 The above example is short, sweet, straightforward, and links to both the product’s website and the founder’s LinkedIn page. Those last two are important because the more you build out your online presence, the less you have to describe yourself or what you do in emails. Always let your product and brand speak for themselves.
 
 ### Give away stuff for free
-Free is the 2nd best word in the dictionary (right after ‘paid’) and giveaways can help lower the barrier to entry for new customers. You can offer free beta tester access, free trials, free merch for performing certain actions (like the PH swag we give our [contributors](https://posthog.com/contributors)), and free points, usage quotas, or extra features for a limited time. Be generous with your product in the early days — remember that you’re trying to convince strangers to take a chance on you and part with their cash for it. Give them a small taste now to hook them in for the long haul.

 ### Keep the beta signups limited and invite-only
 Scarcity is a powerful tool, and limiting access to a product for a limited time can boost signups significantly. Just ask [Clubhouse](https://www.joinclubhouse.com/), the online audio streaming app that crossed [2m](https://www.axios.com/clubhouse-andreessen-horowitz-3a10475a-becd-4483-a81e-9ce76d24e85f.html) users as of writing and raised $100m in funding after a protracted invite-only period of user acquisition. You can leverage network effects and virality to grow your early subscriber base in the same way.

 Open-source requires a decently-sized, highly engaged community for any business model to work. People have to believe in your solution enough to contribute code, comments, or cash to it. If money is a priority for your business, open-source might not be the path for you.

 In the near term, our AAARRRP goals are Activation, Retention, Referral, and Product. Instead of narrowing in on specific activities, we've broadly mapped the priorities as:
 
 1. **Oversee documentation**: This isn't about dictating how documentation is written or being a gatekeeper. It's about encouraging and enabling consistency, having the time to iterate on content that could otherwise become stale, and identifying gaps based on analysis, feedback, or utilizing team experience. DevRel, much like our amazing <SmallTeam slug="brand" />, can function as a service team with people deployed to the small team that most requires them at that time.
-2. **Catalyze our community**: We have a thriving community across [our GitHub repos](https://github.com/posthog) and the [PostHog community page](/posts). On GitHub, we reward contributions with thanks on our READMEs, a listing on the [Contributors page](/contributors) of our website, and credit for our [merch store](https://merch.posthog.com). But we want to do more to build upon this fantastic foundation because [community is core to our business](/handbook/strategy/business-model#why-would-you-work-on-the-community-edition).

-## Apps
-
-If you build a app for PostHog that is accepted into our [official repository](https://github.com/PostHog/plugin-repository), we will list you as a contributor in the categories `code` and `plugin` or `app`, as well as send you some merch. 
-
-## Non-PR contributions
-
-We follow the [All Contributors spec](https://allcontributors.org/docs/en/emoji-key) for recognizing contributions. This means that if you are actively engaged in discussions, open bug reports, or contribute in other ways, a PostHog team member is able to add you to our contributors list for any of the contribution types listed in the link above.
-
-At the moment we only provide merch for `code` (PR merged) and `plugin` or `app` (app accepted into official repo) contributions, however, as a contributor in a category other than those two, we'll still list you on our [README](https://github.com/PostHog/posthog#contributors-) and create a contributor card for you on our [contributors page](/contributors).
-
-## Contributor cards
-
-All accepted contributors get a digital contributor card from us, which you can find in our [contributors page](/contributors).
-
-Here's an explanation of the contents of that card:
-
-### Community MVPs
-
-Every time we do a release, starting with version 1.22.0, we have nominated a 'Community MVP'. This is a contributor that we have chosen to give special recognition to for one or many awesome contributions to PostHog over a given release cycle.
-
-If you ever win one of these awards from us, they will appear as trophies on your contributor card. The number of trophies is equal to the number of times you've been named community MVP.
-
-### Level
-
-Your contributor level is determined by how many pull requests you have had merged.
-
-<blockquote class='warning-note'>
-
-While we have created cards for all past contributors, we have only started tracking levels from 26/03/2021, which is why your card might say 'lvl 0' even if you had a PR merged before.
-
-</blockquote>
-
-### Powers
-
-'Powers' refer to the types of contributions you've made to PostHog. The types of contributions available can be seen on the [All Contributors spec](https://allcontributors.org/docs/en/emoji-key).
-
-Contributions of type `code` are automatically provided to you for merged pull requests. All other contribution types must be manually requested by a member of the PostHog team.
