What is the Kickstarter referral program?

Asked 2 years ago
The Kickstarter referral program is designed to incentivize individuals to share projects they believe in with others. This program allows users to earn rewards by promoting Kickstarter projects to their network. When a person refers a new backer to a specific project, and that backer pledges a certain amount, the referrer can receive various benefits. These benefits may include credits that can be used toward future Kickstarter projects or other exclusive rewards offered by the campaign creator. The intention of the referral program is to foster a sense of community and encourage sharing within the Kickstarter platform. It allows users to support creators while also benefiting from the outreach efforts they engage in. The specifics of the referral program can vary depending on the projects involved, so individuals are encouraged to check the relevant project pages for updated details. For those seeking more information on how to participate in the referral program or the rewards associated with it, it is advisable to explore the current web page on Kickstarter to find the most accurate and up-to-date information.
