RE: Does steemit need a referral reward system? Recruit a Friend to steemit - CONTEST PROPOSAL?
Great initiative!! Love this, the main problem here is once u have recruited how do u get the whales to up torte new members and the recruiters to reward them for joining? It needs to be focuses as much on letting the whales know about it as iris about recruiting new members. So u should develop this plan and start a promotion campaign within steemit to obtain the support of the ones with the steem power while simultaneously beginning the recruitment campaign
Unless steemit builds a full-on referral scheme into the core, which I suspect is very unlikely for the timebeing, some sort of jerry-rigged system like this will remain best-in-show.
I wonder whether the best way to refine this idea is to try it out for a month. Or has it got to many leaks and holes that it would be exploited to death on its first outing?
How do you catch a whale on a project like this?
This litterally needs one whale dedicated to upvoting people bringing new users in. It is probably worth trying some sort of trial for a month, but it will be very difficult to get many people using it, let alone get new recruits. I guess if you publicise this long enough and to the right people you can have a launch recruitment week where everyone starts recruiting together at the same time. thisway you may not have an immediate results, but will be able to build up to the big even on steemit. if that is successful, I am sure it will get significant traction then, and maybe even a modification built into the steemit interface in some way.
At the moment all i do is tell people i speak to that I will upvote them if they join and mention my name in their intro blog...
