Tribute | Monetize your content

🎁 Only 3 days left until the New Year’s raffle ends!

It’s the perfect time to check how many tickets you have and get ready for the live broadcast of the results — we’ll be hosting it on January 17.

And if you’ve been busy preparing for the holidays and haven’t heard about the giveaway, hurry up and read the announcement. There’s still time to join in! Get your tickets by January 12, and you could hold the winning one.

We bring you our congratulations and a card from the team. With love 💙

There are just a few days left until the New Year! While rest is important, the quieter period in early January offers a unique opportunity to connect more with your followers. It’s a time when big brands slow down, creating space for creators to shine!

Let’s brainstorm ideas for what to post in the first few weeks of January. And don’t hesitate to share your own creative ideas with us in the comments!

New Year is just a week away, and there's still so much to do!

To avoid getting lost in the final days of 2024, we've put together a small checklist:
✅ Make sure all the treats and snacks for the holiday are bought;
✅ Create a content plan for the first days of January so you can relax and not worry about anything;
✅ Check your tickets for the New Year raffle from Tribute;
✅ Review the list of gifts for friends and family;
✅ Pick some your favorite movies to get you into the holiday spirit.

What else do you think should be on the list? Share in the comments. Wishing you all a Happy New Year and good luck!

❌Felix Foodie
✅Felix Foodie, restaurant critic, author of the “Good Food" blog.

Hello, creators! 🌟
We’ve recently launched the physical products feature. And noticed that you have a lot of questions about it – so we’ve published the answers to the most frequently asked ones:

Read the FAQ

🙋‍♀️ Didn’t find the answer to your question? Feel free to leave it in the comments below this post, and we’ll be happy to help!

Here are the answers to the most common questions about the referral program:

Does the partner also pay the commission?
❌ No, only the creator pays the commission. The remaining amount is split with the partner according to the offer’s terms.

What does the "reward period" mean?
⏳It’s the period during which the partner earns revenue. This duration can vary for each partner. For example, if you set the offer duration to six months, and a user makes a purchase through the referral link, the partner will receive % from all purchases made by that user for the next six months.

What is the best way to promote my referral offer?
📢Share your referral offer on social media and provide a detailed description of the product and some info about yourself — who you are and what you do. It's also a good idea to explain the mechanics: what will the partner earn and what steps they need to take. This will motivate partners to join your offer
