<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to campaigns">
    Follow the link provided during onboarding or navigate to the **Campaigns** section in the Mention Me platform.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new campaign">
    Click **Create new campaign** in the top right-hand corner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the setup wizard">
    Work through the onscreen wizard:

    1. **Select a campaign type** -- for onboarding, choose **Referral**.
    2. **Choose a locale** -- this defines where your campaign runs and the campaign language.
    3. **Define the rewards** -- pick what incentives you want to offer. Select from existing rewards or create a new one. Different reward types work better for different businesses, products, and price points. [See our advice for choosing rewards.](/knowledge/referral/offers/what-makes-a-good-reward)
    4. **Review share methods** -- recommended sharing methods are set by default based on industry best practice. Learn more about [Name Share](/knowledge/referral/offers/sharing-methods) and [Native Share](/knowledge/referral/offers/sharing-methods).
    5. Complete the remaining setup steps as guided by the wizard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Before continuing to create an A/B test, you may want to review your campaign's content (copy, imagery, and design). During onboarding this is a separate task on your onboarding hub.
