Looking for comments on possible new feature
Posted March 3rd, 2014 by perryd
Hi, everyone. We're thinking of adding a feature to KidPub in which members earn credits to spend in the KidPub Press bookstore by by bringing new members here to KidPub. For example, for each new member that you bring to KidPub, you'd earn a $5 credit to spend at the KidPub Press bookstore on books or even a publishing package. The credits would be stored in an account, so, for example, if you'd earned $30 in credits and spent $14 on a book, you'd still have $16 in your account. They would not expire.
I'm curious to know if you think this is something you'd find fun and would use...let me know in comments, and thanks!
KidPub Authors Club members can post their own stories, comment on stories they've read, play on KidMud, enter our contests, and more! Want to join in on the fun? Joining is easy!
Perry- I think this is a really interesting idea! Although you'd still have to work out a few small parts- for example maybe broadcast and advertise the use of those invitations. It would be really fun, and I'd love to participate!
Even if we didn't get credits, I would still try my best to bring new members to this wonderful community. ^_^
Thanks for all the work and devotion you've put into KP, Perry!

This sounds really interesting!
Just one point, would it be in pounds as well, since I live in the UK, so would that still work out?

....PERFECT!! I love this new idea!
That'd be awesome! But you'd have to have some way to make sure that someone actually brought that person to KP. And what if you already had brought them? Would you still get the reward?

Each member would get a code, like PD123, that hey would give to the members that they were referring. The new member would enter the code when they filled in the registration form. We'd start everyone at zero.
Someone asked about GBP versus USD...the KP Bookstore converts purchases towhatever your local currency is.
This sounds like a good idea!

Sounds great Perry! It sounds like a good idea and I think it could work. I have an idea. Maybe you could once in a while do giveaways with credits instead of books, so with the credits, they could buy their own book from the KidPub bookstore. I will definitely do this if 'this' is a thing.
Great idea, Perry! (This is totally off topic and probably really annoying, but when are you posting the monthly writing contest results?) JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!!! ......... after this short commercial break.
Look here, and you'll see the bold word 'Notification' somewhere in the middle. It tells you that the results will be posted on or about March 7th. ^u^

Oh wow aren't I smart? Haha thanks!

That would be sooooo cool! it's a great Idea! (so if you saved up $300 worth of credits you could publish a book? that would be cool!)
That's a pretty cool idea. ^u^ I'm definitely all for it!

Sounds like a great idea. This would be awesome if we did that.

This sounds like an amazing idea, but I don't know if my friends would be willing to write. I already convinced a friend and they joined, but she never gets on anymore so does that count?
That's a great idea!
Smiles! :)
this sounds so cool! I would definitely do it. :3

This sounds like an awesome idea!
This sounds great Perry!
I know lots of kids who like to write, so I'll tell them to come to Kidpub once the feature starts.
That'd be great! Also, I've brought 2 members here in the past. They're not very active though.
i think that sounds super cool! I think it would work very well, and I think that it would be easier for the members that find it more difficult to earn credits :)

I just have one question. How would you know if they brought someone to KidPub?
Like-a-boss
I think it is an awesome idea! But one question: How will you tell which member brough which member to KidPub? Is there like a list or something? I think I'm asking the same question of the person before me.
Here is a hug: (>l l)>
Perry-
This sounds cool. Like, really cool.
But one thing-how would you know that we told that person about KidPub? Like, how would you know it was one of us specifically?
Just asking.
-Berk
I just realized a ton of people were thinking the exact same thing.
So my opinion is kinda pointless, now that I think about it.
-Berk
We'll put a box on the registration form for the new member to put your login name into.
Oh.
Cool. I bet I could try to get a couple people into it...I've got a couple friends that are writing things right now. Thanks,
-Berk
Cool

This sounds like a great new feature!

This is a wonderful idea. I think that it may be hard though, because my friends want to be fashion designers and stuff but I'll try. This is a very interesting topic, though.
PERRY! I just invited a friend. Now what???
