The Hive referral program is on Hiveonboard, built by @roomservice.
Click this link to get started, and generate your personal referral link:
https://hiveonboard.com/what-is-hive
Click on “Referral Program” and input your Hive account name to generate your personal referral link. Copy that link and put it at the bottom of your Hive posts to onboard your friends.
This is how it will look to your friends who use your referral link. Notice that my Hive profile photo shows up? Pretty cool huh?
Here’s how I'm using my referral link at the bottom of my posts. You can copy if you want:
What To Do When Your New Friend Joins
- Send them a small Hive Power delegation (I send 5 HP).
- Send them a personalized welcome message in a memo.
Here's my welcome message I send to new users who join with my referral link:
Welcome to Hive! We are glad you’ve made it. We have given you a delegation of 10 Hive Power to get you started. Since you’re new, we suggest that you write a post using the tag #introduceyourself. It’s kind of tradition on here that new people introduce themselves. If you have issues or need help, feel free to tag us @hivepeople in your post. Read this post to get started: https://peakd.com/hivemarketing/@hivepeople/hive-for-noobs :)
When someone joins HIVE with your referral link, @hiveonboard will send a memo to your HIVE account. It looks like this:
Received from hiveonboard
0.001 HIVE
New account @ndukadavid joined HIVE using your referral. Please take care of this new user. Ways to help are: providing educative resources and offering them a small delegation of HIVE POWER. HIVE POWER delegation gives your referral more resource credits which will help @ndukadavid to do more transactions each day.
Keep in mind, if you don’t delegate any Hive Power to your new referral, they won’t be able to vote, post and comment very much. They will most likely feel confused, powerless, and will probably quit, so it is advised that you delegate some HP to them so they can function normally.
Dapps Are Integrating As We Speak
The Hive Dapps are still in the process of integrating this referral program, but we can all benefit from using this now to onboard our friends. Keep in mind that the 3% beneficiary rewards are not decided upon by the apps, so don’t expect this. I don’t have any info either, so we just have to wait and see.
However, I love having the ability to see who joins Hive with my referral link, so I know there are many of us who can get to work onboarding new people now.
Let's work to onboard and retain new people! You can start this by using your referral link, and getting your friends and family to join with your link so you can keep tabs on their progress. It really helps to be able to count the people I've onboarded, which is somewhere around 10 so far with this new system. How many people have you onboarded recently?
Thanks to @roomservice for this amazing innovation!
Cheers,
Hive People

@hivepeople I have been referring people through my link. I run sponsored ads on Facebook to get them. I set a personal target of 7 people each week. I also do graphic tutorials for them and follow through on their progress. Here is a list of my 9 tutorials I have made so far:

fantastic work! Can we see the facebook ads? I'd be curious to see what it is working.
@hivepeople. These are the last 2.

I normally gather responders into a Whatsapp group and then start training them. Through this, am able to bring in up to 5 new users each week. But with a bigger budget, more people could be reached.
I don't see Hive mentioned anywhere, is this a general blogging course that introduces them to different things?
@hivepeople. I was avoiding Facebook strict ad policies. Originally when I started doing this promotion with Steemit, they will not approve ads about blockchains. It was so strict that they can even ban me from running ads. So I make the ads to look like general blogging. Then when they come to the WhatsApp groups, I am free to talk about blockchains and Hive.
oh, very smart move! It's working for you, and onboarding 5 people per week is amazing.
Sure @hivepeople. The target is 7. But am averaging 5 per week.
how do you deal with the HP delegation so far?
@hivepeople. From my own earnings, I buy 1 Hive dollar delegation to each of them from blocktrades.us. That gives them about 37HP for 3 months. That is enough time for them to earn enough Hive power of their own.
Here's what I would suggest you do:
Document all of this and how many people you are onboarding each week.
Detail how you do it, and then write a very concise article. When you do this, tag me, and I'll reblog it. I think people should know about this, and how much work you are doing to bring new people here. Then we can post about it in the Hive.io discord channel also to bring awareness.
I will do that by tomorrow @hivepeople

Damn - this is very cool! Well done. Shared to both the @naturalmedicine communities and the @abundance.tribe. And reblogged.
great! Thanks for spreading the word, I know that not many people know this exists, as we did a twitter survey and 48% didn't know about it.
Now you can track the progress of your referrals, check out our latest post: https://peakd.com/hivemarketing/@hivepeople/did-you-know-there-s-a-new-tool-to-track-the-progress-of-your-referrals
Awesome write up! Thanks as always!
I'am planning to add more referral tools (like a table of my referrals) soon.
Will need some more time - will keep you in touch :)
yeah, i have lots of work too! no worries, it can all be worked on in time. A tool to manage my referrals would be cool for sure.
thanks for the gift!
Looks interesting I’ll try to use it for my next friends joining...
@lyubo19 Check this on ;)
I'll get my referral link and start onboarding new members. Thank you for the info @hivepeople

Wow. Did not know about this. Seems interesting. Going to look into it.
yeah, test it out and see how it works! It's really easy!
I love this new feature! 😍 It will be great to be able to promote Hive with a referral link! 👯 Thanks for the heads up, @hivepeople. 😊
let us know how it goes for you!
With pleasure! :)
you're welcome!
This is awesome. I have been using your referral link all along to onboard people.
I think, I can take it from here onwards when I introduce anyone.
#hiveisalive

Thank you for that! Have a great day!
found it once I scrolled down!
Then you have to give your referrals some microtasks to perform

otherwise, they won't stay.
