The amount of low quality and downright fraudulent applications on Boosts is out of control. We exclusively use SparkLoop now. It’s gotten to the point where I see newsletters recommending with Boosts and think… “why weren’t you accepted to SparkLoop?”

FAQs

Is Upscribe really free to use?
Plus icon

Yes! You can create a publication and be recommended for free across Upscribe and our recommendations network. It's also free to use Upscribe to recommend other newsletters (both free and paid).

For paid recommendations, SparkLoop withholds a 20% commission plus small processing fee on your monthly payouts.

Does Upscribe work with my email platform?
Plus icon

Upscribe works with nearly all "pro" newsletter platforms via a 2-click, no-code integration. For ESPs we don't yet support, please contact our support to learn about custom integration options (where a small amount of coding is required).

Unfortunately Upscribe is not compatible with beginner platforms like Substack, SendFox or Ghost (yet) — they don't yet have the necessary functionality and API to support advanced growth tools like SparkLoop.

Can I customise my Upscribe widget/where it appears?
Plus icon

Yes! You can fully customise your Upscribe widget and where it appears on your website.

How many newsletters can I recommend at once?
Plus icon

You can choose unlimited newsletters to recommend. Both free and paid. We will show up to five of them in your Upscribe widget at once, and automatically optimise which recommendations to show so you get the best results.

Can I see which subscribers came from which recommender in my ESP?
Plus icon

Yes! When a new subscriber is referred to your newsletter via Upscribe, we automatically store the ID of the recommending publication as a custom field in your ESP. So you can send them a custom welcome email or segment them however you please.

Can I invite other newsletters to recommend me? What if they use a different ESP?
Plus icon

Yes — you'll grow fastest via Upscribe when you invite other newsletters you already know to partner up with you and recommend each other. It doesn't matter if you're using different email platforms. As long as they're compatible with Upscribe, you can recommend to each other no problem!

Why is the quality of subscribers from Upscribe so high?
Plus icon

Upscribe has been in private development for months. Whereas other platforms like Substack rushed out their own recommendations networks with a focus on vanity metrics, Upscribe has several unique features which ensure that — unlike other recommendations tools — subscribers referred via Upscribe are super high quality.

On average, subscribers acquired via Upscribe are ~10-20% more likely to stay engaged than even organic subscribers!

How much can I earn using Upscribe to recommend paid publications?
Plus icon

For most newsletter operators, the earning potential of Upscribe is life-changing. With zero ongoing work needed.

Can I export my data?
Plus icon

Yes! You can generate a full export from the dashboard anytime, no questions asked. We want you to use SparkLoop because it's the best growth platform for newsletters (2.3x better growth on average, to be precise) — not because we're holding you hostage!
