Did you have a friend send you a referral to sign up for something called Meadow? You’re probably wondering, “What is Meadow, exactly?—Also, why are you being asked to join, and, most importantly, what’s in it for you?
In a nutshell, Meadow is an application that allows you to share your unused internet and get rewarded for it. Think of your internet as a highway. Whether you’re streaming or scrolling, you only ever use a few lanes of your internet highway at any given time, leaving many unused lanes. By letting Meadow use those empty lanes, you get to earn rewards.
Interested? Let’s dive a little deeper into your Meadow referral.
What Happens When You Accept a Referral to Meadow?
When one of your buddies shares their Meadow referral link with you, they’re inviting you to become part of a growing network of over 3 million users sharing their unused internet in exchange for rewards. By accepting the referral, you’re taking the first step toward turning your idle internet connection into something valuable.
By the way, before we go any further, we want to mention here that the privacy of your personal data is a huge priority for us. Meadow does not and cannot track your personal internet use.
Joining the Meadow Network
If you decide to join Meadow, the setup process should only take a few minutes. Once you sign up using your friend’s referral, you’ll need to download the Meadow desktop app, and then you’ll be automatically connected to the network. We’ve designed the entire process to be as user-friendly as possible, even if you’re not tech-savvy.
Accessing Your Meadow Dashboard
After setting up your Meadow account, you’ll gain access to your personalized Meadow dashboard. This is where you can monitor your Meadow Points accumulation and track your referrals. Don’t worry, we’ll break down all of these details below. The takeaway is that your dashboard makes it easy to visualize your progress within the Meadow ecosystem.
Understanding the Meadow Referral Program
We designed the Meadow referral system to reward the community in a fair and transparent way. When you join the network through a Meadow referral, both you and the person who invited you receive benefits.
The Benefits of Referral Links
Let’s say your best friend shares their Meadow referral code with you. If you do them a solid and sign up, they’ll earn ongoing rewards in the form of Meadow Points based on your participation.
First, you’ll begin earning Meadow Points based on your “uptime” or the amount of time your Meadow application is running and actively sharing your unused internet bandwidth with the network. At the same time, your bestie will receive 20% of the Meadow Points you earn.
Don’t worry, this doesn’t take away any of your points. You’ll always keep every Meadow Point you earn. Your buddy is just earning a separate bonus. We think of it as a way of thanking them for growing the community.
What You Get as a New Referral
Sure, you’re probably happy to help your best friend out, but what do you get when you sign up for Meadow? As a big welcome to the Meadow community, you’ll receive a special bonus of 5,000 Meadow Points once you reach 100 hours of uptime.
This gives you a nice boost to start your Meadow journey. Plus, once you’re part of the network, you can start referring others and build your own network of referrals to multiply your rewards.
The Rewards of Referring Others
If you’re not satisfied with just earning Meadow Points by donating your own unused bandwidth, it’s time to add some rocket fuel to your points accumulation. You can do that by taking a page from your bestie and making Meadow referrals of your own.
Finding Your Referral Code
After you’ve created your Meadow account, you’ll receive your own personal Meadow referral code. You can find this code at the top of your main dashboard page or by clicking on the “Referral Program” tab within the dashboard.
Once you copy your code (in the form of a unique link), share away through email, social media, or your favorite messaging apps. Each time someone uses your code to join Meadow, they’ll be connected to your referral system.
How The Referral System Works
The greatest growth potential is through referrals, so we’ve designed the Meadow Points program to reward referrals at several levels. It can get a little detailed, but here are the basics:
- When someone joins the Meadow network using your referral, you earn a 20% bonus based on their points accumulation (without reducing what they earn).
- If that person refers someone else, you also get a 10% bonus based on the second-level referral’s uptime points.
- And if that person refers yet another user, you receive a 5% bonus based on the third-level referral’s uptime points.
And just in case we haven’t made this abundantly clear, you never take away points from your referrals. You all earn points independently. Your bonuses are simply based on how much your referrals contribute to the network.
Meadow Rewards Bonus Opportunities
As if all the referral bonuses weren’t enough, we also love giving contributors extra bonuses on top of everything else. When a person you refer to the Meadow network reaches 100 hours of uptime, you’ll receive a 2,500-point bonus. We see this as a way to encourage you to invite the people you think will be most likely to actively use the platform, rather than just signing up a lot of inactive users.
Tracking Referrals Through the Meadow Dashboard
Once you’ve started sharing your Meadow referral code, your Meadow dashboard is the best place to keep tabs on how your referral network is growing. First, take a look at the “Earning Statistics” graph on the main dashboard, where you’ll find a breakout of your Referral Uptime Points and Referral Uptime bonuses.
You can also switch to your Rewards dashboard to see what percentage of your points are coming from referrals versus your own Uptime Points.
