๐Ÿ’ก Mental Preparation: What if Channel Gets Banned?โ€‹

You might encounter this situation: you just paid to become a VIP member of a channel, and the next day this channel gets banned by Telegram. At this time, you might feel annoyed and frustrated.

Correct Mindset Adjustment ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ

  • Choosing Legal Channels is Important: Legally operated channels generally won't get banned. Evaluate channel content compliance before payment.
  • This is a Normal Phenomenon: In the decentralized ecosystem, platform risks objectively exist. It's not that you're unlucky.
  • Don't Blame Yourself: Your decision was a reasonable choice based on information available at that time.
  • Wisdom & Happiness: Stay wise, don't let irrecoverable sunk costs affect your happiness.

Understanding Channel Owners' Situation ๐Ÿค

Imagine, channel owners might feel worse than you! They:

  • Carefully operated channels้ญ้‡ ban
  • Lost all historical content and user relationships
  • Need to rebuild brand and trust from scratch So, this really isn't targeted at anyone, but a challenge the entire decentralized ecosystem faces together.

Platform Responsibility Boundary Explanation โš ๏ธ

Please understand:

  • Paywall.tel Only Provides Technical Payment Tools: We provide blockchain payment and token distribution technical services
  • Channel Content Management is Fully Responsible by Channel Owners: Including content quality, compliance, operational strategies, and lifecycle management of each channel.
  • Irreversibility of Blockchain Transactions: Due to blockchain's distributed nature, all transactions cannot be technically reversed after completion. Paywall.tel cannot recover funds for you.
  • Anonymity & Privacy Principles: Unless channels proactively communicate with us or proactively display contact information, Paywall.tel as a third-party payment tool has no right to initiate contact with them and will not establish contact.

Every VIP user and every successful channel owner has experienced similar setbacks. Please treat it as a necessary path of growth, not a sign of failure. Occasional harm won't affect our prosperous ecosystem.

Phase Two: Referrer Revenue Exploration ๐Ÿ’ฐโ€‹

After experiencing the first phase, you've felt Paywall.tel's value as an ordinary user. Now let's explore how to earn revenue through referrals!

Step 1: Understand Referral Revenue Mechanismโ€‹

PAY Token Distribution Mechanism When someone joins the platform through your invitation link and pays for VIP services of a channel, the system will automatically:

  1. Convert their paid USDT to PAY tokens
  2. Distribute to all parties according to proportions:
    • Direct Referrer (You): 55% ๐ŸŽ‰
    • Channel Owner: 30%
    • Indirect Referrer: 5%
    • Project Fund: 4%
    • Channel Referrer: 1%
    • Token Burning: 5%

Referrer Revenue (3 Types)

  • Direct Referrer Share: When users you directly refer pay USDT, you can get 55% of the purchased PAY tokens. This is a very high share, even higher than the channel owner's revenue share.
  • Indirect Referrer Share: When users you refer successfully refer others, you can also get 5%.
  • Channel Referrer Share: If users you directly refer start operating channels and become channel owners, then you become the "channel referrer" of corresponding channels and can enjoy related "channel referral" share. You can continuously get 1% of revenue from related channels.

Step 2: Start Referring, Build Your Revenue Networkโ€‹

How to Get Invitation Links

  1. Click "Become VIP Member" button in interested channels
  2. Enter bot private chat interface
  3. Bot will provide exclusive invitation link for that channel in payment guide interface
  4. Copy link, pass to your friends and fans, build your referral network
  5. Operation Notes: โ‘  You don't need to actually complete payment to get invitation links in corresponding channels' payment guide interface; โ‘ก Each channel's invitation link is different. You can get them in each channel's corresponding payment guide interface. Operation method see step 1, "Click 'Become VIP Member' button in interested channels".

Referral Strategy Recommendations

  • Precise Referrals: Recommend to friends interested in related content
  • Share Experience: Chat with friends about your usage experience. Share tweets, write experience articles, create YouTube video podcast tutorials
  • Knowledge Transfer: Friends will have many questions they don't understand. You're now a Paywall.tel veteran. You can answer their inquiries, solve their confusion, and help them familiarize with the system faster.

Referral Relationship Registration Internal Mechanism

  • New users enter any Paywall.tel managed channel through your link
  • System checks if this user is first time entering Paywall system.
  • If yes, register this user's "direct referrer" as you.
  • Register this user's "indirect referrer" as "your direct referrer"
  • Once invitation relationship is established, it won't change, forming stable user connections.
  • Even if this user re-joins through other referrers' links later, still based on first invitation relationship.

Referral Revenue Acquisition

  • Set your Solana wallet address in bot private chat interface (important)
  • After configuring receiving wallet address, system will automatically distribute your PAY revenue to your wallet
  • Before setting receiving wallet address, system cannot distribute tokens for you. Related referrer shares will be kept in system wallet, equivalent to donating to Paywall.tel. Related shares won't be arranged for retroactive distribution.
  • After your wallet automatically receives PAY tokens, if you prefer to avoid PAY price fluctuations, you can manually convert PAY tokens to USDT, but you might miss PAY's long-term value growth.

Revenue Viewing Methods

  • Visit paywall.tel website
  • Use your user identifier (User_xxxxxxxx format) to query user details page
  • In details page, you can see detailed referral statistics and revenue breakdown

Huge Potential of Referral Revenue ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ฐ Through extensive and dedicated referral work, you have the opportunity to obtain surprising income levels:

  • Second Job Level Income: As referral network expands, monthly revenue might reach your regular job level, giving you two job incomes.
  • Key Success Factors:
    • Extensive Referrals: Share platform value with more appropriate people
    • Dedicated Guidance: Help referred users truly understand and skillfully use the system
    • Long-term Persistence: Referral networks need time to accumulate, but compound effects are amazing
    • Quality Oriented: Recommend users who will actually use the system, not just pursue quantity

Remember: in decentralized economy, early participants always benefit most. When users are still blank, you can quickly capture territory. Start building your referral empire now!

Step 1: Create Your First Paid Channelโ€‹

๐Ÿ’ฐ Channel Owner Dual Revenue Mechanism ๐Ÿ”ฅ As channel owner, you have unique revenue stacking advantage:

  • If you're user's direct referrer: Get 30% (channel owner revenue) + 55% (direct referrer revenue) = 85% total revenue ๐ŸŽ‰
  • If you're user's indirect referrer: Get 30% (channel owner revenue) + 5% (indirect referrer revenue) = 35% total revenue
  • Strategy Recommendations: โ‘  Use your referral link to invite users, you can get highest 85% revenue proportion. โ‘ก Encourage existing members to help you refer new users. Although large referral revenue will be shared with them, it can bring more paying users, making your total revenue multiply.

Correct Operational Mindset ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ

  • Trial Conversion Expectations: It's normal for some users not to pay after trial, this doesn't represent content quality issues
  • Rational View of Free Users: Free experiencers don't occupy your costs, real potential customers will pay for high-quality content
