Ghost integration
Social Proof App for Ghost
Show readers who just subscribed, and more will follow
Ghost social proof for newsletters and member-supported publications. New member sign-ups and live reader counts appear as small notifications across your site, from one paste into Code Injection.
Who it's for
For writers and publishers growing an audience on Ghost
Independent newsletter writers
You write a weekly issue and your list is the business. A first-time reader needs a hint that thousands of others already open it every week.
Niche and local publications
Small newsrooms covering one city, industry or hobby. Live reader counts make a modest site feel like the place the conversation is happening.
Creators with paid tiers
Free members are the top of your funnel for premium posts. The more free sign-ups readers see, the bigger the pool you can convert later.
Problems we solve
Great writing doesn't show how many people read it
The problem
Readers finish the post and close the tab
Search and social visitors read one article, then vanish. A popup of someone subscribing a minute ago turns the signup box from a request into a crowd to join.
The problem
Your growth lives in the members dashboard
You watch the member graph climb, but readers never see it. A weekly member counter shares that momentum with the people deciding whether to subscribe.
The problem
The site feels quiet between issues
A publication can look dormant on the days you don't send. A "reading now" counter shows that the archive keeps drawing people in.
Ghost notifications
Ghost notifications that show readers are joining
New members, weekly sign-up totals, reader reviews and live reading counts. Add one script to your Ghost theme and choose where each one shows.
New members
Each subscription appears with a first name and city. Most effective at the end of popular posts.

FAQ
Social proof app for Ghost FAQ
How do I add WiserNotify to Ghost?
Paste the WiserNotify pixel into Settings → Code Injection → Site Header in Ghost admin and save. Notifications run across the publication once the pixel verifies.
Can I show new member sign-ups?
Yes. The pixel captures subscription form submits, so new members appear as live popups and can be added up into a weekly count.
Does it work on self-hosted Ghost and Ghost(Pro)?
Yes. Code Injection works the same way on both, and you don't need to edit your theme.
Will readers' names be public?
Only as much as you allow: show a first name, “Sarah M.”, initials or “Someone”.
Will it slow down my publication?
No. The pixel loads after the page, so articles appear before any notification does.
Is there a free plan for small newsletters?
No, but every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Basic is $59 a year for up to 5,000 monthly visitors.
