Invite Artists & Earn Rewards

Salon grows through personal invitations. Every invite you send is an investment -- it costs credits, but the rewards are worth it.

How Invitations Work

• You start with 5 invite slots
• Each invite costs 20 SLN from your balance
• Your invite link is unique and tracked
• You earn additional slots as your referrals succeed

The Invite Flow

Here's what happens when you invite someone:

1. You send an invite -- costs 20 SLN and uses 1 invite slot
2. They sign up and confirm their email
3. They publish their first site -- you earn +100 SLN, they get their 100 SLN signup bonus
4. They upgrade to a paid plan -- you earn a tier bonus (+500 for Basic, +1,000 for Premium/Pro)
5. Plus: 20% referral commission on their first subscription payment

Reward Summary

That's a potential return of 1,880 SLN on a 20 SLN investment if your invitee goes Pro Monthly.

With All 5 Invite Slots

• Cost to use all 5: 100 SLN (your entire starting balance)
• If all 5 convert and upgrade to Premium: 8,000 SLN return
• Net gain: 7,900 SLN (~€79)

Earning More Invite Slots

• Each successful referral (invitee publishes a site) unlocks +1 additional slot
• The more successful referrals you make, the more invites you can send
• Paying customers will receive additional slots based on their tier in a future update

Your Invite Dashboard

Found at Settings → Invite, your dashboard shows:

• Your SLN balance -- current credits with EUR equivalent
• Invite slots -- visual indicator of used and available slots
• Shareable invite link -- copy and share with one click
• Transaction history -- every credit and debit with dates and descriptions
• Cash-out button -- request a payout when you have 1,000+ SLN

Tips for Successful Invitations

Invite the Right People

• Focus on people who are actively creating and sharing work online
• Photographers, designers, illustrators, and other visual professionals get the most from Salon
• The invitee needs to publish a site for both of you to earn rewards

Personalize Your Message

• Explain what you like about Salon and why you think they'd enjoy it
• Share your own Salon site as an example
• Mention specific features that align with their creative practice

Follow Up

• A gentle reminder can make the difference between a signup and a forgotten link
• Share your work on Salon to inspire them to join
