Referrals come from readers, who share the publication using an URL or the Share button on any post, to friends and family who might subscribe. And readers who refer new people get rewards!
Recommendations come from Substack writers, who choose to share your publication with their new subscribers. Example: if publication X recommends my newsletter, when someone new subscribes to X, they will get a popup message asking if they also want to subscribe to Practice Space.
This is awesome Andrei, especially the Thank You in the inbox!
Even though I’m planning on paywalling just one of my sections, the Deep Dive section of my newsletter, I’ve also been trying to think of ways to reward both free and future paid subscribers who may share the newsletter. These are great ideas, though!
Thank you! Hopefully people will be interested enough in the rewards to share the newsletter. I really think a new section of micro essays could be fun.
Great idea! What’s the difference between referrals and recommendations?
Good question!

Hope that clears it up!

This seems like a good idea. My posts are free too and I wondered how this might work. I shall watch your pilot with interest!
You and me both! It’s an experiment, for sure.
I've got a good feeling about it....
Thanks a lot! That’s a very welcoming piece of encouragement.
