Why Coupons Can Be Helpful — If You Use Them Right

For a lot of solo founders and small teams, the hardest part about signing up for a tool isn’t the price — it’s deciding if it’s the right tool.

That’s where a simple coupon can help. It’s not about urgency or pressure. It’s just a friendly nudge — a way of saying, “Hey, if you’re curious about Umso, here’s a little incentive to give it a try.”

Done right, coupons can help your followers make a decision they already want to make. And they feel good about it, too.

How Our Affiliate Coupons Work

Here’s the basics:

  • You can create your own personal coupon code (like JANE10) right in your FirstPromoter dashboard after you sign up as our Affiliate Partner.

  • No need to wait for approval — it’s built to be fast and flexible.

  • Coupons offer 10% off the first 3 months of Umso.

  • Let your referrals know they need to enter the code during their site upgrade process. To ensure they apply it correctly, feel free to share this help article for step-by-step guidance.

  • When someone uses your coupon, you still earn your 30% recurring commission, based on the discounted amount. ​

That last part is worth repeating: your commission is calculated from the final price after the discount.

So while you might earn slightly less per signup, you’ll likely earn more total signups, because you’ve made the decision easier for someone who’s already on the fence.

When (and When Not) to Use a Coupon

Good times to share a coupon:

  • In a personal recommendation, like a blog post or email, where you’re explaining why you use Umso

  • When someone’s already interested, but still hesitating

  • As a “thanks” after a helpful post, like: “By the way, here’s a discount if you want to try it yourself.” ​

What to avoid:

  • Leading with the discount in every post (makes it feel salesy)

  • Mass-posting your coupon without context

  • Making the coupon the reason instead of the bonus ​

People trust you because you’re honest. Keep that as the priority, and let the coupon just be a helpful add-on.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need a coupon to promote Umso. The product speaks for itself.

But if you think it’ll help someone finally take that first step, it’s a great tool to have in your back pocket.

And like everything at Umso, we’re here to make it easy.
