Bring people to Hilltops.
Earn credit to reach more.

A note from the founder

How is reach calculated and what am I charged for?

Reach is calculated for each broadcast before it sends. You are only charged for new (non follower) people reached. Your existing followers receive the push for free, so growing your following directly reduces what each broadcast costs you. As a rough anchor, $100 of credit reaches roughly 1,000 new people in one broadcast.

How does the wallet credit work?

Credit is for Hilltops platform use only. It lands in your Hilltops wallet and is spendable exclusively on Promote broadcasts inside the platform. It is not cash, cannot be redeemed for money, cannot be transferred to another account or off the platform, and never expires while your account is open. When you spend, awarded credit is used first so your purchased balance is preserved.

Can I earn from more than one track?

Yes. All four tracks stack. A single account can earn from follower milestones, posts, referrals and feedback independently. Caps are per track: each milestone tier and each referred account is paid once, and posts earn for up to 4 posts and $1,000 a month. Feedback awards are unlimited in number but discretionary in amount.

What counts as "meaningful feedback"?

Feedback that materially informs a product change. A detailed bug report that leads to a fix, a feature idea we ship, a recorded interview, a written case study. Routine support enquiries, repeat reports of a known issue, and feature wishlists without detail do not qualify. Send to support@hilltops.app or reply to any Hilltops email. Hilltops decides on impact and amount.

What counts as a "socially compatible" referral?

Operators whose offering is built around regular, public facing or inclusive members social events. Bars with events, sports clubs, live music venues, promoters, experience hosts. Private hire only venues, table service only restaurants and corporate only operations do not qualify. The full taxonomy lives in the Program Terms.

How are views counted?

Fourteen days after you post, send the link and a screenshot of the post’s insights to support@hilltops.app. We count the views on that day, once, and review them by hand. Bought views, boosted (paid) reach and views that do not match the post’s likes and comments are not counted. Reels and TikToks only: stories disappear after a day, so their views cannot be checked.

What kind of post qualifies?

A Reel or TikTok that sends people to Hilltops. Your own account is the perfect angle: show your Hilltops page, invite your audience to follow you and join your events there, or share why you use it. What matters is that viewers come away knowing to find you on Hilltops. A post that only mentions or tags Hilltops in passing, or points people somewhere else to book, does not qualify.

Do I need to label my post?

Yes. Because the post earns credit, it counts as advertising, so label it clearly with #ad or the platform’s paid partnership label. Unlabelled posts do not qualify. The full rules are in the Program Terms.

When is credit paid?

Awards are reviewed and granted manually within 7 days of the trigger. You will see a confirmation in the Notifications panel on your dashboard.

What if I drop below a follower milestone after earning?

Once an award is granted, the credit is yours, subject only to the forfeiture rules in the Program Terms (fraud, account suspension, chargeback). A natural drop in follower count does not trigger clawback.

Can the program change?

Yes. We will notify partners at least 30 days before any change. Any change to reward amounts applies prospectively only. Awards already granted are unaffected.

Can Hilltops decline a reward?

Yes. We reserve the right to decline, reverse, or forfeit any award where we reasonably suspect fraud, misrepresentation, abuse or breach of the Hilltops Business Portal Terms. The Program Terms set out the specific grounds.

What happens to my credit if Hilltops shuts down?

If we ever permanently close the platform we will give partners at least 30 days’ notice where practicable, so you can use your wallet balance first. On closure: awarded promote credit is forfeited (it is a promotional inducement, not cash). Purchased credit is treated under Business Portal Terms §8.4. We will use reasonable steps to refund the unused portion, subject to applicable insolvency law. Your statutory consumer rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected.
