Discord.Me Support

Affiliate marketing is a simple method of making some residual income online. Basically you promote a product or a company, and every time someone makes a purchase because of your recommendation, you get a commission. One of the keys of affiliate marketing is having a community, because you need to have people who trust your opinion, and of course people to even see your opinion in the first place. Since Discord servers are large, dedicated communities, oftentimes with a niche topic, the Discord.Me community can greatly profit from using affiliate marketing! All you need to do, as a server owner, is decide on a few companies or products to promote, then create a channel called ‘Support Us’ or ‘Products We Recommend’ where you can post affiliate links. Or maybe you just sprinkle them in a conversation when appropriate. It will help you a lot to use affiliate programs that relate to your server. If you’re a server for musicians, you can share links to your favorite sites for music lessons or music gear. If you’re a server about gaming, you can share links to online game retailers or specific computer parts on electronics store sites. Affiliate marketing is easy to get into because it is risk-free. There is no upfront cost. Normally you need to be a blogger or a YouTuber to be successful at affiliate marketing, but Discord server owners already have a built-in community with a lot of trust, which is just as effective. Attributing your sales is done through unique referral links that you receive, and your payment is handled through the company you sign up for. And yes this is a legitimate practice – giant companies like Amazon, Target, GameStop, TripAdvisor, and more all offer affiliate programs. It’s like being a salesperson for those companies, but there’s no contractual obligation, and no inventory to hold onto. For all these reasons, Discord.Me has no issues recommending this as a potential way to support your server monetarily.

It's a new year and a new decade, so it's a great time to reconsider your goals for your Discord server. Here is some inspiration for you to draw from, to make your best resolutions for 2020! ## Hold Weekly Server Events One of the best ways to keep your server engaged is to hold events like gaming sessions, movie nights, and more. But just like being a YouTuber, you need consistency. Start holding weekly events at a regularly scheduled time, so that server members know when to expect it. This will keep them coming back every week, and not accidentally missing an event. ## Review Your Channels If your server has been around for a long time, then you might have quite a few channels. Get an early start on your spring cleaning by reviewing the channels you have, and seeing if there are any that are being underutilized. If there are, maybe make the server less busy by removing some of those unused channels. On the flip side, you can also add some new channels that cover common topics that come up in your General channel. ## Grow your server! Everyone wants to grow their server, and Discord Me can help with that. If you're here, then you've probably already listed your server here. If not, [you should do that now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bj9YjLMnO4)! And if you're just on our free service, consider investing some money into our Platinum level to show up higher on the list. In addition to promoting your server on our site, you can also be active on social media and communities that have to do with your niche. Happy New Year 2020! It's a new year and new decade, and there are a ton of opportunities to improve yourself as well as your server. We're here to help you where we can!

This week we want to say thank you to all the awesome communities that have made Discord Me an awesome place to discover Discord servers. Back in 2015 when we started Discord Me we never knew what lie ahead for us. So this week we are going to be thinking back at our journey and all the fun times. During this week we also want to offer a better price on our [premium ranks](https://discord.me/premium) like platinum and gold. So we are dropping the prices to $8 / 30 days for gold and $38 / 30 days for platinum. The sale will continue until Tuesday December 3rd at 12 am UTC. So again thank you for being with us on this journey, and thanks for letting us help you find new friends, and thanks for making this a blast of a project to work on. ~ Shylor 💕

During an upgrade last night and today. We broke our stats system. This will cause your server stats to be off for the day. We did figured out what we did wrong and fixed the bug. So moving forward the numbers should show correctly again from now on.

We hope you enjoyed our Spooktober theme last month! Since our last update post, we’ve been hard at work improving the site all month long. Here are some highlights: ## 🏷️ Tag Browsing We introduced a new way for people to explore servers. Clicking on a tag will bring you to a list of servers using that tag, as well as suggestions for (hopefully) relevant tags. We’ve seen a lot of use with this feature, and have plans to improve it more! ## 🐟 Similar Servers We built in another way for people to discover communities. On other pages across the site, your server can show up if our system thinks it's a good match. This is another opportunity to show off your server and gain new members who are already interested in your type of community. We want this system to be fair, and may tweak it over time, so we're not going to share specifics on how it works. The advice I'll share on making the most of this feature is to work on making sure your server's presentation is the best it can be, and uses well thought out categories and tags. Premium servers may get an ever so slight boost, but only if our system already sees the server as a good match. ## 🙋 Answers Have questions? (Hopefully), we have answers! We built out the answers platform as a way to answer questions about using Discord Me, but quickly realized we can help out with related topics as well. We’re working to make this as helpful as possible. If you have questions you’d like to suggest, let us know! ## 🎯 New Categories We’ve introduced 3 new categories: emoji, tabletop, and growth. Enjoy!
