Launched Proof - a free tool for newsletters
by Louis NichollsToday we launched a new, free tool to help newsletter creators convert more visitors into subscribers...
You can use it to increase trust and easily display subscriber metrics anywhere on your website...
✅ use it as social proof
✅ quick, no-code install
✅ auto-updates (no more updating by hand)
For now it only works if your newsletter uses ConvertKit, but more ESPs should be coming soon...

Why build this?
This is our first attempt at 'product marketing'. We noticed that displaying subscriber metrics on a newsletter landing page is a really useful way of increasing conversion rates, but many newsletter creators don't do it because it's a pain to have to update the numbers manually.
By giving away this useful tool for free, we hope that it makes it easier for us to identify newsletter creators who would really benefit from the 'main' SparkLoop product, so we can start a conversation with them about trying it out.

Looking good! Here: https://tomaslau.com/newsletter/
However, can't figure out how to use it within a paragraph :/

Oh dear! That is our fault. The default code snippet to insert looks like this...
<div data-sl-proof></div>If you want to include it inside of a paragraph, it should work if you just copy and paste...
<span data-sl-proof></span>Inside of the paragraph instead.
Let me know if you need any help with that!

@louisswiss now it's better. One more thing, could you set "display:inline;"? Thank you!

Hey Tomas, the display should be inline automatically. Are you having problems with that?

@louisswiss weird, it renders as inline-block here: https://tomaslau.com/newsletter/

How's the launch of this going so far?

The 'real' SparkLoop product is going really well.
This free version hasn't seen the uptake we'd hoped for (yet), but it's early days and we haven't told many people about it yet. It's ConvertKit only (for now), which means it can't be used by a lot of newsletter creators who would love to use it but aren't using ConvertKit to send their emails.
