    Introduction and Kickstarter Referral Platform Q?

    by bena » Sat Jul 04, 2015 4:05 am

    Hi Guys,

    My name is Ben - im putting together a campaign for my st - take a look at our launch page : http://bit.ly/1CgH7PP (love your feedback on it, we;ve just finished it)

    Excited for a great campaign - we've spent a year working on our social platforms, email database and building interest for a great campaign (fingers crossed).

    My question relates to referral tracking inside the KS dashboard and its capabilities. (ive searched and read heaps already on these boards).

    We are in a niche where referrals / affiliate marketing is massive - fitness/sports supplements.
    Instagram accounts within this space have 1-3M followers and a few have approached us to help the KS campaign via referrals / link tracking.

    What im thinking is:
    1. Have a $1 pledge amount which registers referrers in the KS system.
    2. They can share via their own URL/link to post on their own insta account.
    3. We track all conversions/pledge amounts and pay % post-campaign.

    My question is, can we track the total amount each referral sends our way, in order to pay a cash payment at the end of the campaign (once we're funded).

    If the above wont work what are some methods people have done this?

    Ive read through http://www.therooststand.com/pages/hack ... -leftronic but its too complicated - we dont need a leaderboard.

    All we need is to see which referrer has sent us which backer and the total $$ referred so we can pay them accordingly.

    Can this be done?

    Thanks so much in advance guys.

    nothing?

    Rewarding referrals with $ seems like such an untapped side of KS. Weird no one knows anything about it

    I think you shoud ask KS for their advice on this one, It may be considered a breach of their policies which would result in your campaign being cancelled.
    You have a good product, so I wouldn't risk loosing your funding by breaching KS rules.
    They usually answer questions within a day or two of asking
