You are doing the right thing.

Keeping track of your event’s total votes and earnings helps you know how well it is performing. It also gives you a clear idea of whether you need to promote the event more or leave it to run as it is.

This guide will show you how to check those numbers in a few simple steps.

What Are Total Votes and Earnings

Total votes is the combined number of votes that all your contestants have received.

Total earnings is the total amount of money you have made from the votes in that event.

Let’s say you are running an event with three contestants. If the vote price is one hundred naira and your contestants have the following votes:

• Contestant one has fifty votes
  
• Contestant two has thirty votes
  
• Contestant three has sixty votes
  

Your total votes will be one hundred and forty. And your total earnings will be fourteen thousand naira.

Now let’s walk through how to see this from your dashboard.

Step 1: Go to My Events in Your Dashboard

Log into your VoteNaija account on your computer.

Click on My Events from the dashboard menu. This will open a list of all the events you have created.

Step 2: Look Through Your List of Events

Your events are shown in a list that includes both live and draft events.

Focus on any event that is marked as ongoing. 

Step 3: Check Its Box

Every ongoing event has a small box showing the event’s name, date, and basic information.

Inside that box, you will also see the total number of votes and the total earnings for that event.

These numbers update automatically as people vote, so you can come back any time to check your progress.

Wrapping Up

Knowing your total votes and earnings helps you stay on top of your event. You can see what is working and make better decisions as things move forward.

If you want to increase your votes and earnings, try these simple tips:

• Share your event link regularly. The more people see it, the more likely they are to vote.
  
• Use clear banners and good contestant photos. A neat and attractive event draws more attention.
  
• Remind contestants to promote themselves. Their effort can bring in more voters.
  
• Adjust the end date if needed. If voting is still active, you can extend the event a little.
  

Keep checking in on your dashboard. The numbers update in real time, so you always know where your event stands.

Small steps like these can make a big difference.
