How do I see who signed up and where they came from?

Open a hosted reader magnet by clicking Readers on its card in Reader Magnets.

The Readers tab

The numbers at the top show how many people Signed up, Confirmed email, Downloaded and Joined your list.

Each reader has a status, such as:

  • Downloaded
  • Ready, not downloaded
  • Waiting to confirm (they haven't confirmed their email yet)
  • Link expired
  • Access removed (you removed it)
  • Switched off: shared (their link was used from too many networks)

Test sign-ups you make yourself are marked as tests and aren't counted.

Help or remove a reader

Open a reader's actions to:

  • Send a fresh link: emails them a new download link.
  • Remove access: their link stops working. Use Restore access to undo this. A reader whose access you removed stays removed even if they sign up again.
  • Delete this reader: removes them from the list.

Export your readers

Click Export CSV to download a spreadsheet with each reader's email, first name, sign-up date, source, confirmation, downloads, first download, whether they joined your list, and the answers to any extra questions on your form.

Track where sign-ups come from

On the Sign-up page tab, under referral links, you can make a separate link for each place you share the book, such as your newsletter, Threads or a promo.

  1. Type a name (up to 60 characters) and click Add link.
  2. Copy that link and use it in the matching place.

Each link shows its Clicks, Page views, Sign-ups and Downloaded. Clicks and page views can take up to five minutes to appear.

You can rename a link or pause it. A paused link shows a "paused" page instead of your sign-up page and keeps its counts. Links can't be deleted, so an old post never sends readers to someone else's page.

Short link and QR code

On the Sign-up page tab, choose Get a short link and QR code to get a shorter link and a QR code you can print on bookmarks or show at events.
