Bonuses & Referrals — Free Money, Basically 🎁🐷

Three ways to earn on top of your earnings. Two happen by themselves. One needs a button press. 🎁

All calculated on your net earnings — your listed prices, not what supporters paid on top. ✅

This is the part people get wrong. Not every earning type counts toward every bonus.

In plain English:

📊 Everything counts toward getting you there. Card, Pay by Bank and Tips all add up when we work out whether you've reached a qualifying threshold.

🎁 Fast Start pays on card and Pay by Bank earnings.

👑 Founder pays on card earnings.

So a big month of Tips helps you qualify — it just isn't what the percentage is calculated against. 🐷

Your first 30 days, automatically, on your card and Pay by Bank earnings.

Earn £1,000 through those rails in your first month and that's an extra £50 without doing anything.

Front-loading matters. The content you were going to post in week six earns you more in week one. Get listings live early rather than perfecting them for a fortnight. ⚡

Once per creator, first 30 days only.

10% of your monthly card earnings, where your total monthly earnings fall between £2,500 and £10,000. Capped at £1,000 a month.

Paid monthly, automatically, for as long as you're in that band. 📈

⚠️ Limited seats. The founder programme isn't open-ended.

£50 per creator who signs up through you — payable once that creator has earned £1,000.

So it isn't paid on sign-up. It's paid when the person you brought in is genuinely earning.

📊 Their Tips count toward their £1,000, same as card and bank earnings
👆 You still have to press the button in your profile once it lands — referral bonuses don't send themselves 💸

Fast Start and Founder bonuses arrive on their own. Referral bonuses don't.

Once one has landed, a button appears in your profile. Press it, and the money goes out as an additional payment, separate from the normal weekly run.

⚠️ Nobody will chase you for it. Referred three creators and never pressed it? That's £150 sitting in your profile. Go and look. 💸

Important, and easily missed.

If you qualify for a bonus but haven't connected your Stripe Connect payout account, the bonus is held as pending. It isn't lost and it isn't cancelled — it just can't be paid until there's somewhere to pay it to.

You'll be told, clearly, with a prompt to connect. Do it as soon as you see it. ✅

See Your Stripe Connect Account 🏦🐷.

Bonuses show in your account as you earn them — including anything pending, and any referral waiting on your click. No wondering whether you qualified, no application form, no chasing.

Fast Start and Founder — on the normal weekly cycle. Friday to Thursday, paid the following Friday, usually landing Monday.

Referral — as a separate payment, once you press the button.

Any bonus, if your payout account isn't connected — pending until it is. 🏦

✅ Go hard in your first 30 days. The 5% only exists once.
✅ Connect your payout account before you start earning, not after
✅ Refer creators who'll actually use it 🤝
✅ Check your profile for an unclaimed referral button. Do it now, honestly.
✅ Watch the £2,500 line if you're close

"Are bonuses calculated before or after fees?"
On your net earnings — your listed prices. Supporters cover fees on top, so it's the number you actually receive. ✅

"Do Tips count?"
Toward qualifying, yes. Toward the Fast Start or Founder percentage, no. See the table above. 💠

"Can I get Fast Start and Founder together?"
Yes, if you qualify for both in your first 30 days.

"Why is my bonus showing as pending?"
Almost always a payout account that isn't connected. Connect it and it'll pay. 🏦

"Do I have to apply?"
No. Fast Start and Founder are automatic. Referral just needs the button. 👆

"Is there a limit on referrals?"
No cap.

"I referred someone but see no bonus."
Check your profile for the button. Nothing there? Message us with their username. 💬

Two arrive on their own. One's waiting for you. 🎁🐷
