James Mensah turned a single WhatsApp message into a $15,000 month. Here's how he scaled his My Place referral link into a real income stream.
James Mensah had never thought of himself as a salesperson. A digital marketing consultant from Accra who had been living in Northbridge for four years, James was comfortable with campaigns and data — not cold outreach.
Then he discovered the My Place Community referral program.
"I sent one WhatsApp message to my contacts group about an Afrobeats Friday event. Within two hours, 14 people had bought tickets through my link. I had earned $180 before I even left my apartment."
Over the next three months, James systematically shared every My Place event with his community of 2,400 Perth contacts. He earned commissions on every ticket — ranging from 10% to 20% per sale.
"In March I earned over $15,000 from referral commissions alone. My side hustle is now my main hustle."
