How bidding works

1. 01

   Free profiles and discovery

   Creator and professional registration, profile publication, editing, discovery and sharing are free. Paid ranking is voluntary, never required for discovery, and does not guarantee social, hiring or business outcomes.

2. 02

   Initial paid launch: INR only

   New paid bidding is currently unavailable pending the INR payment workflow, applicable taxes and Razorpay website checks. The USD rules below describe preserved accounting preparation, not an available payment option. Professional paid ranking is not available.

3. 03

   Pick a board

   All-Time ranks lifetime qualifying USD spend. Today ranks qualifying spend processed between UTC midnights. Tax never counts toward rankings.

4. 04

   Start at $10

   An unpaid creator listing has a minimum qualifying target of $10.00. This is a bidding target, not an existing balance. Nothing counts until a payment is captured and verified.

5. 05

   Take #1

   Reach at least $5.00 more than the current leader. A leader at $40.00 requires a $45.00 target; a new listing also satisfies the $10.00 minimum.

6. 06

   Upgrade your listing

   The same normalized social account belongs to the same listing. Pay only the increment needed to reach your target. Increments below $1.00 cannot create an order; previous payments are never counted twice.

7. 07

   Review checkout

   Review the target, incremental payment, applicable tax and final total. Where INR settlement is offered, the exchange rate, calculation time and final INR amount must be confirmed before payment. New checkout remains unavailable while settlement, website approval and tax checks are unresolved.

8. 08

   Verified payments and ties

   Only verified captured pretax payments update rankings. Equal balances favor the listing that reached that balance earlier, using database time and sequence. Concurrent or delayed payments may change your final position; a quote never promises a rank.

9. 09

   UTC archives and refunds

   Completed UTC days are finalized into stable archives. Refunds reverse qualifying spend on the original payment day and All-Time board. Finalized archives remain unchanged, with later corrections recorded separately. Historical INR activity is preserved separately, never converted into USD rankings.
