Launching your first campaign
The launch checklist, step by step.
Updated October 3, 2026 · 1 min read
Go to Grow → Campaigns and start a campaign. A checklist walks you through each step; you can launch once every step is done.
- Pitch: a sentence or two shown next to your newsletter in partners' widgets.
- Price and budget: what you pay per confirmed subscriber (CPA), a monthly cap, an optional cap per partner, and whether to spread spend evenly across the month.
- Audience: who you want to reach, and who can recommend you (everyone, good-fit newsletters, or partners you approve).
- Locations: worldwide, the US only, or a list of countries to allow or block.
- Quality check: Standard or Premium. See how the quality check works.
- Welcome email: make sure new readers get a good first email.
- Test subscriber: send yourself through the flow to check it works.
- Funds: add enough balance for at least one subscriber.
