Measuring newsletter tools creator installs

I do not measure a newsletter tool influencer campaign by vanity views. A 10k-growth carousel with no send.

What I actually want in the spreadsheet: unique signup links, not a screenshot of ‘10k subs’ that is not yours. The conversion I am willing to talk about is signups to a live paid or free newsletter product, unique link. I will not invent a CPI, a ROAS, or a customer who does not exist.

Promo codes are a floor

Give each creator their own code. Unique custom codes in App Store Connect or Play Console if this is an app, unique links or Shop codes if this is a SKU, unique signup links if this is SaaS. You will want this when you later try to decide repeat, Spark, or stop.

Codes are a floor, not payroll. Plenty of people will tap through and never type the string. Do not run a Product Hunt day on the same morning if you wanted isolation.

Views are a sourcing filter

I still want roughly 50k average views on the creator I am about to email. That is economics going in, not measurement coming out. Below that they quote $700 a post for 1k views. That’s a money sink.

A Minimum View Guarantee is a deal floor. Example: $2000 / 4 posts / 1M views. It is not UA. Signups to a live paid or free newsletter product, unique link.

What I will not put on a slide

No fake CPI. No invented ROAS. No “the campaign did 4.2x.” If you need paid social numbers, that is Ads Manager, a different invoice.

A working send they can do with 10 test subscribers tonight.

Skip the 200k creator-economy guru whose last 10 posts are course ads about newsletters they do not send. even if their views look pretty. Substack-cut rants already have the audience; a send they can do from a markdown box is the product.

No download guarantee. No demo. Talent extra. Scout $1,500 / Outreach $2,500 / Dealmaker $5,000.
