New creator partnerships and subscribers await

With the Creator Network, you can recommend creators for your subscribers to check out—and receive recommendations from other creators in turn! It's a fantastic way of partnering with fellow creators and growing each other's email lists together. 🤝

So, if you want in on the action, let's dive into:

You can find your Creator Network settings by clicking the Grow tab in the top navigation, followed by Recommendations.

After that, complete these five easy steps to join the Creator Network!

Your Creator Profile is a one-page summary of who you are as a creator. It also features your email content, links, and products.

Subscribers will see the creator name, profile picture, and bio you've set up for your Creator Profile when other creators recommend you, so confirm the text and images that should be displayed for these.

Click Next when you're happy with your Creator Profile information.

Don't worry too much about getting your Creator Profile bio perfect the first time—you can always update it later! We recommend making it short, clear, and specific as to what you do.

Choose up to three options from the list of creator types provided:

Setting up your creator types helps us match you with similar creators, as they will be used in the Creator Network as filters. This way, you can be recommended by others like you more easily!

Again, click Next when you're ready to move to the next step.

Similarly, select the topics you cover as a creator. You can choose up to three options here.

After that, click the Next button.

To be recommended by fellow creators in the Creator Network, you'll need to recommend them too. So here, choose the Forms and Landing Pages on which you want to display your Recommendations.

These Recommendations will appear right after a person has subscribed via your Form or Landing Page.

You can enable Recommendations on all your Forms and Landing Pages, or just selected ones. However, you will need to select at least one Form or Landing Page to be eligible to join the Creator Network.

Click Next when you've selected the Forms and/or Landing Pages on which you want to display your Recommendations.

Last but not least, you'll be directed to the Discover page for selecting creators to recommend! You'll need to recommend at least one creator before others can recommend you.

You can recommend up to 100 creators at once, but we will randomly select up to five for recommending on your Forms and Landing Pages at any one time.

The creators you recommend also need not be the creators who have recommended you (although they can be!)

You're recommending at least one creator? Then congratulations. You're officially part of the Creator Network. 🌐

The Recommendations you've set up using the steps above are Free Recommendations in the sense that the creators aren't offering referral incentives.

Once you've added at least one Free Recommendation, you can set up Paid Recommendations where the creators you recommend will pay you for each successful referral!

View reports of the creators you've recommended—and the number of subscribers you've sent their way—by clicking the My Recommendations page in the Creator Network settings:

Preview how your Recommendations will appear to subscribers who have just joined your email list by clicking the Preview button.

Use the Creators tab in the left sidebar to add or remove your Free and Paid Recommendations.

Meanwhile, the Settings tab lets you update the Forms and Landing Pages on which you want to display your Recommendations, and manage your Paid Recommendations settings in SparkLoop.

Finally, the Recommendations switch lets you turn all your Recommendations on or off at once.

On the Creator Network settings' Recommended By page, you can view reports of creators who have recommended you and the number of subscribers you've gained from these Recommendations.

The Creator Profile tab in the right sidebar displays your Creator Profile profile picture, name, and bio. Click the Edit Profile button to update these, or the Preview button to preview your full Creator Profile.

You can also click the Settings tab in the right sidebar to update your creator type and topics.

Finally, the Recommendations switch lets you turn on or off all the Recommendations you've received from other creators at once.

If you no longer want to give or receive Recommendations, toggle the Recommendations switch on the Recommended By, My Recommendations, or Discover pages to the "Off" position.

You can also exit the Creator Network using either of these options:
