Paid Recommendations
The easiest way to monetize your newsletter
Recommend amazing newsletters to your subscribers.
Get paid when they become happy readers.
Let our Smart Recommendations Algorithm figure out which newsletters your audience will love. Or go old-school and choose publications to recommend manually.
Add our Upscribe recommendations widget to your website with two clicks. Each new subscriber to your newsletter will get personalized recommendations after opt-in. Guaranteed to maximise your earnings.
Boost newsletter revenue by featuring paid recommendations in your email sends, using partner links or our one-click Magic Link feature.
You'll make an extra $2-3 per new subscriber on average. That's $thousands (or $millions) in easy extra revenue... earned in a way your existing audience will love!
Our SRO algorithm does all the hard work of choosing recommendations and optimizing them for you dynamically based on performance.
You just sit back, relax, and let us boost your earnings over time.
Discover 10,000+ newsletters to recommend (and be recommended by) for free. Create a "sharing pod" of complementary newsletters and all grow together!
