Promoter Quickstart Guide

Go from zero to earning Bitcoin in five steps. This guide walks you through creating your account, finding campaigns, and sharing your first link.

Step 01
Create your account

Head to the registration page and sign up with your email address. Verification is instant.

Once you are in, complete your profile: add a display name, short bio, and your BSV payment address. Promoters with completed profiles get prioritized in campaign discovery, so take a minute to fill everything out.

Your payment address is where earnings are sent. You can use any BSV wallet, such as HandCash, Yours Wallet, or ElectrumSV.

Step 02
Browse campaigns

Visit the campaign marketplace to see what brands and businesses are paying for right now. Each listing shows the payout model, rate, and requirements up front.

Filter by payout model to find what suits you best: CPC (cost per click) pays for every click, CPI (cost per install) pays when someone installs an app, and CPA (cost per action) pays for signups, purchases, or other defined actions.

Read campaign descriptions carefully. Some campaigns are open to all promoters, while others require approval before you can generate a link.

Step 03
Generate your link

Found a campaign you want to promote? Click the "Get Link" button on the campaign page. TonicPow generates a unique tracked short link on tpow.link that is tied to your account.

You can customize the slug of your short link to make it memorable and trustworthy for your audience. A clean, readable link gets more clicks than a random string of characters.

Copy the link to your clipboard. Every click through this link is tracked and attributed to you automatically.

Step 04
Share strategically

Post your link where your audience already hangs out: Twitter, YouTube descriptions, blog posts, Discord servers, email newsletters, or your personal website. Context matters more than volume.

Write genuine recommendations. Explain why you think the product or service is worth checking out. Authentic promotion consistently outperforms generic "click here" spam.

Always disclose that your link is an affiliate link. Transparency builds trust with your audience, and most platforms require it. A simple note like "affiliate link" is sufficient.

Step 05
Track and earn

Open your TonicPow dashboard to monitor clicks and conversions in real time. You will see exactly which links are performing and how much you have earned.

Earnings appear the moment a conversion is confirmed. There are no 30-day waiting periods and no minimum payout thresholds. Every satoshi is yours immediately.

Withdraw your earnings at any time to the BSV address on your profile. Settlement is on-chain, so you have full custody of your funds from the first click.

Pro tips for maximizing earnings
  • Focus on two or three campaigns that genuinely fit your audience rather than promoting everything.
  • Track which platforms drive the most conversions, not just clicks. A blog post with 50 clicks and 10 conversions beats a tweet with 500 clicks and 2 conversions.
  • Build a resource page on your website that links to your top recommendations. Evergreen content earns while you sleep.
  • Engage with the campaign advertiser. Some will provide custom creative assets, exclusive discount codes, or higher rates for top-performing promoters.
