Hello Sir. @ned & Sir. @dan of the Great Republic of #steemit - You guys ROCK!

I would like to hear a bit more about the Steemit Referral program and how the #steem reward or #SBD reward will work. I am already pulling in a lot of people from all kinds of social media, so I am very curious about this, and I am sure other #steemit users as well, so if you could enlighten us on this topic it would be sweet! :)

I understand that my Referral URL is: http://www.steemit.com/?r=fyrstikken if that is correct?

Thank you - I am really looking forward to hear from you about this :D

We could start our own decentralised referral system... I proposed it a few days ago but it got lost everything 'hack' related:

tldr: People can post about who they referred, the community can then decide how much of a referral bonus to reward them by upvoting. Reasons, rationale and example in the post.

Does anyone have an update on this? I would love to see a referral program for this site..

I don't think it was ever implemented

Hee guys, I've discovered this great new website where you can earn a gazillions of monies! Come over and get sum!

If it's introduced I think the best would be a reward system per user something like 5 SP or there abouts. Amazon rapids growth was caused by it's affiliates, Steem will spread like wildfire with a referal system.

Yes, indeed, good question! I think it is crucial, but at the same time organic growth is better because, it brings longer term results, users will stick longer if they find the platform themself. I can see now that slowly we are picking up rank on search engines. Quality of posts getting better, which means, rank on search engines get even higher and then you will see flood of new users/artists/creators/entrepreneurs etc.

Regardless of when or how it gets added, ill still be going hard. But yea a referral program would literally make signups increase 10-100x so we need to be ready.

would love to know as well, how would the future referral system work. Thanks for providing the referral link to forward.

Be careful with referrals. I agree with poster that it will cause lots of inactive accounts. You want to someone to open an account, post, vote, get some rewards learn about the whales and steem power then buy steem. Referrals won't help as much as big dollar amounts on post that seem like they could have been written by anyone. If you have referral rewards it's much better to get a reward for posting a link to a high value post on Twitter Facebook linked I. Etc. and reward for that than reward for account openings.

the referral could be earned over time, sort of like how multi-tier marketing works, the referrer would get a piece of the referred's revenue for a certain amount of time. For example, 10% up to $1000 max that the referred makes. Something like that?

I wouldn't want to join if I became an indentured posting servant to the guy whose link I signed up with.

Yesssss!!!

I've been wondering about this, I have a bunch of friends that want to join but (as greedy as it sounds) don't really want them to join until the referral program is up and running xD .

Theres a few ways they can implement it:-
1.just a flat out SP amount per user
2.A small % of what they receive from blogging or curating
3.and ontop of it all this could work on a scaling system eg. first 10 invited is 2% next 10 is 4% ect ect.

good post!!!!!

So much love on this right now, would really like to know before I start mass marketing...!!

Great question.

A good referal system can boost steem new users to the moon literally

From what I have seen, the URL you showed is in the correct format.

I have also heard people talk about how many referrals they have referred. So I think the data is already being collected somewhere, although I don't think there is any kind of reward for generating referrals yet.

If someone else can clarify, that would be great!

Seriously? Is there really going to be such a thing? I believe this would be awesome! The really cool thing though is the all of us are here NOW, which means weather we are able to make extra $ for referring people or not, we will still benefit as Steemit grows because we are the ones who got here first ;-)
That being said, I will market my A** off if they DO reward us with Steem for referrals!

Only if you acquire a decent amount of Steem Power.

Hi, nice post. I also wanna know about affiliate program of steemit.

yes would be nice to have, steemit would go through the roof

I support this! It would be so worth it to actually get people into Steemit that way.

Interesting! Sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but instead learned from you! :D A referral system for Steem is a great idea. I look forward to seeing how it works.

I'm not sure if we really need a referral program. Steem is so freakin' awesome platform that it will market itself pretty much automatically without any added incentives. Things have just started and we are already the third most valuable blockchain.

I'm afraid that referral program might only cause a lot of spam instead of bringing something really valuable for the community.

If there ever is a referral program, I hope it doesn't give any rewards for new accounts that are created for free. It would bring too much fake users instead of real ones. Referral program should only apply to new accounts that the new user paid for (new account buying feature isn't implemented yet, but hopefully it will be soon).

It will be very interesting to look at all this!

I don't think we are ready for the referral programme yet. It will blow up the Internet :)

Nice post!

How does this referral system work @fyrstikken?

I don´t know - that is why I was asking questions in the blogpost above - I am as curious about this as everybody else.

Damn referral would be sick, maybe a 10℅ steem power for every referral sign up? Could be very incentive inducing.

Interesting article

I'm also really keen to see how this layer will work. I was just thinking we need moar ponzi

Hi, my name is Fonzi, let's be Friends. . .

you are rock steemit .... how to earn more steem ?

Dang I've been promoting Steemit on my blogs for free but Promoting then with a reward attached would be AMAZING! Hope steemit does decide to go with an affiliate program, as I already linked everything to my account for now, just in case: http://www.steemit.com/?r=btcupload

refferal system is good and an easiest way to attract more member, but maybe its may attract people thats come only for money. :v
steemit need to becarefull with thats, especially because steemit is basically an post to earn platform.

If anyone hears any updates on this please let me know

Can we get an update on referral system? I have cool artist friends, would love to get paid to recruit them...
