Introducing Refer-O-Matic, a referral tool for podcasters. Grow your audience by rewarding your fans for sharing your show.
Research shows that 92 percent of people trust recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues. That’s why referrals are such a powerful engine for growth.
We were inspired to build Refer-O-Matic after reading about how Morning Brew grew their audience 15x through a referral program. We think podcasters should have the same opportunity.
So, we built a referral engine for podcasters. Read more on Medium.
Up-to-date CSV of your referrers that includes key information to help you send rewards, import referrers to your newsletter, and keep track of your growth. You’ll see your referrers’ names, email addresses, their number of referrals, and unique referral links.
Refer-O-Matic automatically pays your listeners their cash rewards, and you’ll receive an invoice each month for the total. For non-cash rewards, you’ll get automatic alerts when your listeners reach their goals to make fulfillment easier.
"Growing your audience is about finding options that bring in new listeners for a good price, and Refer-o-matic is a great strategy. It is a way to empower our show's biggest fans to become our biggest promoters and rewards them along the way so everyone wins."

"I got paid to tell my friends about one of my favorite podcasts. This is awesome."
Referrals are counted towards a listener's goal when the listener shares their unique referral link with a new user and the user accesses the RSS feed in a podcast player.
Listeners receive (1) an email confirmation when they sign up, (2) email alerts each time a friend first accesses the podcast, and (3) an email alert when they receive a cash reward. Podcasters can customize these emails.
If you choose a cash reward, we’ll handle payouts for you. If you do something a little different like merch, listener shoutouts, or something else, we’ll give you the information you need to handle fulfillment on your own.
The world is your oyster! Here are some examples of rewards we’ve seen in action:
