Here’s How It Works (After You Apply)
-
Application Review
We’ll review your submission to ensure it’s a strong fit for our brand and hosting needs.
-
Initial Zoom Interview
If your application moves forward, we’ll schedule a quick Zoom call to get to know you, see how you present yourself, and answer any early questions.
-
Follow-Up Zoom Meeting
If selected to proceed, we’ll invite you to a second Zoom meeting to walk through the hosting agreement, compensation plan, and affiliate opportunities in detail. This is your time to ask questions and make sure it’s a good fit both ways.
-
Contract Review & Sign
You’ll receive your Independent Contractor Agreement and any additional onboarding documents via email. Review them at your own pace, then sign and return.
-
Schedule Your Branding Day
Once we’ve received your signed contract, we’ll move forward with scheduling your official Branding Day, which includes your professional photo shoot and sample MVP interview recording. (Details below.)
Next Steps
-
Photoshoot
To maintain a polished, trustworthy brand presence, every host will be showcased with a high-quality headshot on the website and in marketing materials. These photos are a critical part of your personal brand as a MVP host.
We’ll offer two options to get your photos ready:
Option 1: Self-Supplied Professional Photos
If you already have recent headshots (within the last 12 months) that meet the following criteria, you may submit them directly:
High resolution (minimum 1500px on the longest side)
Clean, uncluttered background (solid color or soft focus)
Bright, professional lighting (natural or studio)
You are dressed in business casual or clean, camera-ready attire
Friendly, confident facial expression
We’ll review your images and confirm they’re approved for use on the site.
Option 2: Photo Session with Our House Photographer
If you don’t have approved photos, we’ll schedule a mini photo shoot for you with our official in-house photographer. This ensures every host is presented with a consistent, professional, and on-brand visual style.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll coordinate a shoot date and location convenient for you (either at our studio or a local setup if we’re traveling)
You’ll receive clear prep guidelines in advance—what to wear, how to style yourself, and what to expect
Our photographer will capture a variety of poses and expressions to match your hosting energy
We’ll handle editing and selection to make sure your photo aligns with our platform’s visual standards
You just show up looking sharp—we’ll take care of the rest.
-
Film Sample Video
Each host will film a sample MVP interview to be featured on their personal profile. This gives potential clients the opportunity to see you in action, hear your tone and pacing, and get a feel for your on-camera presence before selecting a host for their video.
Here’s how we’ll help you shine:
You’ll receive a sample script or interview flow, so you’re not starting from scratch. It’s flexible—feel free to bring your own personality and style.
One of our creative directors will be on set to guide the shoot, coach you through pacing, transitions, and tone, and help bring out your natural strengths.
The footage will be professionally edited and branded, just like a real client interview, and uploaded to your host profile on the website as a preview of your work.
The goal is to make you look confident, approachable, and highly “bookable.” It’s not an audition—it’s a showcase.
-
Website Profiles & Host Showcase
Each host will be featured with a personal profile on our website as part of a curated Host Showcase Section. This profile is designed to help potential clients choose the host that best fits their brand, tone, and audience.
Your personal host profile will include:
• Professional headshot and bio
• Highlight reel or sample MVP clips you’ve hosted
• Client-facing introduction video (optional, but encouraged)
• A breakdown of your hosting style, energy level, and strengths
• A “Book Me As Your Host” button or form, linked directly to our project intake system
Clients will be able to browse our host roster, watch real examples of you in action, and select the host they feel most aligned with. This not only creates trust and transparency but also positions you as a professional talent with real visibility on our platform.
