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