How earning works on PeoplesTalk
A step-by-step reference for your account — what you earn, how it adds up, and how to cash out.
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.
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.
Publish your first post
Posting after activation earns your account activation bonus and starts your Engagement count.
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.
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.
Earning Coins
Coins are the only balance you can redeem for money. Here's every action that adds to it.

Cashing out
Once your Coins balance is ready, here's how redemption works.
Reach the minimum payout
You need at least 200 coins in your balance before a payout can be requested.
Check the exchange rate
200 coins converts to $1 USD. Your dashboard balance shows the current dollar equivalent.
Reputation and Engagement aren't cashed out
Only Coins convert to money. Reputation and Engagement track your standing and activity level instead.
200 coins
That's the full picture. Keep posting, connecting, and participating — every balance updates automatically as you go.
