# Step 5: Start Earning!

The first action you should take to ensure you can get paid is by completing your [payment information](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/how-do-partners-get-paid.md). To avoid any payment complications, ensure your account fulfills all the necessary [payment requirements](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payment-requirements-explained-for-partners.md). Once you drive a payable conversion, you’ll be eligible for a payout. The conversion path goes from conversion to payout, see more information on [payments from action to payout](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/partner-payments-explained-from-action-to-payout.md).

You can also set up to be automatically paid on a certain date or at a certain total earned by [selecting how often you get paid](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/select-how-often-you-get-paid-as-a-partner.md). Once you have set up all your finance settings and are ready to receive your hard-earned money, you can withdraw funds to your [bank account](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/withdraw-funds-to-your-bank-account.md) or your [PayPal account](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/withdraw-funds-to-your-paypal-account.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.impact.com/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/getting-started/readme/im-a-partner/step-5-start-earning.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
