Creating a Star-Clicks publisher account is free and takes a few minutes. The sign-up itself is simple — the two steps people get stuck on are email activation and mobile verification, so this guide spends most of its time there.
Step 1 — Choose your account type
Star-Clicks has two kinds of account, and picking the wrong one is the first avoidable mistake:
- Publisher — you want to earn by clicking advertising links. This is what most people want.
- Advertiser — you want to promote your own website and pay for traffic.
Choose Publisher if you are here to earn. You can read about the other side in our guide to advertising your website.
Step 2 — Sign up
Enter your details on the sign-up form. Two fields deserve care because they are awkward to change later:
- Your name should match the name on the PayPal or bank account you intend to be paid into. A mismatch is the most common cause of withdrawal delays.
- Your email address must be one you can actually open right now, because activation goes there.
Step 3 — Activate your email
We send an activation email immediately. If it has not appeared within a few minutes:
- Check your spam or junk folder — this is where it usually is.
- Check the Promotions or Updates tab if you use Gmail.
- Confirm you typed the address correctly. A single wrong character means the email went to someone else.
Step 4 — Verify your mobile number
This is the step that stops the most people, and it is almost always the number format rather than the phone. Your number must be entered in international format: country code, then your number, with the leading zero removed.
| Country | Local format | What to enter |
| Sri Lanka | 071 234 5678 | 94712345678 |
| Pakistan | 0300 1234567 | 923001234567 |
| Nigeria | 0803 123 4567 | 2348031234567 |
| India | 098765 43210 | 919876543210 |
Also make sure the country dropdown matches the country your phone number belongs to. If the code does not arrive, our guide on verification codes that do not arrive covers every cause we know of.
Step 5 — Click your first ads
Once verified, advertising links appear in your account. Open them to earn from $0.01 each; some pay more. New ads are added daily, and they do not stack up indefinitely, so a short visit each day earns more than one long session a week. There is more on this in earning more from clicking ads.
Before you start, know what to expect
Worth saying plainly at the outset: this is supplementary income. Small amounts per click, paid out reliably, adding up over a month. If that matches what you are looking for, the account costs nothing to try. If you were hoping for a full-time income, no click platform will provide it, ours included.
