Job Description

Do You Love Being in Front of the Camera?

Are you confident, charismatic, and comfortable talking to people?

Do you genuinely enjoy social media, live content, presenting products, and creating an exciting atmosphere?

If you have the personality to keep an audience engaged and the curiosity to learn how live selling works, this could be the beginning of an exciting career in live commerce, e-commerce, and digital content.

We're looking for a Whatnot Live Stream Host who can bring energy, personality, and professionalism to live shopping experiences.

You don't need to be an experienced professional host. What matters most is that you're comfortable on camera, communicate naturally, learn quickly, and aren't afraid to put yourself out there.

The Opportunity

This is more than simply hosting a few live streams.

You'll have the opportunity to develop practical skills in live commerce, product presentation, audience engagement, social media, live auctions, and e-commerce sales.

Over time, you'll learn how to turn:

Attention → Engagement → Trust → Sales

And those are skills that can open doors across the rapidly growing world of live shopping and digital commerce.

What You'll Do

As a Whatnot Live Stream Host, you'll be the face, personality, and energy behind our live shopping sessions.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Host engaging live streams on Whatnot for a minimum of 20 hours per week.
  • Present and showcase products in an exciting, clear, and convincing way.
  • Host live auctions and keep viewers engaged throughout each stream.
  • Interact with viewers, answer questions, and create a welcoming community.
  • Build an entertaining and energetic live shopping experience.
  • Learn techniques for increasing audience engagement and converting viewers into customers.
  • Communicate product features, benefits, and key information clearly.
  • Maintain a confident and professional presence on camera.
  • Work closely with the team to prepare products before live streams.
  • Coordinate with operations and fulfillment teams when needed.
  • Review stream performance and continuously improve your hosting and selling skills.

Who We're Looking For

You could be a great fit if you are:

  • Confident on camera and comfortable speaking to an audience.
  • Naturally charismatic, energetic, and engaging.
  • Comfortable communicating with different types of people.
  • Interested in social media, content creation, live streaming, or e-commerce.
  • Able to think quickly and respond naturally during a live broadcast.
  • Curious, coachable, and willing to learn.
  • Comfortable presenting products and talking about their features and benefits.
  • Reliable and able to commit to at least 30 hours per week.
  • Motivated by both personal development and performance.
  • Excited about building a career in live commerce and digital content.

Experience That Could Help

Experience is welcome, but it isn't everything.

You may already have experience as a:

  • Livestream Host
  • Whatnot Seller or Host
  • Social Media Host
  • Content Creator
  • TikTok or Instagram Creator
  • Sales Representative
  • Retail Sales Associate
  • Customer Service Representative
  • Event Host
  • Presenter
  • Influencer
  • On-Camera Personality

But if you're naturally confident, entertaining, and willing to learn, we want to hear from you even if you haven't hosted professionally before.

About Our Partner

You'll be working with an omnichannel e-commerce marketplace seller whose primary revenue comes from Amazon, with significant and growing operations across Walmart, eBay, and Temu.

The company built its business around a straightforward model: developing direct relationships with brands and authorized distributors and reselling their products across major online marketplaces.

This isn't a huge, bureaucratic organization.

It's an agile, data-driven, growth-focused e-commerce business where decisions can happen quickly, performance matters, and individual contributions are visible.

The team is lean, which means your work won't disappear into a massive organization. If you perform well, your contribution will be noticed.

$16–$19 per hour

Plus a performance-based bonus, including potential profit/revenue sharing based on stream performance.

Your earning potential can grow alongside your ability to create engaging streams and drive results.

Why This Opportunity?

This isn't just about getting comfortable in front of a camera.

It's about developing skills that can become valuable in the future.

Imagine looking back one year from now and seeing yourself:

  • Confidently hosting live shows.
  • Building and engaging an audience.
  • Becoming better at public speaking and presentation.
  • Learning how live commerce works.
  • Understanding e-commerce sales and customer behavior.
  • Developing professional content and livestreaming skills.
  • Building experience in one of the fastest-changing areas of digital commerce.

The goal isn't simply to give you a job. It's to help you develop a skill set you can build a career around.

Ready to Go Live?

You don't need to have everything figured out.

You don't need years of experience.

You need to show up, bring your personality, learn quickly, communicate confidently, and be willing to put yourself out there.

Your camera is waiting.

Your audience is waiting.

Let's go live.
