How many reward tiers should I create?
Start with 3-4 tiers. Too few lacks motivation; too many creates confusion. You can always add tiers as your community grows.
What non-monetary rewards work best?
Early access to products, exclusive content, recognition, and VIP experiences. Status and exclusivity often motivate more than cash.
How do I prevent gaming or fraud?
Social Pay includes automated fraud detection. For tier advancement, require sustained performance over time rather than one-time spikes.
