Make promoting fun (and lucrative) with FirstPromoter! Contests let you create leaderboards with prizes to motivate your promoters — visible right in the Affiliate Dashboard so everyone can see how they’re stacking up. You can create different contests based on goals like sales, referrals, or conversion rates.
Why run a contest?
Boost short-term activity — a prize-driven leaderboard gets promoters sharing more.
Reward top performers without changing commission structures — add cash, credits, free months, or anything you'd like as prizes.
Increase visibility & engagement — the leaderboard in the Affiliate Dashboard gives promoters a clear goal and motivation

Offer prizes that motivate — meaningful but realistic.
