What Is the Boostra Referral Programme?
Boostra is the UK's creator tipping platform built for digital creators, influencers, and online personalities. The referral programme is a built-in feature that rewards existing verified creators for growing the platform by introducing other creators.
When an existing Boostra creator shares their profile link with another creator — and that new creator signs up and receives boosts — the referrer automatically earns 1% of every boost the referred creator receives during their first 12 months on the platform.
Unlike many platform affiliate schemes that gate earnings behind complex dashboards, external redirect links, or hidden approval processes, Boostra's referral system is embedded directly into your creator dashboard with live tracking of referred creators and a breakdown of rewards received to date.
How the 1% Reward Is Calculated
For every boost (tip) received by a creator you referred, Boostra takes its standard 5% platform fee and splits 1 percentage point of that as a referral reward to you. This means:
- A supporter sends a £50 boost to a creator you referred.
- Boostra deducts its 5% fee (£2.50).
- Of that £2.50 fee, 1% of the original £50 boost (£0.50) is credited to your Boostra referral balance.
- The referred creator receives £47.50 regardless. Supporters pay the same amount as always.
The referral reward is entirely funded by Boostra's own platform fee. This is an important distinction: supporters are never charged more, and referred creators never receive less, because of the referral arrangement.
The 12-Month Earning Window
Referral rewards are earned for the first 12 months (one full year) after a referred creator joins and completes their onboarding. After the 12-month window expires, no further referral income is generated from that creator's boosts, though you continue to earn normally from your own boosts and from any other creators you subsequently refer.
This means that the earlier you refer a creator who goes on to build a large audience, the more total referral income you can accumulate from that relationship. A creator you refer today who becomes a full-time creator generating £2,000/month in boosts would generate £20/month in referral income for you every month of that 12-month window.
What Is Your Referral Link?
On Boostra, your referral link is simply your public profile URL. There is no separate affiliate link to generate or manage. Your profile URL — for example, boostra.app/yourname — is the link you share.
When someone visits your Boostra profile page and follows through to create their own Boostra account, the platform records that you were the referring creator. This is handled automatically in the background; you do not need to add tracking parameters or manage a separate affiliate dashboard.
Your referral link is shown directly in your Referral tab within the Boostra creator dashboard, alongside a one-click copy button — making it easy to paste into your social media bios, YouTube descriptions, Discord servers, or link-in-bio pages.
How to Refer a Creator: Step by Step
- Complete your Boostra onboarding. You must have a verified account with a confirmed Stripe Connect integration to be eligible for referral rewards.
- Copy your referral link from the Referral section of your dashboard (it is your profile URL).
- Share it with creators you want to introduce to Boostra. YouTube video descriptions, pinned Discord messages, Twitter/X bios, and TikTok link-in-bio pages are all effective channels.
- They sign up and complete onboarding. The referral is recorded when they register via your link and finish their Stripe Connect setup.
- Earn automatically every time they receive a boost. Your referral earnings are displayed in real time in the Boostra dashboard under the Referral tab.
- Withdraw your referral balance alongside your regular boost earnings — there is no separate withdrawal process for referral income.
Tracking Your Referrals in the Dashboard
The Referral section of your Boostra creator dashboard gives you full visibility into your referral activity:
- Referral earnings balance — your current referral income available to withdraw
- Referred creators list — chronological list of all creators who signed up through your link
- Recent referral rewards — a real-time feed of individual referral payouts, showing which creator generated each reward and when
- Who referred you — if you joined via another creator's referral link, their username is shown so you know who gets credit for your activity
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Boostra's referral programme lets verified creators earn 1% of every boost a referred creator receives during their first 12 months on the platform.

No. The 1% referral reward is paid by Boostra out of its own 5% platform fee. Supporters and referred creators are completely unaffected by the referral arrangement.
Can I refer as many creators as I want?
Yes. There is no cap on the number of creators you can refer. Each one you refer adds an independent 12-month earning window to your referral income stream.
When are referral rewards paid?
Referral rewards are credited to your Boostra referral balance automatically each time a referred creator receives a boost. They are available alongside your regular boost balance when you request a withdrawal.
What happens if a creator I referred deletes their account?
If a referred creator closes their account, the earning window for that creator ends. You keep all rewards already credited up to the point of account closure.
