Creators have started building out their apps, and it's caused some movement in the Whop app leaderboard! In May, the Courses app moved up in the ranks, snagging the #1 spot with over 2,000 downloads from creators like yourself.
*^ If you're currently hosting different products on different platforms, you can move them all over to Whop apps so your users can access them all in one place*

In May, we launched what might be our most exciting creator dashboard yet – [Growth Hacks](https://whop.com/dash/growth-hacks/)! This page lets you track exactly how much extra revenue you're generating by putting our moneymaking tips into action.
We'll be adding more growth hacks to the dashboard in the future, but this month, these were the two ways our data showed that creators grew their businesses:
### **1) Optimize pricing with an annual option 🕐**
The average creator will gain around **8% more revenue** by adding an annual pricing option to their existing prices.
*PS this is a real screenshot from a real creator's Growth Hack dash– this stuff actually works! *
**Why it Works: **
- You can protect against volatility 📉
- You attract serious, committed, + engaged customers ✍️* *
*🚨 NEW WHOP FEATURE ALERT - Customers can see right on your store page how much they would save if they purchase a longer-term membership!*
**How to do it:**
- On your "Products" page, click on the product you're selling
- Click "+ Create Pricing Option"
- Set your "Subscription Price" and set the "Subscription Period" to 1 year
*^ Adding a yearly pricing option is THIS EASY!! *
### **2) Set up global affiliates 🌎**
Creators who set up Global Affiliates gain around** 6% in added revenue** – just by turning them on! Let any of your members refer their friends to your product, and reward the referrer once their friend makes a purchase!
*A real creator on Whop has made over 19k, just by turning on Global Affiliates 🤯 This could be you! Run, don't walk -- go turn on Global Affiliates for your company now!*
**Why it Works:**
- Get organic growth from your existing community 🧑🤝🧑
- Affiliates = easy marketing with no upfront cost 🌐
**How to do it:**
- On the Affiliates page (under "Marketing" on your dashboard), click on the "Global Affiliates" button
- Hit "Add reward" for any and all products your members will be able to refer
- Set your reward (as a % or flat $ amount) for successful referrals
*^Set either one-time or recurring affiliate rewards for each product + pricing option *
