Run your creator business smarter, not harder
Smart Recommendations is a feature that automatically recommends Creator Network creators relevant to your audience, saving you time from doing this yourself.
If you're on a paid Kit plan, you can also be recommended via Smart Recommendations to other Creator Network creators' audiences, and get new subscribers from them.
Here's how Smart Recommendations helps you automatically recommend other creators and get recommended in turn.
Automatic recommending of other creators
When you join the Creator Network, you'll start with five Smart Recommendation slots, which automatically recommend creators offering content similar to yours.
Although Smart Recommendations automatically select creators to recommend for you, you can manually choose creators to recommend via Personal Recommendations. If you do this, we'll automatically replace your Smart Recommendation slots with your Personal Recommendations.
But if you're a Newsletter Plan user, you will have one locked Smart Recommendation slot, which cannot be changed.
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.
Being automatically recommended by other creators
Apart from recommending other creators via your Smart Recommendations, it's also possible for you to get featured in other creators' Smart Recommendations if you're on a paid Kit plan. You could then get new subscribers from these creators' audiences.
Here's how to view a report of the creators recommending you via Smart Recommendations, and how to manage these Smart Recommendations:
Go to the Recommending me page, and click the # others through Smart Recommendations row.
You'll see a report of the creators recommending you via Smart Recommendations.
At the top of the page are overall reports for:
Creators: The number of creators currently recommending you via Smart Recommendations.
Views: The number of users who have viewed Smart Recommendations of you on other creators' forms and landing pages.
Subscribers: The number of subscribers you've gotten via Smart Recommendations on other creators' forms and landing pages (including those who may have subsequently unsubscribed from your email list)
Conversion rate: The percentage of users who subscribed to your email list after viewing other creators' Smart Recommendations of you on their forms and landing pages, as calculated using this formula: Subscribers / Views x 100%
Below the overall reports, you'll see the following data for each creator recommending you via Smart Recommendations:
Creator name

Status: The Smart Recommendation's status
Recommending: The creator is currently recommending you (outside of Smart Recommendations)
Not recommending: This creator isn't recommending you (outside of Smart Recommendations)
