Invite. Verify. Publish. Earn R200.
Invite Advertisers. Earn R200 Per Successful Referral.
Help Zanela grow by introducing genuine new advertisers. When someone you refer completes verification, publishes all three profiles and keeps them published for 14 consecutive days, you can qualify for a R200 referral reward.
Rewards are subject to campaign terms, verification and approval.
How it works
Four steps to a referral reward
Step 1
Share Your Link
Get your unique referral link from your Zanela advertiser dashboard and share it with someone who wants to advertise.
Step 2
They Join and Verify
The referred advertiser creates an account and completes Zanela's identity and age-verification requirements.
Step 3
Publish Three Profiles
The advertiser must have three approved public profiles simultaneously published for 14 consecutive days.
Step 4
Earn R200
Once the requirements are met, your R200 reward becomes eligible for administrative review and payout.
Rewards are subject to the campaign terms, identity and appearance verification, moderation approval, and available campaign funding. Participation is for adults (18+) only.

- Founding Advertiser features are currently available without a subscription.
- Advertisers can create and manage up to three profiles, subject to existing platform rules.
- Publication requires successful verification and moderation approval.
- The Android app provides advertiser management functionality.
- Location-based advertising is supported.
Frequently asked questions
Referral rewards questions
Who can participate?+
Registered Zanela advertisers can take part by sharing the unique referral link from their dashboard. Rewards are for referring genuine new advertisers, not for bookings.
How much can I earn?+
R200 per successful referral under the current campaign, subject to the campaign terms, verification, approval and available campaign funding. This is not a guaranteed income.
When does the 14-day countdown begin?+
When the referred advertiser first holds three approved, verified profiles that are simultaneously publicly published. Zanela records this on the server during scheduled checks.
What happens if one profile is unpublished?+
The 14-day countdown resets. It starts again once all three profiles are approved, verified and publicly published together.
Do I earn R200 for each profile?+
No. The reward is per referred advertiser account, not per profile. Three profiles are a single requirement of one referral.
Can I refer someone already registered?+
No. Referral credit applies only to genuinely new accounts. Self-referrals and existing accounts are not eligible.
How do I track my referrals?+
Open My Referral Rewards in your advertiser dashboard to follow each referral's progress, achievements and reward history.
How will I receive payment?+
Approved rewards are paid by manual EFT to the bank details you submit in My Referral Rewards, after administrative review.
What happens if a referral fails verification?+
No reward is earned for that referral at that time. If the advertiser completes verification later and meets all publication requirements, the referral can still qualify.
Can I refer more than one person?+
Yes. Every referred advertiser who completes the full journey can qualify you for a R200 reward under the campaign terms.
What happens when the campaign budget is exhausted?+
New reward creation is paused and held for review, while rewards that already qualified are honoured. The campaign may reopen when funding is available.
