Rob Hallam rebuilt a standard referral program around affiliate tactics borrowed from larger brands. He says it added $10k MRR in 30 days; his MRR screenshot shows $23.2k, up 62% vs December.
01The problem
He had a referral program that wasn't producing growth.
02The experiment
He studied the affiliate strategies used by larger brands and applied five of them to his own referral program, turning it into a primary growth channel.
The five tactics are laid out in the post's image and thread.
