How to Submit Your Post Link & How View Tracking Works

1. Submitting Your Live Post

After you have joined a campaign and published the brand's creative asset to your connected social channel, submitting your link takes under a minute:

1. Open your social media app and copy the share link of your newly published post.
2. Head to your Creator Dashboard or open My Submissions.
3. Find your active campaign card and paste your link into the Video / Post URL field.
4. Click Submit Post.

2. Automated Security Checks on Submission

When you click submit, our system instantly runs three automated checks:

• Platform Match: Confirms that the link matches the platform specified for the campaign (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, or Facebook).
• Account Match: Verifies that the post was published from the exact social handle you selected when joining the campaign.
• Duplicate Prevention: Ensures that the same post link has not already been submitted by someone else.

3. The 60-Minute Organic Growth Window

Once your link is submitted:

• No Immediate Zero-View Check: We know that social media algorithms take time to distribute content. Your submission enters an initial 60-minute organic growth window.
• Give Your Post Momentum: During this first hour, your post is free to circulate, gather likes, and start accumulating views naturally without any premature audit pressure.
• Your Submission Status: Your dashboard will show your submission as Pending while this growth window is active.

4. How Automated View Auditing Works

Following the 60-minute growth window, Kpugi's automated system monitors your live post periodically:

• Counting Verified Views: The system reads your public view counter and converts those views directly into Naira earnings on your dashboard.
• Checking Post Integrity: The system verifies that the post remains live, the brand tag is intact, and the audio is audible (not muted for copyright).
• Live Dashboard Updates: As your view count climbs, your dashboard counters update to reflect your growing earnings.

5. Important Rules to Protect Your Earnings

To ensure all your views count toward your payout:

• Keep Your Post Public: Never switch your profile or post to "Private" or "Friends Only". If the system cannot see your post, it cannot count your views.
• Do Not Delete or Archive: Your post must remain active and accessible throughout the campaign period. Deleting or archiving the post cancels your submission and forfeits pending earnings.
• Do Not Edit Required Tags: Keep the required sponsor tag and campaign hashtags in your caption. Removing them will pause your submission for compliance review.
• Use Commercial Audio: Always use royalty-free or commercial library audio so your video is not muted by platform copyright filters.
