MemberGig is a platform where you can create listing boards, similar to Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. It lets businesses or individuals promote their products, services, or events on your board, which you can share with an audience or promote publicly for more visibility. It’s an easy way to organize listings in one place, help sellers get noticed, add value for your audience, and allow you to earn from your board.

MemberGig is best for people who already have a group, audience, or client base and want a simple way to organize and share listings in one place. It works especially well for creators, community hosts, and professionals who want to give businesses visibility, create an additional income stream, or offer helpful resources as added value to their audience or clients. It’s also useful for sellers who want exposure to a targeted audience, and for visitors or group members who want a dedicated place to discover products, services, or events they’re interested in.

Monetized boards are free to create, making it easy to start earning without upfront costs. You set the price sellers pay to list, and MemberGig keeps 15% of each transaction to cover platform maintenance, updates, and everything needed to keep your board running smoothly. If you prefer not to charge sellers, non-monetized boards are $97 per month and are ideal if you want to offer a free place for members to post while you build your brand visibility and engagement, or want to offer additional value to your group with useful resources.

MemberGig can be accessed from most countries, so board owners, sellers, and visitors can use the platform. Payments on MemberGig are processed through Stripe Connect, which means the ability to receive payouts or subscribe to a board depends on Stripe’s supported countries and local payment rules. If Stripe supports payments in your country, you should be able to use MemberGig’s monetized features. You can check Stripe’s supported countries here: https://stripe.com/global

MemberGig doesn’t allow content that’s illegal, misleading, harmful, or unsafe. This includes scams, spam, counterfeit or stolen items, hate or abusive content, and anything that violates intellectual property or consumer protection laws. Sexually explicit or adult content isn’t permitted, and any content involving the sexualization or exploitation of minors is strictly prohibited. Listings related to drugs, weapons, or other restricted items are also not allowed. Content that violates MemberGig’s platform rules or Terms of Service may be removed.

If you have questions about a specific board, a listing, or your seller account on a board, please contact the Board Owner directly by clicking the "Support Contact" email link at the bottom of that board’s page. Board Owners handle support for their boards, listings, and seller-related questions. For general platform questions or Board Owner account support not covered in this FAQ, you can contact MemberGig at support@membergig.com

Your monthly listing fee gives you a professional listing page to showcase your business to a targeted audience that’s already interested in what you offer. You can add a business description and key details, upload up to five photos to highlight your products or services, include a direct link to your website or booking page, and message directly with interested customers. As long as your subscription is active, your listing stays live and visible on the board.

The cost to post on a board is set by the Board Owner and is billed as a monthly subscription. Each board may have a different price, and you’ll always see the cost before you subscribe. You can cancel at any time, so if you’re promoting a one-time event or short-term offer, this gives you flexibility without a long-term commitment.

No. MemberGig does not process payments for your products or services. Your listing includes a direct link to your website or booking page, and any payments from customers are handled by you outside of the platform. This keeps you in full control of your sales, pricing, and payment process.

Yes. You can list on multiple boards as long as each board allows your type of listing and you subscribe to each one separately. This makes it easy to reach different audiences and promote your business in multiple communities at the same time. You’ll have your own account to manage your listings, making it easy to update details or track where you’re listed.

Allowed listings depend on the rules set by each Board Owner and the focus of the board. Most boards are built around a specific niche, so listings should be relevant to that audience. As long as your product, service, or event aligns with the board’s guidelines and complies with platform policies, it can be listed.

If a Board Owner removes your listing, it will no longer appear on that board. You’ll be notified, and your subscription for that board will be canceled so no future charges occur. You can still manage your account and choose to list on other boards that are a better fit for your business.

Yes. Each subscription includes one post on a board. If you want to promote more than one product, service, or event on the same board, you can purchase additional posts at a price set by the Board Owner. This gives you the flexibility to showcase multiple offerings while keeping everything organized under one board.

You can cancel a post subscription from your account at any time. Go to Subscriptions, find the post you want to cancel, and click the X (Cancel) button in the Action column. Your post will remain active until the end of your current paid subscription period, and no future charges will occur.

Yes. Payments on MemberGig are securely processed through Stripe, a trusted payment platform used by well-known companies like Shopify, Uber, and DoorDash. Your payment information is encrypted and handled directly by Stripe, and MemberGig does not store your credit card details.

Billing questions are managed by the Board Owner, not MemberGig. Subscription fees already paid for the current billing period are non-refundable, even if you cancel early, and your listing will remain active until the end of that period. No future charges will apply once you cancel. If you have questions about future charges, cancellations, or disputes, please contact the Board Owner directly, since they manage pricing and payments for their board through Stripe.

MemberGig is your own branded community marketplace where your members can promote their products, services or events within your community. Good for community building and business promotion for your members. Simply share your link with your community, then watch signups and your revenue grow.

A monetized board puts you in control of your own mini-marketplace. Businesses or individuals pay you a monthly fee to showcase their products, services, or events on your board. You set the price, decide what gets listed, and share one simple link with your audience or promote it publicly. Payments flow directly into your account through Stripe Connect with no upfront costs to you. MemberGig takes 15% to keep the platform running, plus standard payment processing fees, while you earn recurring income every month your members stay subscribed.

A non-monetized board lets you create a space for your community without charging members to post. It’s useful for building trust as the go-to person, growing an audience or group, or organizing recommendations or resources in one place like trusted local services, products for sale, or community events.

Yes, you can! When you choose to monetize your board, we'll guide you through the process of setting up a Stripe account through the board set-up process. Having a Stripe account is necessary to receive payouts and manage transactions. Stripe offers a straightforward onboarding experience, and once connected, payments are securely processed and deposited directly into your account.

Start by choosing one clear niche, or a specific topic or type of offering, based on your audience or an area you know well. Boards work best when they focus on a specific type of product, service, or interest, because visitors are usually looking for something specific. A niche board also makes it more valuable for businesses, since they’re more willing to pay to reach a targeted audience that’s already interested in what they offer. It’s best to start with one niche, and once it’s working, you can always create another board later.

When creating your board, you can choose between a public or private board. A public board is visible to anyone and can be discovered through the platform, making it easy for people to find your board and see what your community offers. A private board is not discoverable and can only be accessed through a direct link. Anyone who wants to access a private board must answer up to three questions you set and be approved by you before they can view the board or post. Public boards are ideal for reach and discovery, while private boards work best when you want more control over who can access your community.

Team Members let you invite up to two people to help manage your board. They can assist with any day-to-day tasks like reviewing posts, approving listings, and keeping the board organized, so you’re not doing everything yourself. Team Members have access to all board features, except account and billing management, giving you support while your sensitive information in your account stays private.

If you cancel your board, any active subscriptions for that board are canceled immediately. Your members are notified, and your board is scheduled for permanent deletion after 7 days. This gives sellers time to make any necessary arrangements related to their posts before the board is removed. After the 7-day period, the board and its content are permanently deleted.

When creating your board, you can set up categories that define what types of listings are allowed. These categories act as guardrails for your board, helping sellers understand what belongs and keeping everything aligned with your niche or brand. For example, you might create categories like “Local Pet Services,” “Digital Tools,” “Wellness Providers,” "Courses," or “Events.” When sellers post, they must choose one of your categories, which keeps listings organized, relevant, and on-brand. This makes your board easier to browse, more valuable to visitors, and more attractive to sellers who want to reach the right audience.

MemberGig gives you built-in tools to help you keep your board safe, focused, and on-brand. You can create a private board and require approval so you can screen users before they can view or post. You can also remove posts or block users who don’t follow your rules. During setup, you choose the categories listings must fall under, which helps prevent off-topic or low-quality content. You can invite up to two Team Members to help review activity and manage the board, and members can flag posts they believe violate board rules or platform guidelines, making it easier to catch and address issues early.

No, you can browse public boards without signing up, but you must signup to request access from a board owner to browse their private board or to contact a seller on private and public boards.

A Member is anyone who signs up on the platform to access boards, browse listings, explore offerings, or connect with businesses. A Seller is a Member who chooses to post and promote a product, service, or event on a board by subscribing to list. Members can browse and connect, while Sellers actively promote what they offer.

If you’re interested in a product, service, or event listed on a board, you can message the Seller directly through the platform. This lets you ask questions, get more details, or start a conversation before visiting their website or booking page.

Yes. Creating an account is free. You can sign up to access boards, browse listings, explore offerings, and message sellers at no cost. From your account, you can manage messages and seller replies, view boards you’ve favorited, track the status of private board access requests, see private boards you’ve joined, and delete your account at any time.

A private board is an exclusive board that isn’t publicly visible and can only be accessed through a direct link. To join, you’ll answer a few questions set by the Board Owner and request approval. Private boards are often used for invite-only groups where the owner wants to limit access to a specific audience.

Yes. You can message multiple sellers to ask questions or request more information about the products or services they’re offering. Each conversation is kept separate, and you can view and manage all replies directly from your account.

Yes. If you decide you want to post and promote a product, service, or event, you can become a Seller at any time by clicking "Create Post" on a board to get started. Your existing account stays the same, but with the added tools needed to manage your post and subscription.

You can delete your account at any time by selecting Delete Account from the menu under your avatar or profile picture in the upper right corner. Deleting your account will permanently remove your posts, messages, and profile information, and any active subscriptions will be canceled immediately. Please know this action cannot be undone.
