Easily use PurplePort VIP for FREE
By Russ Freeman, written 1361475916
With so many things to subscribe to these days, we understand that not everyone can afford to pay for every service they use. This is why, at PurplePort, we created a referral scheme for our members, so everyone has the opportunity to get free PurplePort VIP simply by sharing links to PurplePort with others.
How does the referral scheme work?
You can earn referrals (which can be redeemed as referral gifts) by sharing links to PurplePort with others and encouraging them to signup to PurplePort. It's as simple as that; share your referral links, sit back and wait for the referrals to roll in!
Share referral links with others
These are the referral links you can use to earn referrals:
- Any link on PurplePort (such as an image, a portfolio, casting call, group post, etc.) followed by your referral code ?referrer=youraccountname (e.g. https://purpleport.com/blog/?referrer=youraccountname)
OR - A link to your portfolio page https://purpleport.com/portfolio/youraccountname/ (with or without your referral code)
You will be automatically marked as referring someone if they create a PurplePort account immediately after they have clicked any of these links.
Redeem a referral gift for each referral you earn
If someone clicks on your referral link and creates a PurplePort account, they will appear on your Referrals page after their account has been approved and they have been active on PurplePort for three months.
Once a referral appears on your Referrals page, we'll give you a referral gift which you can redeem as either 30 days of PurplePort VIP or $5 USD (redeemed once you reach a total of $50).
Where can I share my referral links?
Anywhere! Here are some great places to start:
- Your other portfolio or networking websites that are similar to PurplePort
- Flickr
- 500px
- DeviantArt
- X
- Any other social media platforms
- Your email signature
- Your website or blog (you can use the Links and Graphics tool to quickly generate code for these)
Messaging people
Whenever you message someone outside of PurplePort and want to show more of your work, always use a link to your portfolio page https://purpleport.com/portfolio/youraccountname/ to share more of your work.
A typical message might be:
Hello,
Thanks for your interest! You can see more of my work on my PurplePort portfolio:
https://purpleport.com/portfolio/youraccountname/
Kind regards,
