I was exploring referrals and invites right from the start of eSteem. eSteem uses Firebase to send push notifications to users and implementing above will be great addition. Ultimately, what we want is to get everyone onboard to start using Steem and create not only social platform but Marketplace for mass. Fast forward today, I can already see multiple possibilities to incentivize users to go out there, do marketing, invites and start earning extra by referrals.
How?
Specific implementation I have in mind, involves beneficiaries that we will soon have with hf17/hf18. This feature allow us to reward app developers as well as everyone who is helping to onboard more people if properly implemented!
Invite friend, family, colleagues, other people and get reward from their future earnings. I believe this gives strong incentive to most people here to go out and do referrals because you know you will be rewarded once people you invited joins and start posting, commenting. People joining through your invites also get your support on their content if you follow and vote their content.
