For experts
RAiN gives AI implementers — individuals, small teams, and agencies — a structured, trusted way to win and deliver work. You deliver in the client's tools on RAiN's behalf; RAiN handles intake, matching, workflow, quality, and paying you.
How you get work
- Apply through the guided expert questionnaire (skills, services, tools, industries, availability, capacity).
- Get verified. Your profile is reviewed; your verification status and tier appear on your dashboard.
- Receive job offers. When RAiN assigns you to a business's project, it appears under Job offers — review the brief and Accept or Decline. See Accepting jobs.
- Accepting creates a project with a ready‑made milestone plan.
New here? Two guides cover the essentials: Accepting jobs (offers, credits, accepting) and Payments (earnings, adding your bank, getting paid).
Your dashboard
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Welcome video | A short intro from RAiN (when available) |
| KPI cards | Active projects, pending requests, completed, your tier |
| Match requests | Incoming matches to accept/decline; open accepted projects |
| Active projects | Each project with a live milestone progress bar |
| Recent activity | Requests, acceptances, submissions, completions |
| Your details | Your full expert profile |
Your sidebar has Dashboard, Job offers, Projects (everything you've accepted — active and completed, in one place), Earnings (your payout records + getting paid), and Billing.
Delivering a project
Each project follows the standard milestone workflow:
| # | Milestone | Typical work |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Intake | Confirm scope and access |
| 2 | Audit | Assess current process and readiness |
| 3 | Solution design | Plan the implementation |
| 4 | Setup | Configure the tools (in the client's environment) |
| 5 | Testing | Validate it works |
| 6 | Training | Hand skills to the client's team |
| 7 | Launch | Go live |
| 8 | Optimization | Tune and improve |
For each milestone you:
- ✅ Tick checklist items as you complete them
- 📎 Upload evidence — screenshots, a configuration summary, test results, known limitations, and a handover doc
- 🚀 Submit the project for QA when it's ready
Quality review
After you submit, an admin/reviewer checks your work against a QA checklist:
- Pass → the project is verified and completed.
- Needs revision → it comes back to you with notes; address them and resubmit.
Nothing is marked complete without passing QA — this protects your reputation and the client's outcome.
Your plan
Your plan is a subscription. It decides what work you can take, how you appear to businesses, and what share of a project price you keep:
| Plan | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Starter | Free. Training and templates, and one job a month |
| Pro | A lower service fee, the full training library, and a listing in your category |
| Growth | Unlimited job responses, specialised matching, and a featured place on category pages |
| Team | Up to five practitioner seats, priority on new leads, and tools to review your team's work |
| Agency | Seats for your team, many client projects, and a dedicated partner manager |
Higher plans keep a larger share of the project price — from 85% up to 93%. Current prices and the full feature list are under Settings → Plans & billing.
Verification is not part of your plan
Being verified is separate, and you cannot buy it. RAiN verifies an expert by hand after reviewing their profile, and only a verified expert appears in the public directory and in matching. It costs nothing, no plan includes it, and upgrading will not grant it.
Job credits
Responding to job offers uses credits on the free plans:
- You start with 5 credits. Each time you accept or decline a job offer, it costs 1 credit.
- When you run low, buy more anytime under Settings → Job credits (you'll also see your credit balance on the Job offers page).
- If you run out, you'll be prompted to buy more before you can accept a new job.
- On the Growth, Team and Agency plans, job responses are unlimited — no credits needed.
Credits keep responses timely — they encourage genuine, prompt replies to the jobs RAiN matches you with.
Getting paid
RAiN pays you as a subcontractor for the projects you deliver. You see payout records and their statuses — there's no stored balance; RAiN sends each approved payout to your bank.
- When a business approves your completed, quality‑checked delivery, RAiN pays you your agreed rate — your tier's share of the project fee (85–93%). RAiN records a payout and sends it to your bank.
- Link a Nigerian bank account under Settings → Bank account so RAiN can pay you via Paystack transfer.
- Go to Earnings to see every payout and its status (pending, processing, or paid). Transfers are processed through our payment provider and may take a little time to settle.
Getting paid opens once billing goes live — you can link your bank beforehand.
Standing out
- Keep your profile sharp in Settings — primary skill, services, availability, capacity, and a profile photo.
- Get verified and grow your tier — Specialist and above are featured on AI Solution pages where businesses browse for experts.
- Provide clear evidence and a thorough handover doc — it speeds QA and builds trust.
- Respond to job offers promptly.
