Affiliate marketing/User reward program advice
I'm trying to create/find a program that will allow our users to "invite your friends" to gain more users for our site. For every user the original user recommends to the site, the original user will receive $2 in their account for every game that user plays. For example, Player1 signs up and recommends 50 friends to the site. Those 50 friends end up entering 500 games combined during the month, then User1 receives $1000.
Users should be able to invite their friends through three ways (at least).
1. Email - a user should be able to enter their friends email address and have our sites (or them, preferably) send them a pre-written email inviting them to our site.
2. Text message - user should be able to call/text their friends and tell them about our site.
3. Social networks - users should be able to post to facebook and twitter and advertise our site.
Tracking - to track email and texts/phone calls, the only way I can think of tracking this through our site would be to have to original user input the email and/or phone number if anyone they invite. Then, if any user signs up and provides the email or phone number the original player recommended, the original player gets credit for it. To track social media links, I think each player would need a unique hop link to track who uses their link to sign up. We could add "share to Facebook/twitter" links with the unique hop link.
This program will act as our "refer a friend" and "affiliate" programs. I would like the program to automatically add funds to everyone's account once per month. Or at least keep track so I can do it manually. Does anyone know if there is a program that already exists or should I look to have something made? Any advice or recommendation is greatly appreciated.
