Spreading the Word Through A Unique, Twitter-based Affiliate Program
Just this last weekend we gave you ways that you could purchase our daily stats e-mail (and soon our other services) for your friends and family as well as yourself. We’ve seen an increase in sign ups since then, so we know our users love to share. Today, we’re going to introduce a unique way to reward you for sharing. Starting today, for each service you refer people to join on SocialToo, we’re going to pay you 20% of the cost of that service via the service TwitPay, right through Twitter! Here’s how it works:
- You use one of the links below, replacing the “Jesse” as the value of the twitter_user parameter with your own Twitter screen name, and share that link with your friends on Twitter, Facebook, or even your blog or website!
- When your friends click the link, they’ll be taken to SocialToo, but a special, customized overlay will pop over the main page welcoming them to SocialToo with your Twitter profile image next to the welcome message. The message tells them about the service you’re trying to refer them to, and invites them to provide their screen name (or a friends!) and enter the purchase process.
- When your friend or referral has purchased the service you sent them to, we record your Twitter screen name with the purchase
- At the end of each month we’ll then send you 20% of the purchase price via the service, TwitPay.
It’s that simple! Using TwitPay and Twitter to manage the affiliate process there are no new accounts to sign up for, nor do you have to re-enter your bank account information for us to know where to push the money. We simply send you a Tweet saying you get X amount, you click a link, and claim the money we guaranteed for you using your existing Paypal account!
Never before has an affiliate program been so easy. We love Twitter because it enables simple transactions like affiliate payments to be a simple process. All you need to know is your Twitter screen name, the link to send your friends, and you’re done! Thanks to TwitPay for making this easy for us to complement the Social Web, even with our affiliate program.
Here are the links you need to know – remember to replace the “Jesse” with your own Twitter screen name next to the “twitter_user” parameter (click on the links to see what it looks like!):
- Catch up following those that follow you on Twitter: http://socialtoo.com/?twitter_user=Jesse&service=catchup – $5 ($1 commission)
- Catch up unfollowing those that unfollow you on Twitter: http://socialtoo.com/?twitter_user=Jesse&service=unfollow_catchup – $5 ($1 commission)
- Sign up for the daily stats e-mail of Twitter followers and unfollowers: http://socialtoo.com/?twitter_user=Jesse&service=stats – $20 ($4 commission)
- Unfollow all your friends (everyone you’ve ever followed): http://socialtoo.com/?twitter_user=Jesse&service=unfollow_all – $25 ($5 commission)
For now the service applies to referring new users only – we’ll be working on the ability to refer existing users to new services shortly. We’ll be updating the website soon with this information – for now I hope you’ll go out and share this with more people!
