We’re making it even easier for you to get paid to promote other creators in your Recommendations modal with Paid Recommendations. Now under the Earn tab, you’ll be able to more easily setup the integration with SparkLoop, and then discover a list of creators and newsletters who are looking for fellow creators to promote their list.

In the discover section of Paid Recommendations, you’ll be able to:

• Search for specific creators you’d like to promote and recommend
• Filter based on payout per subscriber, max payout, and expected earnings
• Review the requirements of each paid recommendation

No more bouncing between SparkLoop and ConvertKit. Don’t leave money on the table and start earning from the work you already do.

Set up Insights to get advanced analytics on how effective your marketing channels are with Creator Pro today. Insights will give you a much more comprehensive view of your...

• Best acquisition channels: A deep dive into how organic search or paid is working, which piece of content converts the best for you, and more.
• Most engaged segment: A month-to-month view of which segment continues to be the most engaged in your content.
• Best customers: Find out who your best customers are, how much it takes to acquire a customer, and which promotion emails generates the most sales.
• Marketing effectiveness: Take a look at how long it takes for a subscriber to turn into a customer. This helps you calculate how much advertising budget you have, and helps you hone in on where you should iterate your funnels.

This feature is still in a closed beta. If you've been invited, you'll see it in the top corner of your dashboard. Currently, only Commerce sales and Stripe integrations will be tracked.

Decide how you want the Recommendations flow to behave. We now have an auto-created page of your curated Recommendations that you can use as a page redirect after a subscriber joins your list. This is perfect for creators who are…

• Using third-party forms that don’t support the modal: You can now use Recommendations by setting up a page redirect and start growing your list with our network of creators.
• Save time from embedding code snippets: Don’t want to embed code snippets on all the pages that host your third-party form? You can also use this page to set up a page redirect after a subscriber joins your list.

We love to see the network growing and driving thousands of subscribers for active creators, and we want to continue to make that easier for more of you.

Simple and powerful updates to our email editor are here to improve your writing experience and your email marketing efforts.

• Slash menu: Easily add in blocks by typing in the slash / character to search and add the block you need as you're writing your email. No need to stop and hover over the + button.
• Custom CSS: Under each Section > Advanced of your email, you can set up custom CSS which you can later use to target in an HTML block. Particularly handy if you share your posts on your own website.
• Deliverability alert: When your email is too large, it risks being clipped by email clients, like Google, which affects the deliverability of your emails. Now, when you're drafting your email, you'll get an alert if it is over 100KB.

Keep writing and we'll keep delivering new updates that make that experience even better.

A native integration with Gravity Forms is here! Gravity Forms is a powerful WordPress form builder that create beautiful lead generation forms, accept online payments, create surveys and quizzes, or build custom forms for niche solutions!

With the ConvertKit Add-On by Gravity Forms you can automatically send all form entries to your ConvertKit dashboard, enabling you to easily grow and manage your email list. Here are some features the new add-on include...

• Custom Fields—Every field on your form can be mapped directly to a custom field in ConvertKit. Collect more information on your subscribers and use that data to deliver highly optimized campaigns.

• Tag Support—Keeping track of large number of subscribers can be quite a task to take on. By attaching tags to your subscribers, you can keep them organized, helping to provide a tailored content experience.

The ConvertKit Marketplace just keeps growing! We have more and more email templates designed by creators for creators in our network. In this most recent update, we've added new templates that you can purchase to elevate your newsletter styles.

• We want this to be an easy way for you to get started or rebrand your emails and newsletters faster.
• We also want to create a new revenue stream for creators to design templates and earn with our Marketplace.

For all Starting Point templates, we’ve rolled out the ability to add new sections to your Broadcasts and Sequences in your email editor. This will make it even easier and smoother for you to build out your email as you’re writing it. For any sections, you’ll be able to:

• Add new sections: Any new added sections will retain the same design preferences as the section you’re adding from. This is super helpful if you have a block-style email design.
• Duplicate sections: This will duplicate all the content within the section as well. This is super helpful if you want to reuse layouts you’ve already designed.
• Reorder sections: Not sure where you want your content? The arrow buttons make it easy for you to reorder how the content is laid out in your email. No need to recreate or copy and paste it over.
• Delete sections: Need to cut some content? Simple way to just delete a whole section. (Don’t worry! You can Command/CTRL+Z to undo and bring it back if you need to.)

As usual, we hope this makes building your email an even better experience. Go build out your next email broadcast!

Upgrades are coming to our email broadcasts! We have two major changes that'll make publishing newsletters easier and give you more insights into how your subscribers are interacting with your content.

• Deliver your content how you want: For any new broadcasts, you'll have a new publishing flow that allows you to deliver your broadcast, by sending it as an email to your subscribers, publishing it to the web, or both.

• Overview reporting: After your broadcasts has been sent or published, you'll now have a new overview of how your content is performing, including a preview of the content, total recipients, email analytics, and web analytics.

• New analytics tab: You'll see the results of any A/B testing you've done, full email metrics with an engagement funnel, and web metrics.

• New recipient tab: You'll be able to filter by subscribers who received the email, opened the email, clicked in the email, and unsubscribed from your list. You'll also be able to manage these segments with bulk actions.

• New clicks tab: You'll see an overview of all the links you had in your broadcast and the engagement on each link.

Dive deeper into the quality of subscribers you are gaining from Recommendations. In the new Subscribers tab, you'll be able to see the average open rate, average click rate, and the unsubscribe rate of the subscribers you've gained through Recommendations. With this new tab, you'll be able to:

• Assess the quality of these subscribers by comparing them to the subscribers of your other growth channels
• See specifically which subscribers were recommended by which creator
• Do bulk actions like add or remove a tag, add or remove from sequences, export, and delete to better manage your subscribers.

We just launched a new integration to help you optimize your email deliverability and meet upcoming Gmail & Yahoo requirements as easily as possible. With the Entri integration, you'll be able to set up your Verified Sending Domain (VSD) and DMARC records in just a few clicks.
