Step 1 of 5

Start here

Your account already tracks three separate balances. Here's what each one does and the fastest way to move all three in your first session.

1

Finish your profile

Add a photo, cover image, location, and contact details. This earns both Coins and Reputation, and it's the one step every other feature builds on.

2

Publish your first post

Posting after activation earns your account activation bonus and starts your Engagement count.

3

Follow a few people and join a group

This is where Reputation and Engagement start compounding — the more the community sees your activity, the more both balances grow.

4

Send an invite

Coins from invitations are the only reward that scales with people outside the platform — useful once you're comfortable with how everything else works.

Building Reputation

Reputation isn't spendable — it reflects how the community responds to you, and it unlocks achievement milestones.

Cashing out

Once your Coins balance is ready, here's how redemption works.

1

Reach the minimum payout

You need at least 200 coins in your balance before a payout can be requested.

2

Check the exchange rate

200 coins converts to $1 USD. Your dashboard balance shows the current dollar equivalent.

3

Reputation and Engagement aren't cashed out

Only Coins convert to money. Reputation and Engagement track your standing and activity level instead.

That's the full picture. Keep posting, connecting, and participating — every balance updates automatically as you go.
