Earn Page: How to Write One That Converts

Key takeaways

  • An earn page has one job: get a user to open the offerwall knowing what they will get, how long it takes, and where to ask for help.
  • Translate your currency into something concrete, state realistic credit times, and never promise an income.
  • On phones, keep the copy short above the wall, let the wall fill the screen, and move the details into an FAQ below it.

What is an earn page?

An earn page is the page on your website or app where users go to earn your currency, usually by opening an offerwall that is embedded on it or linked from it. A page that converts tells users in a few seconds what they can earn, what it is worth, how long rewards take, and that you can be trusted, and then gets out of the way so the offerwall can do its work. Everything else, from the rules to the support details, goes below the wall in an FAQ.

Where the entry points to this page sit in your navigation is covered in Offerwall placement, and the reasons users drop out after they start an offer are covered in Why users start offers but don’t finish. This guide is about the page itself: what it says, and how it is laid out.

Write a headline about the reward

Users do not come for an “offerwall”. They come for coins, gems, or a gift card. Name the reward and the action in plain words:

  • “Earn coins by trying apps and completing tasks”
  • “Get free gems: finish an offer, gems land in your account”
  • “Earn points for gift cards”

Keep it to one line, use the same currency name and icon that appear next to the user’s balance elsewhere on your site, and skip words like “easy money”. They promise something the page cannot keep and make careful users leave.

Say what users can earn and what it buys

“Earn up to 5,000 coins” means nothing until the user knows what 5,000 coins are worth. Add one line that translates the currency:

  • On a rewards site: “1,000 points = a $1 gift card. Cash out from 2,000 points.”
  • In a game: “300 gems unlock the Explorer skin.”
  • In a community: “500 credits buy a month of the supporter role.”

That line only works if your exchange rate is consistent and easy to read. How to set your virtual currency exchange rate explains how to pick one. If you show a range of rewards, use the range users actually see on your wall in their country, and update it when it changes.

Explain how long credits take

The question you will hear most often is “where are my coins?” Answer it on the page before it is asked:

  • Many offers credit within minutes of the user finishing.
  • Tasks with proof take longer. On a Sharklio wall, a task is checked by the advertiser within its review window, which is set per offer from 30 minutes to 3 days.
  • Pending is normal. Tell users that a reward shown as pending is being checked, and that they can follow every offer’s status in History on the offerwall.
  • Holds come after the credit. If you hold new rewards before they can be cashed out, say so here. Reward hold periods covers how to set and explain them.

A short line is enough above the wall, for example “Most rewards arrive within minutes. Tasks with proof can take up to 3 days.” Put the details in the FAQ.

Trust signals that are real

New users wonder whether they will actually be paid. Show evidence, and only evidence that is true:

  • Real recent rewards or cashouts from your own records, with names shortened or hidden for privacy. Never invent entries.
  • Payout methods and minimums, stated plainly.
  • A visible support route with a realistic reply time.
  • Links to your terms and privacy notice, including how rewards and reversals work.
  • Your own track record, such as how long the site has run, if it helps.

Leave out badges, counters, or testimonials you cannot back up. One fake “$2,450 paid today” ticker found out by a user does more damage than having no ticker at all.

Honest copy: no exaggerated earnings

An earn page that oversells gets clicks and then tickets, chargebacks, and angry reviews. Some rules that keep you out of trouble:

  • Never promise an income. “Earn $100 a day” is not true for typical users, and it attracts exactly the people most likely to cheat.
  • Describe the work. Say that offers ask users to try apps, sign up for services, or complete tasks, and that some require a purchase or a deposit if your wall shows such offers.
  • Say that offers come from third parties. Sharklio’s publisher rules do not allow presenting Sharklio as your own product or hiding that the offers are supplied by third parties, and do not allow placing it in a context that misdescribes what a user must do to earn a reward.
  • Mention eligibility. End users of a Sharklio offerwall must be at least 16, and offers depend on the user’s country and device.

Illustrative intro: before and after

Before: “Make money fast! Thousands of dollars waiting for you!” After: “Earn coins by trying apps and finishing tasks from our partners. 1,000 coins = $1. Most rewards arrive within minutes; tasks with proof can take up to 3 days.” The second version is less exciting and far more likely to bring users who finish offers and stay.

The FAQ and the support link

Put a short FAQ under the wall. The questions that save the most tickets:

  1. How long do rewards take, and what does pending mean?
  2. Why did I not get a reward for an offer I finished?
  3. Why are some offers missing or different from my friend’s?
  4. How do I make sure an offer counts? (Read every step, finish on the same device and browser, and do not use a private window.)
  5. Can I use a VPN or several accounts? (No, and say what happens if they do.)
  6. What happens if a reward is reversed?
  7. When and how can I cash out?

End the FAQ with a support link and ask for what you need to find the offer: the user ID, the offer name, the date, and a screenshot of History. Handling missing reward tickets covers how to answer those tickets quickly.

Mobile layout

Most users of a rewards page arrive on a phone, where there is room for very little before the wall. On a small screen:

  • Keep the intro to two lines: headline and value line. Put the balance in a slim bar.
  • Let the wall fill the screen. A Sharklio iframe is as tall as the screen and scrolls on its own, so there is no second scroll bar. Under a fixed header, subtract its height.
  • Move trust signals and the FAQ below the wall, or behind a single “How it works” link.
  • Avoid elements that cover the wall, such as chat bubbles, cookie bars that never close, or sticky banners.
<iframe title="Earn coins" src="https://wall.sharklio.com/{APP_ID}?user_id={USER_ID}&amp;hash={HASH}"
  style="border:0;width:100%;height:calc(100vh - 64px)" allow="clipboard-write"></iframe>

Build the signed link on your server for the logged-in user, and never cache the page, because the link belongs to one person. For logged-out visitors, show the intro, the value line, and a sign-up button instead of the wall. If you would rather not give the wall its own page at all, a floating Earn button opens it over any page of your site after a click.

An earn page built around a Sharklio wall

Each Sharklio app lets you name your currency, set its rate and icon, and match the wall’s colors, corner radius, and font size to your site in the Design tab (see how to customize your offerwall design). Embed it as an iframe on your earn page, open it from a floating button, or send users to a direct link. Inside the wall, users see History with the status of every offer, links to our terms and privacy policy, and their user ID for support. Publisher applications open soon. Prepare your site with how to get approved as a publisher.

Frequently asked questions

What should an earn page include?

A headline about the reward, a line that says what the currency is worth, how long credits take, the offerwall itself, real trust signals, a short FAQ, and a support link.

Should the offerwall be embedded or linked from the earn page?

Embedding it on its own page usually works best on websites because users see offers right away. In apps, open the signed link in a WebView or browser tab from a clear button on the earn screen.

Can I show how much users can earn?

Show ranges of rewards users actually see on your wall in their country, and what the currency buys. Do not state daily or monthly income figures.

How do I reduce missing reward tickets from the earn page?

Explain pending rewards and credit times on the page, point users to History on the offerwall, and ask for the user ID, offer name, date, and a screenshot in your support form.

Should the earn page be visible to logged-out visitors?

Yes, as an explainer with a sign-up button. Only logged-in users get the signed offerwall link, and the page must not be cached for other users.
