We have made sign up as quick and easy as possible with Single Sign On (SSO) – which allows users to sign in through Facebook, Google, or with your Apple ID. SSO allows you to stay logged in to your Wowzi account.
This fast and convenient sign on method allows you to quickly join the Wowzi community and browse available jobs, and check out the Wowzi creator app, without having to enter additional personal details up front.
Sign on and account creation are just the first step of your onboarding journey. You will still need to complete your profile, link social accounts, add bank details, and verify your identity before you are eligible to complete jobs and get paid.

The Wowzi Rank is a score ranging from 0 to 10 that represents the level of achievement for Wowzi creators. It is accompanied by a rank-specific segment that indicates the creator's standing within the platform.
Every new Wowzi creator starts at Rank 0 classified into a segment called Newbie Creator. Each creator has the opportunity to rank up by engaging in specific actions and meeting certain criteria.
The Wowzi Rank is generated based on certain criteria metrics which can be classified as:
- Good Behavior
- Bad Behavior
A good behavior is classified as when a creator conforms to expected actions e.g. completing an accepted job. Every Good Behavior contributes to an increase in the ranking score.
A bad behavior is classified as when a creator fails to conform to expected action e.g. failing to complete an accepted job. Every Bad Behavior contributed to a decrease in the ranking score.
As time progresses, creators can continuously engage in Good Behavior actions with the ultimate goal of reaching the Wowzi Rank 10 which sees a creator classified in the Veteran Creator Segment.

- Continuously participating in an increasing number of campaigns
