how
works
Poppermint makes it easy for students to turn their talents into paid gigs — and for customers to find affordable, fresh talent.
Here’s how it all comes together:
1. set up
students:
Create your free Poppermint account, set up your gig, and tell the world what you’re offering!
Be specific, be clear, and don't be afraid to show a little personality — it's what makes you stand out.
customers:
Browse available gigs in your area and discover talented students offering everything from photography to tutoring to tech support.
2. share
students:
Spread the word!
Share your gig link with friends, family, neighbours, and local businesses.
The more people who know about your skills, the faster you’ll start booking gigs.
customers:
Found a gig you love? Share it with others too — supporting students helps our whole community grow.
3. communicate
customers:
Before booking, you message a student to ask questions, clarify details, and make sure everything’s a good fit.
Clear, friendly communication sets everyone up for success.
students:
You'll receive an email when a customer has a question or is interested in booking your gig, to which you can reply directly.
4. confirm
customers:
Ready to book?
Simply confirm the gig by checking out directly through Poppermint.
You'll see the full price (student's rate + platform fee) and a small service charge at checkout.
students:
Once a booking is confirmed, you’ll get a notification.
Stay in touch with your customer to finalize any last details like scheduling or materials needed.
5. complete
students:
Show up on time, deliver your service with care, and make it an awesome experience!
Your professionalism and great work will earn you positive reviews — and more gigs down the road.
customers:
Enjoy the service, and don't forget to leave a review!
Your feedback helps students grow and helps others know what to expect.
6. repeat!
students:
Each gig you complete builds your reputation, your experience — and your wallet.
Update your gig often, celebrate your wins, and keep the momentum going.
customers:
Loved the service?
Book again, explore other student talents, and keep supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs!
