| Referral links for private promos | At least once a month, run sales and offer discounts for your course(s). Then use this time for running referral promotions via your private channels. Advertise your exclusive offer(s) to your existing audience and offer to buy your course(s) for a lower price. Once users click on your referral links, they’ll jump on the platform and get a chance to buy your course(s) for a lower price. While all other users who browse the same course(s) won’t be able to see any discounts or decreases in the current course price. This promotional offer is good for 7 days only and then gets deactivated automatically. After a week, your course price will be switched back to usual. | expires on the 7th day | If you bring users to the platform via referral links and they purchase any of your separately sold courses at a single price, 96% of the sale goes to your pocket! |
| Referral links for public promos | Public promos provide an option to run 7-day sales and offer price discounts for your course(s) once a month. With public promos, your course price discounts become visible and available to everybody on the web. The price will be switched back to normal automatically once the promotion is over. | expires on the 7th day | Public promotions give more recognition, expand outreach, and boost engagement by driving more learners in. The more people are aware about your e-learning content, the more revenue shares you get! If the user makes a checkout on Grinfer via your referral link, 96% of the sale goes to your pocket! |
| Course giveaways | Offer your course(s) as a gift to up to 50 people. Share free access links among 50 people you know and let them enjoy your course at any time for the whole month! After the lifespan of such free access links is over, these folks will have to either pay for subscriptions or purchase your course(s) separately. | expires after 1 month (starting from the first day of the launch) | Why offer free access?
