Keep agreed dates, insertion location, and confirmation status visible.
Move the swap sheet into your own spreadsheet without a login.
Use swaps carefully
A useful shoutout swap starts with audience fit and clear expectations. The tracker is meant to prevent missed dates and mismatched snippets, not to encourage cold spam or irrelevant recommendations.
- Record why the story fit is credible.
- Confirm date and chapter placement before launch week.
- Mark stale prospects instead of chasing every lead forever.
Keep the proof trail
Before a swap goes live, keep the snippet, agreed date, and contact channel in one place. After posting, mark confirmation so you know which relationships were reliable for future launches.
- Use notes for promised wording or content warnings.
- Export CSV before major edits.
- Check each community's current self-promotion rules.
What it will not do
It does not promise ranking outcomes, automate posting, store platform credentials, or replace checking the current rules of each community.
Trust boundaries
- No messages are sent by the tool.
- No fake reviews or mass outreach.
- No community rule bypassing.
