On your web site, in your email and newsgroup signatures, and anywhere else that you have a voice on the net, make a link to http://games.byond.com/welcomeBYOND.cgi?source=yourkey.
The person you introduce to BYOND through this link will be marked as one of yours. Later, when that person becomes a dedicated developer, you will get a 10% tip when they order the designer's guide or sign on to the hosting service (that's 10% for life-not just the first payment!). Although we are already giving these away at cost, we don't mind passing on our appreciation to you, because the BYOND universe will be one mind richer.
If you have an artistic flair, you might want to design your own banner. If not, you can always use ours. For example, the following HTML, pasted into your own page, will make a referral banner.
<a href='http://games.byond.com/welcomeBYOND.cgi?source=Dan' target=_blank>
<img src='http://games.byond.com/images/logo.gif' border=0 alt=BYOND></a>
Be sure to change Dan to your key name, or I will soon be raking in your dough! (Worth a try.)
Speeking of dough, you might be wondering how you will get paid. Once a month, we process the list of new developers and deposit your cut into your BYONDime account. From there, you can use it in future payments to us or anyone else who accepts BYONDimes. If you pile up enough to make it worth your while, you can also withdraw it in the form of a check. To learn more about BYONDimes, visit the BYONDime information page.
Now that the dimes are gone, what happens now?
