# Getting started

Flixerpay is a Nigerian creator-marketing marketplace. A brand posts a bounty; creators across Nigeria claim it, make the post or do the task, and get paid **in naira** once the brand approves. This guide covers the whole flow in about ten minutes.

The one thing to know first: **Flixerpay never holds your money.** Every payment settles on the [Uphiva](https://uphiva.com) rail — your wallet, not ours. Flixerpay tallies what is owed and tells Uphiva to pay it. See [How you get paid](/docs/how-you-get-paid).

## Four steps to your first payout

### 1. Sign in with Uphiva
Flixerpay uses **Sign in with Uphiva** — no separate password. Your Uphiva wallet is where earnings land, so signing in with it is what lets you get paid without a second setup step.

### 2. Finish onboarding
Tell us whether you are a **creator** (you make posts) or a **brand** (you run campaigns), pick your niches, and add your social handles and rough reach. Reach you type is shown as an **unverified claim** until a platform confirms it — connect an account and the real number replaces it.

### 3. Connect your X account (optional, but it pays)
Connecting X means Studio can post **as you**, rewards land on the account you post from, and your follower count is read straight from X — verified, not typed. Your Flixerpay handle keeps its checked reach instead of a number nobody can stand behind.

### 4. Claim a campaign, do the work, submit your proof
Browse **Discover**, read the brief, and claim a slot. Do exactly what the brief asks, then submit your proof — a post link, screenshots, or a short written answer, depending on what the campaign accepts. The brand reviews it, and on approval your bounty is released to your Uphiva wallet.

## How to pick campaigns

Claiming campaigns that fit your audience beats claiming everything — matched content gets approved more smoothly.

- **Read the brief before you claim.** It lists what to post, what to include, how to prove it, and how long it must stay up.
- **Check the fit.** If your followers would not care, skip it. A post that ignores the brief usually gets sent back.
- **Mind the window.** A slot is yours for a set number of hours; if you do not submit in time it goes back on the board for someone else.

## After you submit

1. **The brand reviews it** against the brief. They can approve, ask for a correction, or reject with a reason.
2. **On approval, the bounty is released** — Flixerpay instructs your Uphiva wallet; the money was ring-fenced when the brand funded the campaign, so approval is the only step between the work and the payout.
3. **Keep it up.** Many campaigns require the post to stay live for a set time. Deleting or hiding it early can reverse the approval.

Stuck? Everything settles on your Uphiva wallet, so a payment question is usually an Uphiva question. For anything Flixerpay, reach us from the app.
