I added a simple self-made affiliate system. It had two implementations. One allowed to purchase 10 or 20 "accounts" in bulk, resell for any price you want. And the other one meant that if two other people signed up for a free account, your account was moved up to the second level (basic, premium, pro). Once one of your referred accounts upgraded, then your account was moved up to the highest tier.
I implemented that over a weekend and it took off dramatically after that.
- dinkleberg 5y agoThat’s interesting. Did you find both implementations were effective or was one more useful than the other?
- mittermayr 5y agoDepends a bit on the clientele you're serving I guess. At first, the referral part (encourage others to upgrade your account) worked very well, I saw people either onboarding their other accounts, friends' accounts, or just heading straight to Twitter to let everyone know they're recommending the service (so their account would upgrade for free). So that brought users. The "buy in bulk" was silent for a while, until a few freelance social-media managers discovered that they could buy account slots for their clients in bulk here, and then charge their clients for that plus a fee on top (which I didn't regulate). So that surely brought the biggest chunks of purchases albeit irregularly so.
