Key takeaways
- You pay per approved completion, never for impressions or clicks.
- Our team reviews every campaign before it goes live.
- You review every completion yourself, inside your approval window.
The three parties
Sharklio connects three groups of people, and it helps to keep them apart from the start.
- Advertisers create campaigns that ask people to complete a clear action, such as installing an app, following a page, or signing up for a service.
- Publishers are websites, apps, and communities that show the Sharklio offerwall to their own users and reward them in their own currency.
- End users are the people who open the offerwall inside a publisher property, complete tasks, and receive rewards from that publisher.
As an advertiser, you never deal with payouts to end users. You set a price per completion, and the rest of the chain is handled between Sharklio and the publisher.
What you pay for
Traditional ads charge for exposure. Sharklio charges for results. You pay the bid you set for a country only when a completion meets your requirements and is approved. Rejected completions cost nothing, and there are no monthly fees or minimum spend commitments.
Campaigns are funded from a prepaid balance. You need at least $1 in your balance to submit a campaign for review, and each approved completion is deducted from it.
The life of a campaign
- Create. Write the title, the step-by-step instructions, and what the proof must show. You can save a draft at any time.
- Target and price. Choose the countries, devices, operating systems, browsers, and age range, then set a bid for each country.
- Submit for review. Our team checks that the task is legitimate, clear, and allowed. We aim to finish reviews within a few hours.
- Go live. Users see your task in the offerwall and start completing it within your budget and caps.
- Review completions. Each completion arrives in your dashboard with its proof and details. You approve or reject it before your approval window ends.
Two different checks
It is easy to mix these up, so here is the difference in one place:
- Campaign review is done by our staff, once, before your campaign runs. Editing the title, instructions, starting link, or proof requirement of a live campaign sends it back for review.
- Completion review is done by you, for every single completion. Our automated fraud checks filter out bots, duplicate accounts, and disguised locations before anything reaches you.
