Following up from @cryptogee's post about having a tag series for great Steemit ideas!
alt text
To summarise the article, @crytpogee would like an easter egg payout system that would give the content creator a reward 7 days from the creation date and but also a few months later, provided the article was being recognised, commented and voted upon after the 7 day window. This would mean that content that is still valuable after the 7 day window would be duly rewarded!

My problem

Isn't really a problem. Just a bonus. As my account is still in its infancy, I am struggling to gain traction. A referral system that paid out in Steem Power would really give a great incentive for new users to invite others. Then, once they receive their Steem Power, their interaction on Steemit would carry more affect and they would be more likely to carry on using the network as they feel their interactions are valuable.

Right now, I feel that I don't have much say in what goes on here. I am trying to put together interesting thoughts, my ideas and reactions to events in the crypto world. But as yet, I have not had any significant rewards.

In saying that I will persist! I I believe in steemit.com and when I have enough dollarydoos ($AUD) I will buy some more Steem and convert it to Steem Power!

What

Referrals. Just a bonus bit of Steem Power when you invite someone to Steemit.com

How

The moment they begin to interact on steemit.com, you get a reward of 5 Steem Power.

Why

So that people have a great incentive to spread the word about steemit.com. It will encourage users to explain to others on old social sites why steemit is revolutionising the way we socialise.

When

Now! Leggooooo!

Anyhow, let me know your thoughts. Hit up the tag #ifiwereadev with your ideas and lets make steemit more great. Again.

Peace, Love and Light

I agree a referral system would work wonders here to encourage new users.

I have started to post on FB about steemit, and really told a few good friends in detail. But I feel like I could really become a proper affiliate if I was rewarded for the effort, ya know @davidalexander?

so after the resteem button goes away and somebody shares the link to the page does that count to this referral system ? I think it's a fantastic Idea if a topic that helps many is still floating around still helping new steamians should be rewarded in kind :)

If you could track links to the OP then yeah that would be awesome! No idea how the code would go though... Maybe we need a tag for new steemians..?
