How to use Direct Links for Grow and Monetize Boosts
Boosts Direct Links offer a powerful way to maximize both audience growth and monetization. These links allow you to promote Boosts on virtually any platform, including social media, newsletters, forums, and other advertising channels.
Boosts function as a two-sided marketplace:
- Grow publishers use Boosts to acquire new, verified subscribers.
- Monetize publishers promote other newsletters and earn revenue for each verified signup.
A Boost Direct Link works like an affiliate link, directing users to the boosted publication’s landing page. Signups through the link are attributed to your publication, ensuring you either pay or get paid based on the Boost offer CPA for each verified subscriber.
- On the Monetize side: You earn revenue for every verified subscriber who signs up through your Direct Link.
- On the Grow side: You only pay for verified, engaged subscribers while benefiting from new acquisition opportunities.
