Refer New Members for Free Profile Exposure on BiggerPockets
As many of you know, we recently launched a Stats page that highlights the leaders within the BiggerPockets Community. Part of that page shines a light on those members who are the Top Referrers to the site.
We highlight those members who are the top referrers of the week, month, and all time.
Getting to the top of the charts in this category is currently pretty easy, and a great way to get some increased exposure for you and your profile. Here's how:
How to Refer New Members for FREE Exposure
There are 3 ways to get referral credits for letting new members know about BiggerPockets.
1. Use the INVITE link found across the site to send an individual invite. Just enter your friend or colleague's Name and Email address in the form and once they sign up (they will get an email with instructions on joining), you get credit for the referral.
2 - Use the REFERRAL LINK on the INVITE page. Just copy and paste the REFERRAL LINK from the INVITE page into an email and send it to your friends ad colleagues. If they sign up using that link, you'll get credit for the referral once they sign up.
You can also use this link on your Blog, Forum Signature on other sites, etc. These two methods are great ways to bring eyeballs to BiggerPockets and give you all the credit!
3 - IMPORT your contacts from Gmail, Yahoo mail, or Hotmail. From the INVITE page, you'll see a tab labeled IMPORT CONTACTS, which allows you to import all of the people in your addres book to the site. This feature allows you to import all of your colleagues in one fast shot. As in the other methods, once your contacts sign up, you'll get credit. NOTE: We never store any login or password information entered from your accounts.
FYI - The third tab on the invite page allows you to track those invites that you've imported from #3 above. You can elect to resend an invite or delete it.
We'll soon be adding Badges on member profiles and on different areas of the site that highlight those members who are the top referrers and others who appear on the stats page.

You should come up with a way to credit referrers for people that they invited that didn't use the link from BP to sign up. I had a few like that in the last few weeks :-)
