Think about it. Like why would someone invite their friends if there is less likelyhood that they win competing against their friends? The product in question is stockalgos.com/leaderboard

Make it part of the criteria to be able to win the cash prize lol You're totally right, people normally won't share if it builds up competition but you do see a lot of these phrases 👇🏼 for cash prizes "Tag 3 friends" (ig), "Retweet + Comment" (twitter)
Increase the amount of cash

@travis_page how much should we offer?
@stockalgos How much are you currently offering? Also- you can frame the amount offered as a customer acquisition cost. According to traffic breakdown in the bottom right, a good chunk of your traffic comes from social. https://capture.dropbox.com/t64g... So that likely means you are running ads/working with influencers. Do you track $ per sign up? How much is that number? The number that you offer should start at or above that CAC $ amount. Also- look at competitor ads to see if/when they worked and what copy. A competitor in your space, polymarket, ran ads. BUT they didnt run them for very long (on Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/ads/lib...

Make the cash award they receive a function of how many they invite. For eg, if you invite <3 people you get $50 if you invite 4 - 10 people you get $75 and so on The more people you invite, the more you can win

Getting people to invite their friends to compete for cash prizes can be challenging, but there are a few strategies that can help: - Emphasize the social aspect: Many people enjoy competing with their friends, even if there's a lower likelihood of winning. Highlight the social aspect of the competition, and how it can be a fun and engaging way to connect with friends and family. - Offer incentives for referrals: Consider offering rewards or bonuses to users who refer their friends to the competition. For example, you could offer a small cash prize or free entry into a future competition. - Make it easy to share: Make it easy for users to share the competition with their friends by providing social media sharing buttons or pre-populated messages that they can send to their friends. - Create multiple prize categories: Consider creating multiple prize categories so that even if someone doesn't win the grand prize, they still have a chance to win a smaller prize in a different category. This can encourage more people to participate and make it more likely that people will invite their friends to join. - Provide transparency: Make sure that the competition rules and prize distribution are transparent and clear. This can help build trust with users and make them more likely to invite their friends to join. - In the case of stockalgos.com/leaderboard, you could also consider emphasizing the educational aspect of the competition, and how it can help users learn more about the stock market and investing. This can make the competition more appealing to users who are interested in learning more about these topics, even if they don't necessarily expect to win.

Unlock new levels for user 1 bit quickly , only when he invites user 2. Otherwise, make game mechanics a bit hard for user 1. This incentivizes him to invite user 2 faster, though they are gonna compete with each other later!

The first piece of information they see is very important. At that moment, they need to know how much money they could potentially get in an ideal situation

Wow, this is such an interesting concept, TJ! I can definitely see the appeal of competing for cash prizes, but I do understand the hesitation in inviting friends to join in on the competition. I think it could be a fun way to bond with friends over a shared interest in investing. Have you considered offering team competitions where friends can work together towards a common goal? It could add an extra level of excitement and encourage more people to invite their friends to join.

To get people to invite friends for cash prize competitions, emphasize the rewards, offer referral bonuses, and simplify sharing through various channels.

you get a % of your friends winnings. the more friends you invite the higher the chance of winning something
Well here are the strategies to entice people to invite their friends for cash prize competitions: Offer referral incentives. Reward users for inviting friends to participate. This could be a percentage of their friends' winnings, or a cash bonus for every successful referral. Emphasize social engagement. Highlight the fun and social aspect of competing with friends. Many people enjoy the thrill of friendly competition, and may be motivated to join in even if winning isn't guaranteed. Create multiple prize categories. Introduce different prize tiers to ensure participants have a chance to win, regardless of their final ranking. This inclusivity can encourage more people to invite friends to take part. Have transparent rules and rewards. Ensure clear and straightforward competition rules and prize distribution. Transparency builds trust and motivates users to invite their friends, knowing they are participating in a fair competition. Consider team competitions. Team-based competitions can foster camaraderie and teamwork, encouraging more friend invites. By creating an engaging and rewarding experience, you can inspire participants to invite their friends, turning your competition into an exciting and shareable event! 🏆💰
You can market it differently. It can just not be about winning, it can be about creating epic memories. The thrill of laughing together at near-misses, the suspense of who'll outsmart whom, and the epic tales they'll tell for years to come.

interesting dilemma you've got. competition and community, a fine balance indeed. people love to win, but they also love social connection. don't underestimate that. you can tilt the odds. maybe offer 'friendship bonuses' for those who bring pals. or try a tiered prize system. individual and 'team' categories, perhaps? what if losing had a silver lining? like learning something valuable or gaining points. ever consider social recognition as a form of prize? leaderboards aren't just for winners. you could also flip the script. what if friends could 'team up' instead of compete? intrinsic rewards are potent too. not just cash, but status, access, or unique experiences. realize, every invite is a vote of trust. so, honor that. make it worthwhile for all. ultimately, people will invite if they find real value, beyond just winning. build on that.

I think one way could be increasing the odds of people who refer they friends. This could also be tricky. I think there should also be a maximum number of friends you can invite

Implement a tiered reward system where the more friends a user invites, the bigger the reward they can get. For instance, invite 5 friends and get a $5 bonus, invite 10 friends and get a $15 bonus, and so on.

This incentivizes him to invite user 2 faster, though they are gonna compete with each other later! For example a Strawberry grape smoothie - a delightful blend of sweetness and tartness in every sip!

Its actually simple , if you use referrals in exchange for a higher chance to win cash prizes, what you would see is customers start bringing in newer customers no cost added
