Build it in public. South Africa.
Start small.
Get seen.
100 to 10,000.
A public profile is a place to showcase your work and potentially be seen. We do not guarantee views, replies, briefs or payment. The door is open from about 100 followers. Creators over 10,000 can still list.

R99
Spark / month
A lane for new creators
Spark at R99 opens the casting board, a rate builder and the Starter Pack. Spotlight at R249 shows who viewed the card. Same plans at any follower count.
The fee stays in the thread
Name a rand fee, a usage date and a revision limit. The intro email says you have a note. It does not include the social name.
Bring friends, keep the year
10 finished referrals on your link = 1 year free at your tier. 15 lifts you one tier. Only your dedicated link counts.
Starter guide
Learn the craft. Then take the brief.
01
Pick a lane
One platform first. Instagram, TikTok or YouTube. Post like a person, not a billboard.
02
Open the desk
Open Mic is free. Spark at R99/mo adds the pack, the casting board and a rate you can explain.
03
Invite with your link
Friends must join with your referral link and finish a profile. We cannot count a screenshot or a WhatsApp forward.

Do not buy the graph
Fake followers will cost you the brief.
Agencies still check. Bought followers, pods and empty comments show up in the authenticity score. Grow the audience you can actually talk to.
How scoring worksShow the work. That is the job.
A rate card, a sample note, and a pack that shows you how to ask. None of that is a promise that a brand will answer.
See creator plansAgencies
Look at creators who are still building. A listing is not a booking, and a smaller audience is not a cheaper guarantee.
Register your agencyWhat a profile is not
Illustrative lines, not campaign results. Nobody on this page was paid by a brand because they joined.
“A listing is a place to be looked at. It is not a brief, a contract, or a fee.”
“The rate card helps you decide what you would ask. It does not make anyone say yes.”
“Agencies can browse. Browsing is not hiring, and a score is not a promise the campaign will work.”
