Impact Score

Time Investment
2-3 weeks setup, 3 hours weekly
Description
Create a public gallery where users share what they made with your plugin, then reward them with credits or discounts when their showcase drives new sales. Music producers already love sharing their work — give them a stage and a reason to tag your plugin. Dropbox grew from 100K to 4M users with double-sided referrals. Apply the same psychology to creative tools where the "referral" is showing off what you built.
