Skylar Racing, Inc. is looking for high-energy, fast-talking, camera-ready streamers to host high-pace live auctions on Whatnot.

  • Have you heard of WhatNot or TikTok Live Auctions?
  • Are you comfortable on camera for long periods of time?
  • Do you prefer a slow-paced job or a fast, high-pressure environment?
  • Can you talk continuously while thinking, reacting, and selling at the same time?
  • Are you okay with performance-based pay (commission tied to sales)?
  • How would you create urgency during a $1 sudden death auction?

Benefits & conditions

  • $12.77/hour + 2.5% gross commission
