Cliqki is an easy source of revenue for micro influencers and people seeking to earn passive income on the Internet but there are certain downsides worth noting; the first being that, the website load speed is very discouraging. Secondly, the KYC verification process involves submitting of BVN. But overall, it’s a great site that makes earning passive income stress-free.
Cliqki is not a new name in the world of micro influencing, as a matter of fact, they regard themselves as Africa’s largest growing micro influencer platform. I don’t know about the largest tag but what I know is that they actually make earning from the Internet less stressful. So in this article, we will go over how you can start earning on Cliqki, my take on it’s legitimacy and finally, the cons and pros to enable you make informed decisions.
What is Cliqki, And How Does It Work?
Cliqki as the name implies is a micro influencer platform and digital advertising platform that enables influencers earn money from the adverts made by brands and people. What this means is that, advertisers can put up an advertisement in order to get more eye balls and then, fix a certain budget and amount each user will be credited with when they view the ad.
As a user or influencer as the case may be, you view and click on the advert and a part of the budget will be added to your wallet on Cliqki and can be withdrawn either via airtime or directly to your bank account as cash.
You can also earn as an influencer when you share the post to others, when they sign up and view the ad through your link, your earnings also increase. What makes it very interesting is that, there are various notable brands that advertise on the site such as MTN and for a good number of times, I’ve earned from viewing MTN advertisements.
Sign Up Process
Simply open any browser and type in cliqki.com, wait for it to load. Once it does, head to sign up and fill the form with your legitimate details. Using fake details will render that particular registration useless because there is a verification process; a strict and annoying one at that.
After signing up, a mail will be sent to your registered email address. Tap on the link sent to confirm your account email address, then you start.
Once confirmed, the next step is to complete KYC verification. Reason is, of you don’t complete the verification, you won’t be able to earn from viewing the newsfeed and won’t be able to withdraw referral earnings should you have a huge team to advertise to.
To complete KYC verification, tap on the profile icon showing at the top right corner, click on View Profile > settings, then navigate to the KYC verification tab. There you will be required to fill in your BVN and a code will be sent to the phone number you used in creating your BVN.
This is actually the annoying part because if you have lost the phone number, your participation on Cliqki might end there.
Once you are done with the kyc verification, you can now start earning money on the platform. From time to time, campaigns get published by either brands or people looking to advertise their projects, to identify paid adverts, look out for the “Earnable” tag on them.
Any advert with exhausted instead of Earnable means the ad budget set at the beginning of the campaign has been completely used up. That way, you would have to wait for a new campaign in order to continue earning some money.
Withdrawal Steps
To withdraw, click on the three lines at the top left corner, then on Wallet, you will see the redeem earnings option. Tap on it and select the payment method you prefer.
You can either buy airtime with the earnings or withdraw to your local bank account.
How Cliqki Referral Program Works
As a referrer, you earn up to 50 naira from each referral that completes sign up and kyc verification. It’s very poor and thankfully that’s one of the secondary ways of earning on the site, so it can be pardoned.
To get your referral link, simply click on the three lines at the top left corner scroll down a bit to where you will see, Referral, tap on it and copy the unique link. Share to others to stand a chance of earning 50 naira for each sign up.
Considering what they have to offer the user, I’ll say it shouldn’t be too difficult to earn from the referral program.
Final Verdict
It’s already been stated clearly from the beginning of this article to this point that cliqki.com is legit and not scam. So there is no point making that a topic of discussion, the important aspect however that’s worth mentioning to you as the potential users of the platform is, the various downsides or cons as the case may be.

First and most important being that Cliqki website load speed is very discouraging. I don’t know if the owners of the platform will see this review but I hope they do eventually. Navigating the website and even creating an account is very difficult due to the extremely poor loading speed.
It’s so bad that, I shared my referral link to a group containing thousands of people and was only able to get 200 members of which, majority were unable to complete KYC verification owing to same slow loading speed and poor user experience.
The second major downside worth taking note of is, there are common problems with verification and the fact that BVN is needed for KYC. While it is true that nobody can do any major financial fraud by just using your BVN, the truth still remains that, not everyone will be willing to use this sensitive information to create an account on a site that also loads very poorly.
If you are one of those who can’t take the risk of submitting their BVN on any website, Cliqki is a no for you. There is no participation whatsoever without completing KYC verification.
Another problem is the fact that BVN verification can only be completed if the phone number used for its creation is available. Otp is usually sent to the phone number linked to the submitted BVN; without it, verification may not be possible. This is a major downside as not everyone still has access to the phone number they used in creating BVN.
Is There A Support System?
Yes, there is a livechat support feature on the site but when I checked, they were not active. I decided to fill the form and even after doing so, no feedback was gotten from the team.
To be honest, I expected a better service considering that Cliqki has been around for more than two years.
Pros
- Instant payment (whether you withdraw via airtime or cash)
- High paying tasks that are always available from time to time.
- Easy tasks – just view an ad and get credited with the fixed reward.
Cons
- Slow website load speed.
- BVN verification and the stress you have to pass through in order to complete the process.
- Sub-bar support efficiency.
Final Thoughts
It is true that Cliqki is legit and has been paying for years now. There are a couple of downsides which have been mentioned in this piece. So if you feel the website is not good enough, you can leave and disregard it completely.
But if it’s something you can do regardless of the cons, then go ahead and create an account.
Thanks!
