Key takeaways
- The switch is at the top of the sidebar, under the Sharklio logo, and on a phone at the top of the Dashboard page.
- Publisher accounts are coming soon, so the Publisher button shows a Soon badge for now.
- Both dashboards share one login and one Account page, but each has its own menu and its own balance.
How do you switch between the advertiser and publisher dashboards?
Click Advertiser or Publisher in the switch at the top of the sidebar, right under the Sharklio logo. On a phone, the same switch is at the top of the Dashboard page. Publisher accounts are coming soon, so for now the Publisher button shows a Soon badge.
Publisher accounts are coming soon
Right now every account uses the advertiser dashboard. When you click Publisher, nothing switches, and you see “Publisher accounts are coming soon. We will let you know as soon as they open.” The switch is already on your account, so you will not need a second account. Meanwhile, you can read how publishing will work in How the offerwall works and Get approved as a publisher.
Step by step: switch dashboards
- Look at the top of the sidebar, under the Sharklio logo. You will see two buttons side by side: Advertiser and Publisher.
- The highlighted button is the dashboard you are in.
- Click the other button. Your Dashboard for that side opens.
Your choice is saved to your account, so the next time you log in, you land in the dashboard you used last.
On a phone
The sidebar is hidden on small screens. Tap Dashboard in the bar at the bottom of the screen. The Advertiser and Publisher switch is the first thing at the top of the page. Tap the side you want.
What changes when you switch
| Advertiser | Publisher | |
|---|---|---|
| Sidebar menu | Advertise: Dashboard, Statistics, Campaigns, Completions, Disputes | Publish: Dashboard, Apps, Promo assets, Referrals, plus Reports: Conversions, Chargebacks, Postbacks |
| Money page | Balance | Payments |
| Top bar amount | Balance | Earnings |
| Phone bottom bar | Dashboard, Campaigns, Review, Disputes, Account | Dashboard, Apps, Reports, Payments, Account |
Under your name in the top right corner you see Advertiser or Publisher, and the account summary on the Account page says Advertiser account or Publisher account.
What stays the same
- One login. Your email, password, linked Google or Discord, and login verification cover both sides.
- One Account page. Profile, security, trusted devices, and sessions are shared. See Login verification, trusted devices and sessions.
- Separate money. Your advertiser balance and your publisher earnings are kept apart.
If something goes wrong
- I clicked Publisher and nothing happened. Publisher accounts are not open yet. A short message appears to say so.
- I cannot find the switch on my phone. It only shows at the top of the Dashboard page, not on other pages.
- My menu looks different from a screenshot. Check which button is highlighted in the switch. The advertiser and publisher menus are not the same.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Publisher button say Soon?

Do I need a second account to be a publisher?
No. The advertiser and publisher dashboards belong to the same account and the same login.
Does switching move money between the two sides?
No. Switching only changes which dashboard you see. Your advertiser balance and publisher earnings stay where they are.
Where is the switch on my phone?
At the top of the Dashboard page. Tap Dashboard in the bottom bar to get there.
