Explode your audience growth with a partner program

Partner with other newsletters and influencers, track how many new subscribers they send you and pay only for results.

We upgraded to SparkLoop because it's obviously the best referral software for media brands. But — honestly — the real game-changer for our audience growth has been SparkLoop's new Partner Program feature.

Your FAQs answered

How can I be sure I'm only paying for high-quality subscribers?
Plus icon

We use the same industry-leading anti-fraud in our Partner Programs that we developed for our Referral product.

You can also set custom conditions for what counts as a conversion. For example the subscriber might need to stay subscribed for at least 7-days and click on a link in one your emails to qualify.

The bottom line: if they aren't a genuine subscriber, you don't pay.

Can I have control over the wording my partners use?
Plus icon

We recommend you create a short document outlining any specific terms you'd like the partner to mention (or avoid) when recommending your newsletter.

And you can provide examples and graphics/images for them to use.

However the partner will have ultimate creative control over how they recommend your newsletter to their own audience.

This approach delivers the best results with the least work for you.

Who chooses how much I pay partners for each new subscriber?
Plus icon

The choice of how much to pay per new subscriber is completely up to you. You can change it at any time, including overriding for individual partners.

Normally this is in the $3 to $5 mark, however we've seen anything from $1 to $20+ be successful.

Remember: The higher your payout per subscriber, the more excited partners will be to work with you.

Can I set a fixed budget?
Plus icon

Setting a fixed monthly budget for your partner program isn't possible because each partner operates independently and you're paying only for results.

Instead, you can set a maximum (and minimum) payout cap for each partner. For example, you could stipulate that each partner's payouts will be capped at $1'000 per month — regardless of how many subscribers they send your way.

You can also shut off your partner program (for as long or short as you like) when you're close to exceeding your monthly budget.
