Referral Link Badges

@Kate Im excited for the opportunity

Hi thanks for this opportunity!

i like the sound of this

I think the idea behind referral is good in theory but in action is actually quiet a difficult thing to do. Even after trying to sharing your personal link its hard to encourage people to do so simply because the dont have the same kind of passion i have for the community. It something they say they will do later or just forget so i dont know if im all for this. Sorry

@LittleMissJoy I think the same

@LittleMissJoy

No need to be sorry! It's a give or take situation due to what you've said. The aim of this project is to encourage people to come on here, that's why we have such project, to reach out to others, letting them know of this platform to offer support but also receive it. The badges listed (like others on the site) are in a way how I see it, to show the progress of what you've done on here and some can find it as a motivation. In the end, like what you've said and I agree, it depends on how much passion someone may have, but in the same breathe, we hope that others do take a chance with the site and see what it has more to offer!

@Yendi

I totally see where your coming from. I guess it doesnt stop me from continuing to try and spread the word.

@LittleMissJoy

That's what we still try to do! Even myself and I hope it's able to help in any way. Thank you 💜

@LittleMissJoy exactly my thoughts.

Yayy I've already gotten the help angel, messenger and envoy badges, now it's just a steep climb to that herald badge 💪

@TaranWanderer

Good On You :)

@TaranWanderer

Super congrats!! Good luck with getting Herald badge!

Can't find no link or dashboard???

that is great!

It's a stupid question but where exactly do we share our link?

@dreamNutella01 Yeah? I was wondering?

@peacefullistener22 @dreamNutella01

You can share your link anywhere on the internet you want! You can directly give it to people, or you can post it in your bio on any social media, or put it in a post on social media :) some examples where it could be shared is on instagram, tumblr (or any kind of blog website), facebook, any messaging apps, and any site you want! For example I put my link in my profile on a postcard-swapping website :P

@TaranWanderer

Thanks

@TaranWanderer I might do that :)

@TaranWanderer Hello there! Thanks for your answer! :)

@TaranWanderer

But doesnt that mean your annonymity is at risk? :s

@LittleMissJoy not really! The referral link takes you to the generic homepage, not your personal profile. So, if you're relatively anonymous on the profile you share it (I tend to be) then no one would know how to find you on here or who you are. I think there could be if you're not too secret about who you are on here, and you share it somewhere that people know you (like facebook), the most you could get is that someone would know you're probably on here somewhere, but they'd still have to look for you manually. If that makes sense. I think the link isn't any less safe than just telling people about the site, so if you'd be comfortable doing that then you should find sharing the link okay as well.

@dreamNutella01 same question xD

@Kate

this is great! I will share mine with my social media friends. :-)

I have 'Lifting Up' although I've referred so many people, I just forget to give them my direct link!!

@LittleLotte

Aw yayy, congrats!!

@LittleLotte Awesome! Let us know when you earn 'Got Your Back!'

I don

I have a question about this. Ive seen the referral link badges often but I feel torn with them. While I do think its a great way to spread the word of what we do it does take away the anonymity of the listener also. For example if I am in a forum on Facebook and can see where using the link would be appropriate/helpful now people have my identity. So obviously it would be up to my discretion but is there a better/different way that listeners can still participate in the badges without compromising our profiles.

I might just be thinking inside the box, and if so I apologize. I just cant think of a way other than another anonymous screen name posting about an anonymous listener name.

Hello there! If you're worrying about your listener profile being compromised once you share your referral link, I just want to clarify that the referral link found in your dashboard doesn't redirect people who click it to your listener profile but instead to the 7cups homepage. Your listener profile link is https://www.7cups.com/@BoliBee while your referral link is the one with the random numbers similar to the screenshot posted by Kate - they're two different things.

@BoliBee

Inner peace is the new success.

@Erato

Okay, great! That actually makes me feel better! Ive never looked at the link in entirety because the way its worded. It made me feel it was the link to my own listener page. Especially since it would give me points for people to click on it. So there was a bit of confusion on my end. Thanks for clarifying.

7 Cups offers a variety of communities to provide support and personal connection. From this central hub, you can explore and join new communities and get updates from the communities you subscribe to. We are glad you are here.

@Lauren63 I'm sorry to hear you've had some bad experiences! :( I know that not everyone on here is the best, but I do think overall the majority of people on here are good, and the site as a whole is a positive place that I would want to share with others :) of course it's not perfect, but nothing really is, so at least in terms of what it is and what someone could potentially get out of it, I think it's worth at least letting others know that this site exists as an option for them.

I also think it's good to remember that everyone here is just a volunteer, so any lack of response doesn't mean they're ignoring you (or anything bad about you, nor anything bad about them), it just means that everyone is human and life can get in the way sometimes. As for the negative comments, that's what reporting & muting are for, to help make it a better place for everyone. I also find that you generally get what you give here, not saying you have to be positive all the time or that you can't share the bad, but you generally have a better experience if you come in with patience, reflection, and openness on the mind (as opposed to hostility and defensiveness, for example). I don't know, that how I view it anyways. I think this site has flaws just like anything else, but it's not an awful place and I'm still happy I found it, and I'm sure giving others the opportunity to find a positive place here too would generally be a good thing.

Yay! Badges! Love eet. Doing the referral clicks for the 7C internship but I want those badges too!

Nice way to raise some 7C awareness <3

@Kate

I can't find my referral link ... where is it? :)
