Regular reviews: Periodically evaluate the performance of each referral and adjust commissions accordingly
Limit active referrals: Focus on quality over quantity by maintaining a manageable number of active referrals
Communication
Provide clear guidelines to your referrers about how to effectively promote your project
Set expectations regarding payment schedules and minimum thresholds
Share promotional materials and key messaging to ensure consistent communication
Commission rate strategy
Tier your commissions: Offer higher rates to influencers with larger audiences or proven track records
Start conservative: Begin with moderate commission rates (2-5%) that you can increase for high performers
