a single source, nothing corroborates it
Put the referrer ahead of the queue
Early access to something everyone else gets later, a launch, a sale, a preview or tickets, costs nothing and can be reused several times a year to pull repeat referrals from the same people. Showing the locked item blurred rather than hiding it means readers can see what they are missing.
The method
- 01
Give referrers early access to something everyone else gets later, such as a launch, a sale, a preview or event tickets, and reuse the same mechanic several times a year to pull repeat referrals from the same people.
- 02
Show locked content as a blurred image to readers who have not unlocked it rather than hiding it entirely, so they can see there is something they are missing.
What it returned
Scarcity makes it land harder, but even queue-skipping alone works.
