How it works
Free access in. Word of mouth out.
A free tier is real money spent on silence. Earnesty gives that spend a job: rewarding the users who post about your product, in their own words.
Connect once, set the shape
Wire the grant into your product — one webhook or one API call — then set the numbers: what a post is worth, how often one can earn, and what conversation adds on top.
That is the integration. Nothing else about your product changes, and your paid plans stay exactly as they are.
They post & tag
A claim opens on the cooldown you set, and they post about your product — whatever they actually think.
Their own words, from their own account, with your partner tag in it. Nobody drafts it for them.
Earnesty verifies & measures
We confirm the post is public, from their own account, and carries the disclosure tag.
Then we watch what the post starts. Replies earn on top of the base — up to a ceiling you set.
Your product pays out
The amount you set for a qualifying post, plus the reply bonus. You grant it; we verify and relay.
It lands in the meter they already use, and the claim re-opens once the cooldown is up. That is the loop.

The loop, in detail
Eligibility: on from day one, never gated on empty
Nobody waits to hit zero. The reward is there from the start, and it comes back on its own once the cooldown you set has passed — no call from you, nothing for them to claim. You also set how many posts a month you’ll pay for per user, so the ceiling on all of it is a number you chose.
Rewards: you decide what one is worth
Credits, model tokens, an extra seat, a month of Pro, early access to the thing you haven’t shipped yet. Whatever your product already meters, you can pay a post in — and you set the number. It lands in the meter you already run on, so there’s nothing new to explain to anyone.
Earning: a flat number, plus a reply bonus
A post is worth the number you set — the same on the day the claim opens as on any day after, and the same whether we verify it in a minute or a day. Nobody has to work out what today is worth before deciding to post. Then the reply bonus, on top. It tracks conversation — not views, not followers, not reach — and you set what it can reach.
Fraud guard: built into the binding
One claim, one post, one linked account. A post from an unlinked account earns nothing until its owner claims it from inside your product — so burner-account farming has nothing to farm.
Monitor, don't mediate
Earnesty never writes, drafts, or approves a post. The user posts from their own account, in their own voice, and we verify the public result. You stay out of the business of scripting what people say about you — which is the only reason any of it is worth reading.
One tag does all the work
Every earn-for-posting scheme before this asked users to write ad copy. We ask for one tag. Your branded partner tag names your product and discloses the relationship in the same breath — the branded form the FTC’s own FAQ singles out as the understandable one, where a bare #partner is not.
A rewarded post is a paid endorsement, and the tag is what says so. That is not a warning label stuck on the end. It is the thing that lets a reader take the post for what it is. The first post links the user's account; after that, the tag is the whole job — and the post itself can say anything true. A demo, a tip, a comparison, a complaint.

Drops
Ask for posts about one thing.
A Drop is an open request: tell some or all of your users what you’d like them to post about, raise what a post is worth for a set window, and see who takes it up. Nobody has to. The ones who do get the bigger reward.
Shipped a feature nobody noticed? Ask. Want to hear what people made this month? Ask. Everyday earning is a trickle of posts about whatever someone happened to be doing; a Drop points that at one topic, in one week, so it lands like something instead of nothing.
You still don’t get to say what they think about it. The reward goes up for posting on the topic, never for liking it — and you get a report at the end with every post in it, the awkward ones too.
Why replies — not views, likes, or referrals
Views and likes are cheap and gameable. Referrals reward a signup, not a conversation. A reply takes a person deciding to say something back — impressions have a market rate, and that does not. It is the one part of the result nobody can buy, which is why it is the part we count.
Unscripted
Incentivize participation, never praise.
Verification never reads sentiment. It cannot — nothing in the check looks at whether a post was kind. A complaint that names your product and carries the tag earns exactly what a rave does.
The one hard rule is that the product has to be present. The opinion belongs to whoever is posting. We reward the act, never the flattery, and paid does not have to mean scripted — which is why a post out of this loop says more to a reader than a testimonial they can tell was bought.
