How it works
Free access in. Word of mouth out.
Earnesty turns the free access you already give away into measurable distribution — without mediating what anyone says.
Connect once, set the shape
Connect Stripe (or call the API), then set what a claim is worth.
You also set how fast it decays, the reply bonus rate, and your branded partner tag.
Users post one honest line
When credits run out, their claim recharges — and they post whatever they actually think.
Their own words, your partner tag included. You never mediate the post; Earnesty only observes it.
Earnesty verifies & measures
We confirm the post is genuine, public, and carries the disclosure tag.
Then we measure the real replies it earns over a window — the signal you are actually buying.
Credits are granted
A set amount of credits for a qualifying post, plus a bonus scaled to the replies it sparks.
Delivered straight into your product — and spending them recharges the code, so the loop keeps going.
The loop, in detail
Trigger: the moment they run dry
A claim recharges once the credits they earned get used — so advocacy and product usage chase each other. You only ever pay for word of mouth from users who are actually using the thing.
Currency: credits, not days
Earnings are denominated in your product's native unit — credits — not time. It drops into the meter AI products already run on, with zero conceptual translation.
Earning: a decaying claim + reply bonus
A claim is worth the most the day it recharges and less every day it waits — so posting sooner always pays more. On top, a bonus scales with the discussion the post generates: real replies from real people, measured over an earning window.
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 gates anyone's post. The user posts on their own account, in their own voice; we observe the public result and verify it. That keeps the participation authentic and keeps you out of the business of scripting what people say.
One tag does all the work
Every earn-for-posting scheme before this asked users to write ad copy. We ask for one line and one tag: your branded partner tag, which names your product and discloses the relationship in a form the FTC itself cites. The first post links the user's account — after that, posting with the tag is all it takes. The post can say anything true: a demo, a tip, a comparison, even a complaint.

Drops
Turn a trickle into a moment.
Always-on earning is a thermostat — one post here, one there, whenever someone happens to run dry. A Drop is a megaphone: pick the moment and the audience — every user, a segment, even churned ones — and each person's claim is boosted, campaign-tagged, and synced to the same deadline. Twenty posts in a weekend instead of one a week, all browsable under a single tag, with bonuses that make staying on-topic the profitable choice rather than a script. Every Drop ends with a shareable report: posts, reach, replies, best quotes.
Why replies — not views, likes, or referrals
Views and likes are cheap and gameable; referrals reward signups, not reach. Replies from real people are the signal that actually correlates with distribution, and the hardest to fake. Rewarding it is what makes the loop both effective and defensible.
Authenticity
Incentivize participation, never praise.
The one hard rule: the product must be present; the relationship can be anything. We reward that a user shared a real usage moment with the product identified — not that they said something nice. We never judge, edit, or influence what gets said, so criticism and ambivalence qualify exactly like praise. That's the difference between authentic participation and paid endorsement, and it's deliberate: it's what keeps audiences — and advocates — trusting what they see.
