The shiny (and soon to be) new SR Referral Program
Posted by: Peter under General, NewsFriday Sep 7th, 2007 at 9:09 am
We’ve been quietly working on our very first referral program based on some feedback from SharedReviewers. We’re hoping to release a base structure by the end of the week, and add to it over the coming few weeks. Here’s how it’ll work:
First Release:
1) A new field will be added to the signup page that allows new signups to enter the nickname of someone who referred them. If a new signup indicates someone referred them, they will automatically receive a free review credit towards their first 5 approved review payout.
2) A snippet of code will be available so you will be able to embed a button on your blog / website for new users to signup. Anyone clicking the button will get a custom SR signup page with your nickname built into the page as the referrer.
3) Anyone who referrs a new signup will be entitled to review credits based on the following milestones that could earn up to $8 for each person referred:
- - 3 Real Approved Reviews = 1 review credit
- 10 Real Approved Reviews = 1 review credit
- 25 Real Approved Reviews = 1 review credit
- 40 Real Approved Reviews = 1 review credit
4) Even though we’ve placed an individual $100 cap on review earnings, there will be NO CAP on referrer earnings until the $10,000.00 beta cash drawer is empty!
Coming Soon
1) An invite tool that will allow you to message your contacts to invite them through the site
2) A tracking page that will give you the ability to view all your referrals and their approved review totals
