We regularly hear from our subscribers that Stockopedia's appeal lies in both the power of our investment research tools and the supportive network of like-minded investors that we have here. This community spirit is a major reason for the popularity of the service, and we appreciate that so many of you share your personal experiences and tell others about us.

Subscribers often ask us how best to directly introduce others to the platform (and if there are any advantages of doing so). Today we're delighted to introduce our new Refer a Friend programme, which allows you to gift an exclusive discount to your friends and earn significant lifetime rewards for every friend you refer.

These rewards can quickly build up to give you a completely free subscription to Stockopedia.

Here's how the new Refer a Friend programme works...

How it works

30 days after your first billing date, you'll be able to access a unique referral link that you can share with friends, family, or anyone you think could benefit from Stockopedia in the same ways that you do.

When your friends subscribe to Stockopedia via your link, they will have the usual 2 weeks of completely free access. However, when they stay beyond the end of their trial:

They'll benefit from a 10% discount on their subscription for as long as they remain a subscriber.
You'll save 10% on your subscription fee for as long as they remain a subscriber.

For you, the benefits are cumulative - if you refer 10 friends via your unique link and they stay forever, you'll never have to pay to use Stockopedia again. When you refer a friend, we save on marketing and advertising. We're passing all of that saving directly to you and your friend as a way to say thanks.

1. Get your unique referral link

You can begin using the Refer a Friend programme 30 days after your first billing date, at which point we'll generate your unique referral link. To access and share your link:

Log in to your Stockopedia account.
Click on your avatar in the top right-hand corner of the site and select "Refer a Friend" .
Copy your unique link with one click.

2. Share your link with friends

To benefit from our Refer a Friend programme, your friends need to sign up using your…

Hi - What you suggest is an interesting idea and we've discussed something similar in the past, so I wouldn't actually rule it out. But we get asked about referring friends a lot, which means it's important to have this scheme in place. I totally hear you on the issue of new and improved tooling and charts - and these are high up on the agenda here.

Hi pobby,

We removed the vote count as it had become clear it was inaccurate. Most of the feature requests we receive come through to our support (via the green messenger button). These get logged internally and contribute to the weighting of what we work on. On the public roadmap, we realised those votes were not feeding through to the count, it was only votes made via the roadmap. To avoid the confusion this was causing, the visible vote count was turned off.

You can still vote and comment on any of the items on the roadmap and everything gets reviewed and discussed. We really hope to get to the features you mention. They are high on the list!

Sounds Super Ben. Its a shame to be restricted access to multiple markets but understand the business model, however I would love to see the loyalty to Stockpaedia users rewarded via cheaper multi market access. Saying that I do personally like Stockpaedia, but for instance my friends predominately hold passive investments managed by wealth managers so not much hope for referrals. So what I am trying to say is that such a scheme does not fit to everyones benefit therefore.

It's great to see that all personal screens created in old Stocko are now accesible in the new version.

I'm surprised you haven't publicised it more widely, as it's been a bugbear for many.

Stock rank drill-downs to be reinstated soon please. Ideally from the main stock page as well as the folio screen :)

This is not fair to people that don't have friends :) how about giving 10% off to long term subscribers ?

PLS1nve5t

Is there an arbitrage play where we can refer each other ?

I refer you and we both get 10% off - not bad, but then can you refer me and we are up to 20% :-)

A new subscriber would usually qualify for a 25% discount for the first year anyway, so is the 10% off instead of the 25% or in addition to it? For the subscriber, in effect it's 10% off 75% so really 32.5% off?

This pop-up is becoming very very disruptive - I will NOT be recommending anyone until I can get a clear sceen - Dismissal arrow not there - anyway on my screen - wasted 10 minutes already- Kindly get your software techies to sort it out

Randval

Absolutely agree. I can't see a way to get rid of message. Driving me mad on top of what has already been a bad day.

Hover over it and you should see an x to dismiss it.

Lawrence Judd

Hi both,

Apologies - I have amended this so it no longer fills the screen. There should be an X to close.

Ben,

For reasons many times stated - I can't move to the new site.

We've previously discussed how old site users referring new users, the new users only get a new site, and therefore friends can't share research and URLs between old and new.

I made my money on the old site. Not going to lose features and risk changing any of my badly functioning methods just because Stockopedia wants to change the flavour of Coca-Cola Classic or be like Microsoft killing Windows 7.

It would be great to hear when the new site is finally 50% as complete as the old.

Hi Lauren,

The 10% referral discount remains active for the entire length of your subscription (as long as your referral also remains a subscriber). Whereas the introductory discount is only applicable to the first year. You cannot use them in conjunction with each other.

Very annoying pop-up. Please desist. When I am convinced of Syockpedia's value, I will start to recommend it to others. For now, I am just not all that confident.

If that is the case, I would be rather annoyed if a friend took advantage of me by directing me to the referral discount rather than letting me know about the more favourable introductory discount. Or am I just naive about the values of the typical subscriber here?

Is Stockopedia still planning to phase out the 25% introductory discount? Just watching one of Ed’s webinars from last year (1h 28m in) and that’s what I understand him to say.

Edit: 1h 08m

Seriously - surely you should spend more time and resources on improving the site for existing customers rather than generating a marketing system. There are a number of features that are lacking - Funds; Proper Community etc - I certainly won't be referring anyone until we get a better site
