Hey! This post will focus on some ideas/features I have thought of to make Minnowbooster's Referral Program more rewarding and easy to use for all involved! Not a part of Minnowbooster yet? Click here to use my ref link for an extra 0.5% earnings! :)

List of Suggestions tl;dr

• Referral stats (must have)
• Launch a video competition (Steemit users might not be interested in selling votes, we need non-Steemit users)
• Custom links (might be useful for big content creators)
• Referral leaderboards (some fun + incentive + let users see potential of platform)
• Referral competitions (some fun + incentive)
• Add referrer button (really just for some old customers including myself)

Referral Stats

Basically, I'd like to see statistics! The user I referred, when I referred them, how much have I made from them recently (daily/weekly) and how much I've made from them all time! Also, options to sort each column would be nice, like by date, most made recently and most made all time! I've made an example below!

• Sort by date (default)
  
• Sort by lowest to highest earning
  
• Obviously, have your presentation better than mine!

Launch a video comp

Ask users to submit quick (2-5 min videos) on how to use Minnowbooster and Steemit for new users! Many Steemit users are not interested in selling their votes, they need their vote power! MB's advertising audience should be towards NON-STEEMIT USERS who are looking to invest in Steem for a passive income.

The video should include:

• How to register on Steemit
• How to send Steem from Binance
• How to register on Minnowbooster
• How to sell your vote
• Earning potential of selling votes on Steemit
• HOW GREAT THE STEEM BLOCKCHAIN IS (optional)

All user made videos should be rewarded with something like double referral money earned for a year or something like that, this way if they bring customers to MB through their video, they'd feel rewarded even if they don't win the comp! They should be rewarded as any video is helping spread awareness of Steemit and Minnowbooster, and any referrals they make is testimony to this notion thus doubling referral rewards make sense! The comp winner with the best video (to be decided how to be decided) should win extra SBD/Steem rewards for promoting Minnowbooster!

Custom links

Instead of just having your numbers at the end, perhaps let users add (maybe up to 3?) custom links they can choose. For example, instead of just https://www.minnowbooster.com/referral/54106, perhaps have https://www.minnowbooster.com/referral/54106/customlink1!

Referral leaderboards

• Shows the earning potential of Minnowbooster (most important part)
• Could attract users from OUTSIDE STEEMIT
• This sounds like a fun bit of incentive for people to show-off their achievements
• Let users choose to have their name shown or not shown on leaderboards
• Have normally earned (normal earned through vote referrals) and actually earned (includes prizes from competitions like video making competition)

Referral Competitions

• Actually reward those who actively help boost minnowbooster (see what I did there?)
• Rewards for a randomly chosen user every 10 ranks, this spreads out the rewards so even small contributors will feel rewarded for helping!
• For example, one person from top 10 gets 100SBD, 1 person from 11-20 gets 50SBD and so on

Add referrer button

I've referred a couple of people who are currently actively selling votes on Minnowbooster and a few people who have minnowbooster accounts already but aren't selling votes (yet). These people won't become my referrals :( I am sad.

Surely, there are others with more lost than me, perhaps referring big users onto the platform and losing out on potential earnings.

However, this should only be a short-term thing. In the future, perhaps a one time popup upon first login to add a referrer, otherwise just let the default referrer be cryptoeater or something ;)

I have to go now! I'll make a follow-up post if I have more suggestions or this gets some attention, I'll try reply to comments but I'm sleeping soon! :)
