# Creator Quickstart: How to Earn From Your First Campaign

Welcome to Kpugi! If you have active followers on TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter), or YouTube, you can earn real money per verified view without spending hours filming videos or editing clips.

---

## Step 1: Complete Your Profile & KYC Verification

1. Sign in to your Kpugi account.
2. Go to **Settings > Social Profiles** and link your public social handles (TikTok, Instagram, X, YouTube).
3. Go to **Settings > Identity Verification** to complete your **mandatory KYC** using your NIN, Voter's Card, Driver's License, or International Passport. You must be KYC-verified before you can withdraw earnings!

## Step 2: Pick an Active Campaign from the Marketplace

Navigate to **Marketplace** to see active campaigns from brands looking for reach.

Before picking a campaign, check:

- **Eligible Platforms:** Does the campaign accept TikTok, Instagram Reels, or X?
- **Rate Per 1,000 Views (CPM):** How much cash you earn for every batch of verified views.
- **Max Payout Cap:** The maximum amount a single creator can earn on that specific campaign.
- **Remaining Budget:** Ensure the campaign still has open budget available.

## Step 3: Download the Brand's Official Creative Asset

Click into the campaign to open the brief.

- Look for the **Attached Creative Asset** (usually a ready-made .mp4 video or promo flyer).
- Click **Download** to save it directly to your phone or laptop.
- **Important:** Do NOT edit the video, remove logos, add funny filters, or alter the brand's footage. Brands pay for their exact official creative to be shown.

---

## Step 4: Post on Your Channel with Required Tags

Open your social media app and publish the downloaded video or flyer:

- **Caption & Hashtags:** Copy the exact required caption and mandatory hashtags (e.g. #BrandCampaign #KpugiAd) from the brief and paste them into your post.
- **Sound / Audio:** If the brief specifies an official sound or song, select it before publishing.
- Keep the post public!

---

## Step 5: Submit Your Live Post Link on Kpugi

Once your post is live:

1. Copy the share link of your live post (e.g. [https://www.tiktok.com/@yourname/video/](https://www.tiktok.com/@yourname/video/)...).
2. Return to the campaign page on Kpugi.
3. Click **\\"Submit Proof\\"**, paste your post link, and click **Submit**.

Our system will confirm your link is valid, check that the required caption/hashtags are present, and begin monitoring your view count.

---

## Step 6: Watch Views Count & Withdraw Every Friday

- **Automated View Tracking:** As your followers and new audiences watch your post, Kpugi tracks and verifies the views.
- **Minimum Withdrawal:** Once your available balance reaches at least **₦10,000**, you can request a withdrawal.
- **Weekly Friday Payouts:** Kpugi pays out every Friday. Withdrawal requests submitted this week will be disbursed next week Friday directly into your Nigerian bank account.

## Golden Rules for Creators

⚠️ **Never use bots or view manipulation services.** Kpugi has automated anti-fraud filters. Fake views will trigger an immediate permanent account ban and forfeiture of all earnings.

⚠️ **Do not delete your post early.** Posts must remain public for the minimum period specified in the brief to qualify for final payout.
