Today, I would like to highlight a great feature in Substack that few small publications (like mine) benefit from.

Subscriber Referrals.

Let me help you discover this feature in 4 steps:

1. Head over to my referral program at https://cloudnativeengineer.substack.com/leaderboard
2. Copy your unique referral link to my newsletter.
3. Share it on social media, in your newsletter, or anywhere you have people reading your work.
4. Reap the benefits the more subscribers you refer.

Small caveat: substack newsletter recommendations are not counted in the referral program.

Cloud Native Engineer has a great 3-tier referral with the following rewards:

1. 5 referrals = 1 month paid subscription
2. 15 referrals = 3 months paid subscription
3. 30 referrals = 20-minute free mentoring session to explore your career goals
