StatusEarn (operated by **Ojustek Solutions**) allows you to monetize your social media reach. By sharing sponsored creatives and unique tracking links on your WhatsApp Status, Instagram, X, or YouTube channel, you earn real money when your audience engages.
1. The Concept of Validated Clicks
StatusEarn operates on a performance-based model. You do not get paid merely for posting; you earn payouts based on **Validated Clicks**. A validated click is a high-quality click generated by a real human viewer who visits the advertiser's destination page through your tracking link.
2. Clicks that Earn ₹0 (Invalid Traffic Rules)
To protect advertiser budgets and ensure high network quality, our **Visitor Identity Engine** filters out invalid engagement. The following click types do not qualify for payouts:
- Self-Clicks: Clicking your own generated campaign links. Our engine detects your promoter identity token and flags these clicks immediately. Self-clicks earn ₹0.
- Duplicate & Multi-Clicks: If a single contact/visitor clicks your link multiple times, or clicks your link again throughout the day, only the **first unique click** is counted and paid. Subsequent clicks from the same visitor on the same campaign earn ₹0.
- Geo-Mismatched Clicks: If an advertiser runs a campaign targeting Mumbai and your viewers click from Delhi or outside India, those clicks do not meet the campaign parameters and earn ₹0.
- Fraudulent Traffic: Clicks originating from VPNs, proxy servers, botnets, automated click scripts, or coordinate exchange groups are auto-rejected and earn ₹0.
3. TDS Withholding & PAN Rules
Because you are contracting directly with **Ojustek Solutions**, your payouts are classified as advertising service payments under Indian tax law:
- TDS Rate: If you furnish a valid PAN, Ojustek Solutions deducts contractor TDS (1% for Individuals/HUF, 2% for Firms/Companies) at credit time.
- No-PAN Penalty: If you fail to submit a PAN in your profile settings, government regulations require a mandatory higher-rate deduction of **20% TDS** on all payouts.
- TDS Thresholds: Withholding is triggered once your aggregate earnings in a financial year cross ₹1,00,000, or a single payout crosses ₹30,000.
4. Payouts & Settlement
Your validated earnings accumulate in your promoter wallet.
- Minimum Withdrawal: You can request a payout once your wallet balance reaches **₹500**.
- Transfer Modes: Withdrawals are processed securely to your registered Bank Account (via IMPS/NEFT) or UPI ID.
- Processing Time: Fraud validation and click settlement are processed within 24 to 48 hours.
