AfroHot was a real help when I started out as an independent last year. The enquiries you sent plus my old clients meant my life got a lot better! Thanks for the help.
Yes, it is always free to have a profile. There is a (generous) limit on the number of enquiries (messages and clicks on your phone number) you can get each month in 'free mode'. If you reach this limit we will send you an email and you will not appear for 14 days when people make a search, although you profile will continue to be live and people will still be able contact you. We do this to provide the fairest distribution of exposure on the site between our free members.
If you provide a complete profile with accurate information, you will increase the number and quality of the results you get from it.
Please don't!
No. If you create duplicate profiles they may be deleted or your account blocked. As an individual you can list in more than one city if you really are there often (please pause your listing when not there and put available dates on your different profiles). You will save time on responding to enquiries which don't produce business.
Yes, as long as you have their permission for you to list them and they are real people.
We hope so! In your account area on AfroHot you can see graphs which detail: the number of messages sent to you, clicks on your phone number and clicks through to your website. If you use Google Analytics you can also find the number of website visitors by looking in Acquisition > Campaigns > All Campaigns. We know you won't always know about all the customers we send, but we have tried our best to give you an idea! If you have questions about measurement, get in touch, as we really appreciate hearing about your results.
A few cities have higher pricing than the base prices below because of higher demand and better results for advertisers. You will see the price for your city from your listing page. Our main goal is to deliver value-for-money to everyone, based on results, while maintaining a free option for everyone.

Profiles within the different categories (VIP, Featured, Basic and Free) are randomised daily and customised to the individual user and quality factors for each search (make sure you answer or ignore questions, add video and get reviews for the best results). We do this to provide the best possible experience for users and ensure that all advertisers in a single category receive a similar amount of exposure to users.
Our main objective is to provide value-for-money. Our pricing is defined on a per city basis. We only raise prices (and not often) when the number of enquiries and advertisers goes over a certain level. This is to maintain the number of VIP and Featured listings at a level where each paid listing will continue to receive the number of enquiries they expect from us. We introduced variable pricing after talking to many advertisers who were asking how they could get more exposure and indicated they were willing to pay more if they could stand out.
If you post fake photos, your account will be blocked. Also we will block other accounts you have. No excuses, no discussion. If you have a paid listing and it gets blocked the credits are not refundable.
This is the most common complaint from users about listings. In addition, fake photos are not fair for other advertisers. Your photos may be marked as fake because of a user report. You will receive a warning mail when this happens and then you have 48 hours to verify your photos before your listing gets blocked. Verification is free and you can verify here.
If you are an advertiser and do not follow the rules, your account and any current account associated with you and and future account will be blocked.
