Questions, answered.
Who pays the fee?
The deal does. The business pays the listed amount with nothing added at checkout, and Sponsmi keeps ten percent of it. On a five hundred dollar deal the business is charged five hundred and the talent receives four hundred and fifty.
Why not charge the business on top instead?
We tried that first and it was worse for everyone. Adding a fee at checkout makes the price on the listing a lie, which kills conversion at the exact moment a business is deciding. One honest number on the profile is simpler, and it matches how Cameo, Fiverr, and most talent marketplaces work.
When am I charged?
Only when an accepted deal is funded. Accounts, browsing, opportunity posts, messaging, and offers are all free and always will be.
What does the ten percent actually pay for?
Card processing, holding the money safely between funding and delivery, the written deal record, the dispute process, and running the marketplace so there is anyone worth finding on it.
Is promoted placement pay-to-win?
No. Promoted listings are labelled as promoted and float to the top of Browse. Paying moves you up the list, it does not buy you a better review score or hide anyone else.
What size deals is this for?
A two hundred and fifty dollar local logo placement up to four figure ambassador terms. Five dollar minimum, no ceiling.
