## In short

Open [Explore](https://satt.com/explore), pick an AdPool that pays your network, check “What you earn”, publish a post that follows the brief, then submit it: pick it from your connected account or paste its link. After the oracle measures it and the 48-hour [maturation](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#maturation) passes, the reward lands in your $ balance or becomes claimable in your wallet.

## What do you need before applying?

- A [verified account](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verified-account) on the network you post on, proven by an official connection or a [bio code](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#bio-code). Self-declared accounts are refused.
- For dollar pools: a SaTT account (e-mail or social sign-in). For crypto pools: a connected [wallet](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#wallet) with a little BNB for gas (test BNB during the alpha).
- Enough followers for the pool’s first [audience tier](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#audience-tier) if it pays a fixed price per post.

See [Verify Instagram via Facebook](https://satt.com/guides/how-to/verify-instagram-via-facebook) or [Connect TikTok](https://satt.com/guides/how-to/connect-tiktok) if your account is not verified yet.

## How do you apply and get paid, step by step?

1. **Choose a pool** — In [Explore](https://satt.com/explore), filter by network and status. Open a pool and read the brief and “What you earn”, which shows your own price, for example “Your price on Instagram: 5,000 followers × $2.00 per 1,000 = $10.00 per post”.
2. **Publish the post** — Post on your verified account, following the brief: format, hashtags, mentions, link. Keep it public.
3. **Submit it** — Use **Pick one of your posts** if your account is connected, or paste the post link. On a crypto pool, press **Apply on-chain** to commit the post.
4. **Wait for measurement and maturation** — The oracle reads the numbers and the fraud checks score them. Nothing is payable during the first 48 hours after the first measurement.
5. **Get paid** — Dollar rewards are credited to your balance (see Activity). Crypto rewards are claimed from the pool page with **Claim my earnings**.

## How much do you earn?

| Pool type | How you are paid | Example (gross) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fixed price per post | Followers × price per 1,000 followers of your tier, capped | 20,000 followers × $1.80 = $36 per post |
| Performance | Price per 1,000 views + per like + per share, capped per post | 10,000 views × $1.00 + 300 likes × $0.01 = $13 |
| Quest | Prizes drawn among ticket holders | See [Join a Quest](https://satt.com/guides/how-to/join-a-quest) |

Crypto amounts are shown gross: the [platform fee](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#platform-fee) (5% on SaTT pools, 15% otherwise) is deducted when you claim. Dollar pools take the fee from the advertiser’s budget at funding, so the prices you see are what you earn.

## Why can a submission be refused or delayed?

- “This AdPool doesn’t reward Instagram posts” (or another network): the pool does not pay that network.
- Below the first tier, or “tier full”: your audience is too small, or every slot of your tier is taken.
- The post is on an account that is not verified: connect it or add a bio code, then try again.
- “Flagged”: the advertiser must approve the post before it is paid.
- The network “can’t be measured yet”: the post is reviewed manually.

## Key takeaways

- Only posts from verified accounts can be paid.
- “What you earn” shows your exact price before you post.
- Payment starts 48 hours after the first measurement.
- Dollars land in your balance; crypto is claimed from the pool page.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is there a follower minimum?

SaTT has none. Fixed-price pools start at their first tier (often 1,000 followers); performance pools pay per result, so small accounts can join.

### Can I submit several posts to the same pool?

Yes, up to the pool’s “max posts per creator” limit shown on the pool page (0 means no limit).

### Can I delete my post after being paid?

Keep it online until the pool ends. Deleted or private posts are blocked: nothing more is paid and any holdback is forfeited.
