# Handbook / Getting Paid for ongoing contributors
There are two main ways to get paid as a contributor and both happen **the first week of every month**.
### 1. Request Base pay from the DAO
Everyone makes their own requests every month for whatever value feels fair to them and other contributors.
Steps:
1. Add your request amount in DAI here -> [Clickup form](https://link.com)
2. Once everyone has their requests in, someone requests the total from Warcamp DAO to your circle DAO's (takes a few days)
3. Once those funds arrive in your circle DAO, you can make your actual request from your circle DAO
### 2. HAUS bonus thru Coordinape
We also run a Coordinape epoch every month to allocate HAUS to each other.
>Learn more about [Coordinape](https://coordinape.com)
If you haven't already been added to the Coordinape, feel free to hit vengist or spengrah in the Discord. Once you get added, you'll be opted out by default so **MAKE SURE YOU OPT IN IMMEDIATELY** so you can receive tokens.
Steps:
1. Sign into [Coordinape](https://app.coordinape.com)
2. Select a circle if needed (likely just 'HausDAO', but sometimes we spin up ones on the side for other )
3. Go to 'Allocate' to start
4. Drop a short line about what you've been working on around the haus and make sure you **Opt in**
5. Select your teammates or folks you saw value created by.
6. Allocate! Distribute your GIVE as you see fit across contributors. Nothing rolls over, and you don't get to keep any, so just GIVE it all
7. Save your allocation when done.
8. After the epoch completes, a paladin will distribute haus based its results.

## NEW! Stake HAUS for power
We're experimenting with a share progression system within Warcamp DAO. Contributors can stake up to 100% of the HAUS they received in the most recent Coordinape epoch in exchange for shares in the DAO.
> Learn more about [Warcamp](daohaus.club/docs) and how you can use your power there.
Steps:
1. Go to [Warcamp DAO](https://app.daohaus.club/dao/0x64/0xef3d8c4fbb1860fceab16595db7e650cd5ad51c1)
2. Go to Proposals and start a new Proposal
3. Request shares at 0.1 HAUS per share _add screenshot_
4. Approve the HAUS and Submit your proposal
5. If/when it passes, you'll have gained power in Warcamp 😈
