#### How can I earn coins?
The best way to earn coins is to use Booktower!
When you use Booktower to track your reading, you'll receive [achievements](https://help.mybooktower.com/books/achievements-coins-cosmetics/page/achievements) along the way. Those achievements have different coin rewards associated with them. We're always thinking about new achievements to add to the site - if you have any suggestions, make sure to let us know!
In addition to simply using the site, you can also follow us on social media and/or join our Discord to get access to the exclusive promo codes that we'll sometimes share there.
