# Influencers

Influencers on Peer2Play can monetize their following by hosting tournaments, promoting games, and earning from referrals. This section outlines how influencers can quickly get started on the platform and engage their audience.

**Step-by-Step Guide for Influencers**

1. **Register as an Influencer**:
   * Sign up for an influencer account on the **Peer2Play Platform**.
   * Provide basic details such as your name, social media links, and email.
   * After verification, you will gain access to the **Influencer Dashboard**, where you can track your tournaments, earnings, and referrals.
2. **Set Up Your Profile**:
   * Customize your profile to align with your brand. Add a bio, profile picture, and links to your social media accounts.
   * Ensure that your Web3 wallet is connected so you can receive **P2P Tokens** from tournament fees and referrals.
3. **Create a Tournament**:
   * Once your profile is set up, head to the **Tournament Management** section and click on **Create Tournament**.
   * Choose a game from the list of available games and configure the tournament settings:
     * **Entry Fee**: Specify the entry fee in **P2P Tokens**.
     * **Max Players**: Set the maximum number of players who can join.
     * **Prize Pool**: Determine how the prize pool will be distributed among winners (e.g., Top 3 players).
   * Example API Call:

     ```bash
     bashCopy codePOST /api/tournaments/create
     ```

     **Request**:

     ```json
     jsonCopy code{
       "gameId": "game456",
       "entryFee": 50,
       "maxPlayers": 100,
       "rewardDistribution": "top5"
     }
     ```

     **Response**:

     ```json
     jsonCopy code{
       "tournamentId": "tourn789",
       "status": "created"
     }
     ```
4. **Promote the Tournament**:
   * Peer2Play generates a unique **referral link** for each tournament you create. Share this link with your community on social media, YouTube, or Twitch.
   * Use your social platforms to drive awareness, encouraging your followers to join the tournament and compete for rewards.
5. **Track Participation and Earnings**:
   * Monitor the tournament in real-time from your **Influencer Dashboard**.
   * Track how many participants joined, how much has been staked in **P2P Tokens**, and your earnings from the tournament entry fees and referrals.
6. **Earn from Referrals**:
   * Share referral links for games or tournaments. Every time a player signs up using your referral link, you’ll earn a portion of their tournament entry fee or in-game purchases.
   * The **Referral Dashboard** provides insights into how much revenue you’ve generated from new player sign-ups and tournament participation.
