You’ve Just Been Added as a Host on Posh, Now What?

Congrats, you’ve been added as a host on Posh! Whether you’re a promoter, a DJ, or part of the crew helping to spread the word, you’re officially part of the team for an event and have your own tools inside the app to help make it a success. This guide will walk you through exactly what you can do as a host and how to make the most of your role.

Create Your Own Tracking Links (and Get Credit for Sales)

The number one thing you’ll want to do as a host is set up your own tracking links. These links make sure that when you sell tickets, you get credit, and the organizer can see how much impact you’re driving.

Here’s how:

• Log into Posh and open the event you’re hosting.
• Go to the Team & Tracking section.
• Scroll down to Tracking Links.
• Click the + Create Tracking Link button to make your own.
• Copy your personalized link and use it to invite attendees to your event.

Pro tip: You can also create multiple tracking links: one for social media, another for SMS, and another for email. This lets you tailor your outreach for each channel while giving you clear insights into where your audience is engaging most.

Use Your Access the Right Way

As a host, you may be given access to certain features depending on the permissions set by the event organizer. These tools can help keep the event running smoothly and make sure you get credit for the work you’re putting in. Here’s what that could include:

• Sell tickets in person with In-Person Payments: Most of the time, you’ll focus on sharing your tracking links before the event. But some organizers also give hosts permission to handle in-person sales. If that’s the case, you can cover those last‑minute walk‑ups who didn’t buy ahead, pull up the app, process their payment on the spot, and keep the line moving.
• Check guests in with the built‑in scanner: Similarly, if you're set up for it, you'll be able to jump on door duty when needed. Scan tickets fast, cut down wait times, and make sure everyone gets inside without hassle.
• Track your sales performance in real time: Keep an eye on how many tickets your links are moving. This helps you see what’s working and show organizers the numbers tied directly to your efforts.

These tools are the basics that let you contribute, keep the night flowing, and show the value you bring as part of the team.

Spread the Word Like a Pro

Once you’ve created your tracking link, the next step is sharing it in the right places. The more you share, the more credit you’ll rack up for ticket sales. Some ideas:

• Instagram DMs: Drop your link directly into conversations with friends and followers. Example: “Pulling up this Friday? Grab your ticket here so you don’t miss out 👉 [your link].”
• Stories and bios: Swap your IG bio link or add your tracking link to stories with a call-to-action. Example: “Lineup is set, tickets are moving fast. Tap the link in bio to lock yours in.”
• Group chats: Share in text threads or WhatsApp groups where you know people are looking for plans. Example: “We’re hitting this party Friday, tickets here: [your link].”
• Email and SMS blasts: If you have a list, send your link out and encourage your network to join. SMS Example: “Hey crew! Excited to see you at [Event Name]! Secure your spot with my link: [your link].”
• Tap into your network: Share your link with local DJs, tastemakers, or friends with reach and ask them to post it too.
