Frequently Asked Questions

Got any questions? we’re here to help

What exactly is Eki, and what do I get when I join?

Eki is one platform that brings together everything you’d normally have to juggle separately: a link-in-bio, a checkout page, a booking calendar, a portfolio, and a way for brands to actually find you. On it you can list paid bookings, sell products (physical, digital, or custom), rent out gear, sell ad space on your page, take courses that earn you a real certificate, join or run paid communities, and apply to brand campaigns, jobs, and grants, all in one place, one link.

Do I need a large following to join?

No. Eki isn’t built around follower count, it’s built around what you can prove you can do. A creator with 2,000 followers who’s certified and completes bookings reliably shows up as more trustworthy than someone with 200,000 followers and nothing to back it up. Your reach can help you earn more through Spaces and bigger campaigns, but it’s not a requirement to sign up, take courses, or start getting booked.

How do I get "verified," and what does the badge actually mean?

Verification isn’t something you claim, it’s something you earn. You get the badge by completing a course and passing its check (which issues you a real, downloadable certificate), or by completing bookings and transactions through the platform. The badge exists so a brand looking at your page knows they’re not taking your word for it, they’re seeing proof.

How and when do I actually get paid?

Payment runs through Eki, not around it. For bookings, store sales, and tips, money settles straight to your account once the work or order is confirmed complete. For Spaces (ad placements), payment is held in escrow and only released to you after you’ve posted and it’s been confirmed live for the agreed time, so you’re protected too, not just the brand. You’re never chasing anyone for payment after the fact.

Is it free? What does Eki take from what I earn?

Joining, setting up your page, and browsing Opportunities are all free, there’s no monthly fee to be on Eki. Eki earns through small fees on the things that make you money: a share of bookings, store sales, and Spaces transactions, plus revenue from paid courses. If you’re not earning, you’re not paying anything.
