## Key Features

- Goal-first onboarding wizard: authors select their primary goal (build email list, find ARC readers, run newsletter swaps, sell direct) and the UI adapts accordingly — no feature paralysis.
- AI-powered partner matching: weekly smart recommendations for newsletter swap and cross-promotion partners based on genre, list size, and engagement history.
- Unified Reviewer Portal: ARC distribution with Reliability Scores, invisible watermarking, and automated check-in sequences to maximize launch-day review counts.
- Reader Passport: readers maintain a portable profile across all ReaderMagnet authors, enabling a community layer that BookFunnel and StoryOrigin lack entirely.
- Visual Campaign Builder: A/B test landing pages, cover variants, and email subject lines with full conversion tracking.
- Native email drip sequences: built-in automation so authors do not need a separate MailerLite or Mailchimp account for basic sequences.
- Karma Score enforcement: authors who fail to fulfill newsletter swap commitments are automatically deprioritized or removed from the partner pool.
