Here’s a little about what you can expect as a Certified Host on our platform:

    • You’re the boss:  You run events on your terms.  You pick the experience, the time, the frequency, the ticket price.  It’s all up to you.
    • Earn money doing what you love: You earn 70% of ticket revenue doing what you love on your terms - from the safety and comfort of your home. 
    • Discounted subscription fee and 60 day FREE trial: There is a $35/month subscription fee, however we're offering a summer promotion and lowering the subscription fee to $25/month for life on the platform with a special discount code: megh25  We are also offering a 60 day free trial.  If after 60 days you're not making money doing what you love you can cancel and will never be charged.
    • Tools, Support and Expertise: The subscription covers the Premium Zoom access and tools to connect you with interested venues (when and if you're ready to bring your experience in-venue), Customer Support, Training and expertise from our most highly rated Hosts as well as Marketing tools and expertise.
    • Visibility: There is no non-compete; meaning you can promote yourself, your business, your products and you are welcome to participate in other platforms.
    • No obligation:  There is no commitment and no cost to you to get started - We will waive the first 60 days of subscription so you can try this out and see if it works for you.


You can find more information HERE and register to attend one of our webinars where we will go over the opportunity and benefits of partnering with Yaymaker to host your virtual events. You can also schedule a quick call with us HERE if none of the webinar times work for you.

When you are ready to create your account to start hosting your Virtual Events, you can do so in under 15 minutes HERE.

The opportunities are endless

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

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.

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