Click "Sign Up" in the top menu, enter your email and password, then verify your email address. Choose whether you want to be an advertiser (buyer), publisher/influencer/freelancer (seller), or both. The entire process takes less than 2 minutes.

Yes, joining Outreachist is completely free. There are no signup fees, no monthly subscriptions, and no listing fees. We only charge transaction fees when orders are completed: 5% for buyers and 10% for sellers.

Use our advanced search filters to find websites by Domain Authority, niche, language, traffic, and price range. You can sort results by metrics like DA, DR, organic traffic, and seller rating to find the perfect match for your campaign.

Focus on Domain Authority (DA 30+), Domain Rating (DR 30+), organic traffic (5K+ monthly), and niche relevance. A lower-DA site in your exact niche often performs better than a high-DA site in an unrelated industry.

Yes. Most publishers include 1-2 rounds of revisions. If delivered content doesn't meet requirements, request specific changes. Funds stay in escrow until you approve the final work.

Publishers must provide the live URL where your content was published. You have 3-7 days to verify the content is live and meets requirements before approving the order.

Your payment is protected in escrow. If the deadline passes without delivery, you can cancel and receive a full refund. Our support team helps resolve any delivery issues.
