Using Pre-launch Digital Bonuses
Provide a streamlined and official way to distribute digital rewards directly to your pre-launch followers at the time of their follow. This makes it easier for you to encourage sign-ups and gives potential backers an immediate benefit for their interest.
Examples:
- A downloadable file: This could be a PDF, a digital art print, or anything else you'd like to share.
- A link to an exclusive community: Invite followers to join your private Discord server, Facebook group, or other online community for special updates.
