Definition
An open, low-friction ambassador layer that captures organic advocacy at scale — power users, operators, and creators who can join and contribute without heavy process.
In practice
- Use a self-serve entry point that can be understood “in one scroll” and joined in minutes.
- Provide a canonical link library + asset kits so contributions stay accurate and easy to reference.
Common mistakes
- Adding heavy approval gates that kill the self-serve nature of the tier.
- Optimizing for follower count over relevance and accuracy.
