Let's say you invite someone that subscribes to the $199/year plan. Then you'd earn 30% commission on that $199 = $59.70/year for as long as they stay subscribed.
I'm not sure this is something I want to do as it cuts down into my profit margins a lot, but I do like the idea of having some incentive/reward for referring new members.
ah like an affiliate program. at first i thought the inviter gets the revenue off the invitee's products haha
Nice yes I want to give some incentive to inviters as well. Giving free membership is a fun idea.
I also thought about money (e.g. 30% commission on all revenue from anyone you invite), swag (t-shirts, stickers, etc) or some website unlocks (streak fixes, etc)
how would that 30% commision on all revenue work? i don't get it

From the new onboarding flow:
Do you offer a lifetime membership?
Nope, we don't do lifetime deals. Here's why: we want to stay motivated to keep making WIP awesome for you. With a recurring fee, we're always on our toes, working to deliver value. It's our way of making sure we grow together!Do you offer pricing power parity?
We've got one price for everyone, worldwide. Our community is mainly for folks earning their living online, where economic opportunities tend to level out globally. We get that this might not work for everyone, and that's okay! If our price doesn't fit your budget, there are other great communities out there that might be a better match for your situation.
Curious to hear what you think
There's a few products like this in the market. huntr.co is probably the most well known one. It's also something I've had on the back-burner for startup.jobs for a while
I think the issue with trying to sell it as a stand alone tool (versus being part of a job board for example), is that people actively looking for a job don't tend to have a lot of discretionary spending.
Yes, even people with high paying jobs do switch jobs, but typically because they get poached away or get a better offer through their network. So for those people a job application tracker isn't that relevant.
The real money is with the employers.
That's just my cynical take on this market, but I think rooted in logic.
I do like the simple UX. Makes a lot of sense. I can see the same setup being useful for many other use cases as well. So I'd suggest to try and get in the hand of job seekers first (maybe run some ads on job boards), but after that also pursue other markets where it's useful to collect leads from different sources, structuring it, and turning them into a pipeline. There's many possible use cases for that I think.
Sorry, but I have to be firm on the paid requirement. Otherwise I'd have to extend this free plan to everyone who's ever received an invite but didn't redeem it.
That's reasonable. Thanks!
