Post. Move your audience. Earn.

How this differs from applying

MarketWar runs two creator programmes and they are two doors into one account, not two companies. The influencer bands pay 1% at 10,000 verified followers and 0.75% between 5,000 and 9,999 — and they are reviewed precisely because they pay more: you state your channels, an agent or a human reads your public profiles, and the verified count is what unlocks the rate. SHARE2EARN pays 0.5% and is not reviewed at all, because a review queue in front of a rate anyone qualifies for exists only to turn people away.

Joining SHARE2EARN and applying to the creator programme are two doors into one account. Join now, grow an audience, apply later — the same account moves to 0.75% at 5,000 verified followers and 1% at 10,000. Nothing already earned is lost, no balance is reset, and you never start again.

0.5% is also a ceiling (0.5%): SHARE2EARN can never pay more than the influencer bands it sits beneath. That is arithmetic in the code rather than a policy somebody has to remember — the rate is derived as the minimum of its own cap and every influencer band, so cutting a band drags this one down with it instead of letting it overtake.

What you can promote

Each brand decides that, and it picks one of three settings. Missions only — the brand publishes missions with a written brief and a funded reward, and those are the only way to earn on it. Curated catalogue — the brand lists products and switches on the ones creators may take. Open catalogue — everything the brand lists is promotable by default and it excludes individual items instead.

In the last two you browse and claim without asking anyone: claiming issues you a tracked link to the brand’s own product page, and the sale it produces pays you 0.5% once it is verified.

One honest limit, and it is the same one that protects the rate: a product only becomes claimable if its own margin can fund the commission. A brand can open its entire range and still find an item marked ineligible — that is the product’s economics refusing, not us. When that happens the product pays nothing rather than quietly paying you a smaller percentage, because a headline rate that shrinks on some items is a rate nobody can trust.

What gets counted

Cash is paid on verified sales. Not on clicks, not on views, not on follower count — the commission is 0.5% of the eligible net value, which is the product value with tax, delivery, tips, gift cards and refunds taken out. Money the merchant never keeps cannot fund a commission, and pretending otherwise is how these programmes end up paying creators out of VAT.

Everything else you do — posting, sharing, bringing people in — earns XP toward levels and bonuses rather than cash. That is not a downgrade dressed up: engagement we cannot verify as revenue is engagement we cannot honestly pay for, and a programme that pays for unverifiable reach is a programme that gets drained by whoever notices first.

Who gets credited, and for how long

Last click wins, for 90 days. If someone clicks your link and signs up three weeks later, you are credited. If they click a different creator’s link in between, that creator is credited instead — the most recent click before the signup is the one that counts. If nobody’s link has been clicked for 90 days, nobody is credited.

One honest limit, because you would find it eventually and it is better said now. The 90 days need a small first-party cookie, and a cookie is something the visitor has to agree to — referral attribution is not a “necessary” cookie under UK law and we are not going to pretend it is. If they decline, nothing is stored on their device and you are still credited for the visit: the code travels in the web address from your link through to the signup page, which is how most referred signups happen anyway. What you lose in that case is the person who leaves and comes back a week later.

A signup is credited once and once only — a refresh, a second tab or a retried request cannot create a second referral — and you cannot refer your own account.

Getting paid

Earnings settle after a hold, then you verify your identity once and withdraw to whichever rail suits you — bank, card, PayPal, Wise, or mobile money on M-Pesa, Orange, Airtel and Africell. You are paid gross: no tax is withheld, because you are not our employee. Every fee is shown before you confirm, and our administration fee is 3% of the provider’s processing fee rather than of your withdrawal.

The detail is in the creator payout economics article, the guide to the earning programmes, and §9 of the terms. If you would rather be reviewed for the higher bands, apply here — we score the audience for fit, quality and brand safety, and verify the follower count by reading your public profiles or by a human reviewer.
