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.

  1. Pitch: a sentence or two shown next to your newsletter in partners' widgets.
  2. 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.
  3. Audience: who you want to reach, and who can recommend you (everyone, good-fit newsletters, or partners you approve).
  4. Locations: worldwide, the US only, or a list of countries to allow or block.
  5. Quality check: Standard or Premium. See how the quality check works.
  6. Welcome email: make sure new readers get a good first email.
  7. Test subscriber: send yourself through the flow to check it works.
  8. Funds: add enough balance for at least one subscriber.
