Run your creator business smarter, not harder
Smart Recommendations is a feature that automatically recommends Creator Network creators with similar creator types and topics.
It works differently depending on whether you're on our free Newsletter Plan or our paid plans:
For Newsletter Plan users
If you're a Newsletter Plan user, you'll have Smart Recommendation slots, which automatically recommend creators offering content similar to yours. These creators may be using:
Free Recommendations, where the creators are seeking voluntary recommendations without offering monetary incentives in return, or
Paid Recommendations, where the creators are offering to pay for quality subscribers.
When your subscribers see the creators you've recommended via Smart Recommendations, they may subscribe to these creators' email lists.
Since Smart Recommendations automatically choose creators to recommend to your audience, you save time from doing this yourself. You can even enable Smart Recommendations for all your Recommendation slots if you'd like!
Smart Recommendations are enabled by default and cannot be turned off. This means that of the maximum five Recommendations you can display at once, the last one will be a locked Smart Recommendation slot:
To disable the locked Smart Recommendation slot and have full customization control over your Recommendations, you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan.
NOTE: Kit will keep 100% of any Paid Recommendations earnings generated via Smart Recommendations. This helps us provide the Newsletter Plan to you for free.
For paid plan users
All paid plan users in the Creator Network are eligible to be recommended via Smart Recommendations. These Smart Recommendations come from Newsletter Plan users offering content similar to yours.
And you don't have to do anything to get new subscribers via Smart Recommendations. Just sit back and watch as these subscribers come your way!
