super excited & the right step to scale growth for a saas company 
I tried to find an affiliate links in the footer, but it didnāt exist.
I vote for an invite only, affiliate program with revenue sharing model. e.g. you get 50% of the first year of the users payments to beeminder if they become premium members. (the more you pay the faster beeminder spreads imho)
A potential beeminder referral program makes me feel indifferent ā I donāt expect programs like this to pay me out frequently enough to make them worthwhile.
That said, Iād vote for Option 1 or 3. $5 cash seems too low to be motivating.
Everyone Iāve talked to about Beeminder thought I was crazy.
āTake it easyā, āDonāt be so hard on yourselfā, āRelaxā, āListen to your gutā, āThat sounds like an evil corporate thing to doā.
The only person I convinced to try Beeminder had trouble finding good metrics.
About the only good thing that came from it is that I know whose advice not to take.
Sounds like you expressed what beeminder is to people that already view you as an very high achiever (if that makes senseā¦) 
@dreev āwhereās my money?ā could be one of the emails Iām sending you because I referred 200 new infinibees in a year.
What would that bring me in $ ? (lets be honest, this is what most of us users are interested in if this would ever start)
I agree, but I donāt think this applies to option 1 - the fact that someone wants option 1 means that they truly see beeminder as valuable.
Incentives for API integrations would make a difference to me. Working on Beescheduler[1] (Coming Soonā¢) would be easier to justify if I got paid for it. And Iād have a reason to respond to users other than altruism.
[1]: Schedule goals with different rates every based the day of the week. E.g: write 500 words Monday - Wednesday and not have Beeminder bother you the rest of the week.
I would also be interested in this. While it might be orthogonal to a referral program, an integration bounty program would be awesome! Especially if we could make third-party integrations easy to promote to first-party.
Any progress? Can we vote? Do you have the affiliate link somewhere already āworkingā as discussed in amsterdam ?
We do! PM me and Iāll make you a custom link you can start using and from which we can track referrals despite our failure to get the rest of the program set up yet!
