How it works
One reward. Personal links. A reason to share.
Launch a program you can stand behind, then make it easy for listeners to tell a friend why they should press play.
Save, review, and go live
Add your show and choose a reward you can deliver. Review your listener page, then choose Go live when you are ready.
Let ambassadors share
Listeners join your refer.fm page, share their own links, and earn rewards as they bring new people to your show.
Built for a real launch
Set the offer before you put it in front of listeners.
Owners choose a program format, fill in the reward details, save a valid program, and then decide when it goes public.
- Milestones reward every ambassador who reaches a referral goal.
- Leaderboards create a time-bound push for your top referrers.
- Your public refer.fm page stays closed until you choose Go live.
For the people who recommend you anyway
Give your ambassadors a link worth sharing.
Refer-O-Matic gives listeners one public refer.fm destination and a personal link they can share wherever your community already gathers.
A referral is credited when a new visitor follows an ambassador's link and taps a listening option, subject to duplicate and activity checks. It measures referral actions, not verified listens. See how referrals are counted.

What is the difference between milestones and a leaderboard?
Milestones are ongoing reward tiers: each ambassador earns when they reach a referral goal. A leaderboard is a time-bound contest where a set number of top referrers win after the end date.
When can listeners join the referral program?
You can save and review valid program details while the program is paused. Listeners can join only after you explicitly choose Go live.
How do ambassadors share the show?
Each ambassador gets a personal refer.fm link to share with friends, followers, and their podcast community. Refer-O-Matic attributes referrals back to the ambassador.
What happens after the trial?
Your trial starts when you first Go live and lasts 14 days or 100 referrals, whichever comes first, with no card required. Continue with Starter at $29/month or Pro at $49/month when the trial ends.
