Referral Program
Grow your newsletter by rewarding subscribers who refer others.
How Referrals Work
Each subscriber gets a unique referral link. When someone subscribes through that link:
- The referrer gets credit
- They progress toward milestones
- You can reward them for their referrals
Setting Up Referrals
- Go to Growth → Referrals
- Enable the referral program
- Customize your referral page text
- Set up milestones and rewards (optional)
Referral Links
Each subscriber's referral link looks like:
https://yournewsletter.dailydraft.ai/subscribe?ref=abc123
Subscribers can find their link:
- In the footer of each newsletter
- On their subscriber profile page
- Via the referral widget in emails
