Hey HN,

Excited to share Firewards with you! Firewards overcomes the technical hurdle to implement a referral program for your newsletter. It synchronizes with your newsletter provider (e.g. Mailchimp) so you can send out individual referral links and the current referral count to your subscribers. Each link directs them to a customizable page where they can check their current status and how many referrals they need in order to get rewarded.

My experience running referral systems shows that referrals from your own subscribers is one of the most powerful ways to grow your audience. Especially at Token Daily we saw huge growth after implementing a referral system. I've always wanted to create a product out of the custom systems I built over the past 4 years. Now I am finally making it available for everybody!

If you are familiar with the referral systems from Morning Brew or The Hustle - This is what Firewards does!

Let me know what you think!

WOAH, this solves a huge problem. I'm in the early stages of building my newsletter, and the biggest problem is getting subscribers. Having a way to actively get current subscribers to be invested in getting me new subscribers is awesome :)

This is decent -- any idea if & when you'll start supporting Mailerlite?
