For every new stacker you refer, you'll
- get 2.1% of all the tips they receive
- get 21% of any boost or job promotion
Any website, newsletter, video, social media post, or podcast where you link to SN - or an SN story - can now be a referral link and earn you sats.
Any SN link can be turned into a referral link by appending
/r/<your nym>, e.g. /r/k00b, to the link. Examples of referral links:https://stacker.news/r/k00bhttps://stacker.news/items/109473/r/k00bhttps://stacker.news/top/posts/r/k00b?when=week
Every post now has a link sharing button in the upper right. If you are logged in, the link shared is your referral link. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get referrals.
For logged in stackers, there's a referral dashboard to track your referrals and how much you're earning from them. It's available in the dropdown in the navbar.
Also, all redeemed invites have been retroactively turned into referrals so many of you aren't starting at zero. Invite links will also continue to exist and are implicitly referrals.
The money for referrals comes out of SN's revenue. It doesn't cost the referree anything extra - the referrer just gets extra sats from SN.
what's next
We are probably going to make the editor some kind of WYSIWYG markdown hybrid and add image upload support. That's just the way the wind is blowing at the moment anyway.
