Looking for 5 paid Ghost newsletters for a free revenue audit

Greetings,I’m looking for feedback from a few paid Ghost newsletter operators.

I’m testing one question:

Which posts bring subscribers who actually stick around, not just people who churn?

I built a small report for Ghost newsletters that looks at posts, members, attribution, and subscription pricing to show:

- which content appears to attract your highest-value subscribers
- which posts may be bringing low-quality signups
- what the data suggests publishing more or less of
- where there isn’t enough data to draw confident conclusions

I’m looking for 5 paid Ghost operators to run it for free.

How it works:

- I’ll send you a private link
- you enter your Ghost site URL and a temporary read-only Ghost Admin API key
- it takes about 2 minutes
- the key is used only to generate the report and is never stored

No sales pitch. I’m trying to learn whether this kind of report is useful enough that paid newsletter operators would want to run it monthly.

If you run a paid Ghost newsletter and are open to trying it, reply here or DM me with your publication.

Quick safety note: there is no read-only admin api key. For posts, a contributor staff token comes close, but that won’t provide the functionality described.

Thanks Cathy, you’re right. I worded that incorrectly.

Ghost custom integration Admin API keys aren’t granular read-only keys. What I should have said is: Subloop uses a temporary Ghost custom integration key, only uses it server-side for the report run, does not store it, and the operator can delete the integration immediately afterward.

A contributor staff token wouldn’t give the member/subscription/attribution access needed for this report, so the custom integration key is still the practical path — but I agree the “read-only” wording was inaccurate.

Appreciate the correction.

I’m interested, but have a question: How do you tie specific posts to member value? By which posts lead someone to sign up? I can already see that in the admin side.

If, OTOH, you can figure out which posts get read the most by members and not guests, that would be very helpful. I’m trying to do that now with some custom code and the analytics service I use, but it’s pretty manual.

Hi,
If the report only showed “which post caused the signup,” Ghost already gives you a lot of that.

What I’m looking at with Subloop today is the next layer, which signup-source posts brought subscribers who were actually worth keeping — paid conversion, subscribed value, and retention, not just signup volume.

Your member-vs-guest read question is a really good adjacent signal. The current report doesn’t pull that directly from Ghost today, but it would add another layer: what your actual members keep coming back to.

I’d still start with the subscriber-value audit, because it answers a different question than Ghost Admin: not just who signed up from what, but which signup sources led to quality subscribers.
