hope you don’t lose a ton of readers with this change. I, and I’m sure many others, cannot afford another monthly payment to add to the burden that many of us live with every day. That’s why I started reading OGT in the first place…to find ways to save $ and stop using toxic products by making my own! Plus, all of the added benefits of recipes, bright ideas, crafts, etc. I’m very sad to see this.

    • Kim, no, we are NOT ending the free version of the blog. That will go on just as before. This is simply an option we are offering for those who have asked us for it. Please feel free to continue enjoying OGT by Jillee the same way you have in the past!

    • No, she is not ending her free posts! Please read her entire blog.

  2. Sorry, I’ll have to pass. There’s already no cable, lattes, etc in my budget.

    • Hi mdoe37, don’t worry, you’ll still be able to enjoy the site for free! And I’ll be publishing new posts each and every day, just as I have for years. Thank you so much for reading! :-)

  3. I am also in the UK and have enjoyed your hints & Tips for a few years now. I also fail to see how residents outwith the U,S A wi!! benefit.
    I am a pensioner on a limited income so can not afford unnecessary
    extras. Such a shame that everything comes down to money :-((

    • Nancy, believe it or not, this is not all about money. We have people email us almost every day asking for more ways to view, share, and interact with our blog. That is why this was created. If you are not interested, nothing will change.

  4. Just to be clear, the Jillee One Good Thing that I know and love will be ending?
    You will now offer basically the same thing for a fee?

    • Christine, I’m sorry I did not make it clear that One Good Thing by Jillee is NOT ending. Nothing is going to change for people who do not sign up for OGT Plus. It is an option, not a requirement.

    • NO!!!! She will still be offering the same free blog site she has had for years!! Please read her entire post!!

  5. Sorry, not feeling your excitement Jillee. The discounts won’t be any good in the uk, will they. I can put up with the ads or use an ad blocker. I don’t need any more ebooks. I’m thinking of leaving facebook. I save links to your articles in Evernote. I know this has grown into a business for you, over the years so is the next logical step to ensure an income but as somebody else said, please don’t pretend that you are doing this primarily for us. It would have been better to be honest about the business side of things.

    • Lynda, I’m sorry you took my message as insincere, but it absolutely was not. I am not pretending that people email almost daily asking for the things that these memberships offer. If you are not interested then by all means, continue to enjoy the blog for free. That will never change. This is an option. Nothing more.

  6. Well, I am disappointed. I live in Canada, so the “discounts” would not be applicable to me. Plus I already pay over $70 a month for my cable access to allow me to see your blogs. I am a senior on a fixed income, and cannot afford more just to see your writings. It is, of course, your right to do this, but I feel it will negatively impact many of your followers.

    • I have the same concerns. I doubt there will be discounts for Canadians, so no point in paying for a membership that has no benefit for me. Sorry to see you go.

      • She’s not going anywhere!!!! The free blog will still be available to ALL!!! PEOPLE, PLEASE READ!!!

    • Nancy, I just wanted to make it clear that nothing will change unless you are interested in the membership program. You can still access the content for free just like before.

  7. You want to express gratitude to your readers ….. by charging them. Oh yes. I feel your gratitude. I get that you have bills to pay and I’m not at all opposed to you doing this. But don’t try to pass it off as doing something for us. When you express gratitude you’re supposed to give something not get something.

    • I’m sorry you feel that way Barbara. You might have misunderstood however. I’m not taking anything away. The site will still be completely free to anyone who is fine with viewing it with advertising. The membership is completely optional.

    • What’s up with you people? Did you even read her entire post???!!! She’s not taking anything away from what she has been offering all these past years. If you don’t want to go with the Plus, then don’t. Stay with the free OGT that has been such a help to all of us. Nothing is changing there. I would say we need to be appreciative that she is not changing anything for people who don’t need, don’t want and/or can’t afford to subscribe to the Plus site. Let’s stop being so snarky. It’s her prerogative if she wants to offer something more to her audience. Ever hear of free speech and freedom of the press?? Sheesh!!

  8. I’ve been using ‘Ghostery’ for a few years now.It prevents ads from popping up and it’s free.I’m really pleased with it.

    • Lesley, I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope you’ll consider unblocking ads on our site, since revenue from those ads allows me to support my team and their families. Thank you so much for reading :-)

  9. I am also curious about the benefits of a membership for non US residents

    • Hi Bev, If you don’t live in the US you can still benefit from OGT Plus by experiencing the site without ads, accessing the growing eBook library, participating in the Inner Circle and saving your favorite posts. I will make sure I try and find deals that are redeemable by those outside the US as well.

      If you don’t want to join though, no problem! I will continue to offer the content on my site for free, as I have for years.

      Please log in or create a free account to comment.
      • Thanks so much for replying. I am also very sorry that there is so much negativity. People sit behind their mobile devices and say nasty things that they wouldn’t say to someone face to face and I am truly sorry that such a wonderful giving person like yourself is hurt by this.
        I wish you much luck and success in your new adventure and I am so happy that you are continuing with your regular blog as well.
        This Canadian senior loves you ❤️

  10. Sorry but I cannot see any advantage to those who do not live in America, I am in Australia.

    • Hi Lady Suzane, If you don’t live in the US you can still benefit from OGT Plus by experiencing the site without ads, accessing the growing eBook library, participating in the Inner Circle and saving your favorite posts. I will make sure I try and find deals that are redeemable by those outside the US as well.

  11. Will there be any value in joining OGT Plus for those of us who do not live in the USA? I think that being able to bookmark posts will be great but I can’t imagine any discounts would work for us here in the UK

    Please log in or create a free account to comment.
    • Same here, I’m in the UK. I bookmark all the posts I want to save and keep them in a separate email folder. It’s no more bother to search that than it is to google for something in the first place.

      Please log in or create a free account to comment.
      • Hi Janie, you’re absolutely right! If that works for you, then I say keep doing that. No need to join Plus if you don’t see value in what’s being offered.

    • Hi Louise, That is a great question! You’re correct that some of the deals may not be redeemable by those outside of the US, I’ll be sure to try and find deals that are.

  12. How much money? Why does it always go this way? I’m finding it hard to live what I’m getting now. I’m sorry. Don’t mean to be negative but it’s life! Thank you for your help in the past!

    • Hi Arlene, thank you for your comment, it’s important to me to know how my readers feel. This will not replace any of the free content I’ve created or will continue to create every day here at One Good Thing by Jillee.
