Job description

In these unprecedented times, we are looking for ways to connect. By becoming a virtual host you can fill that need while sharing your special talent and making an income.

Virtual Host:

This is an opportunity to inspire people through online entertainment by sharing what you love while running virtually hosted events that bring friends and community together to engage in what is fun and break away from the daily stress and mundane of today.  You’ll partner with a rapidly growing leader in the industry with brand visibility and world class resources, giving the support you need to focus on what’s most important; planning fun virtual events and marketing to your following.  

You are:

  • A people-person who excels at forging long-term relationships with your customers.
  • Passionate about a particular subject, entertainment, activity, game etc.
  • A social media expert with a strong social media presence and following.

Endless opportunities

Are you a home baker? Manicurist? Hairstylist? Plumber? Knitter? Chances are that you have a skill set that others are interested in, which could translate into a fun-filled Virtual Event. We’re looking for talents of all shapes and sizes to become a part of our online, interactive event platform.

Driving tickets

Your Virtual Events will live on our online calendar for millions to see across the world. We’ll promote your events to our large database of customers and followers on social media. We recommend you do the same with your network and social channels for maximum visibility

Make an income

The current climate has made it difficult for many to work. Artists, fitness instructors, teachers, and more have been affected—some finding themselves without a job entirely. We’re offering a means to earn money and get back to doing what you love, while also connecting with people from the comfort of your home. See details in our FAQ section.

*70/30 revenue split is net of 3% credit card fees and any marketing commissions from ticket wholesalers such as Groupon.

About Yaymaker:

More yays to love. Now, Yaymaker is here to give you more ways to find your yay. We offer virtually   hosted events where you'll laugh, drink, connect, and try your hand at something new—a new restaurant to visit, a new group of people to hang with, and always a chance to make a new creation.
