## Caption

```
Working construction on a visa in Australia?

Here's what nobody tells you:

The contractor likes your work. Wants you back every week.
Starts talking about sponsoring your visa.

But you're through an agency. They own the relationship.
The contractor doesn't even have your number.

On RateRight, the contractor hires YOU directly.
They see your name. Your ratings. Your work history.
When sponsorship conversations start — they start with you.

No agency in the middle. No one else taking credit for your graft.

$0 to sign up. Keep 100% of your rate. Build a reputation that follows you.

The blokes who got sponsored? They were the ones contractors actually knew by name.

## Visual Concept

Text overlay on dark background. Bold headline: **"They can't sponsor someone they don't know."**

Alternative: Split image — left side: "Agency worker #4217", right side: "Dave, steelfixer, 4.8 stars"

## Edit Notes

**Why this exists:** Cross-platform gap. Susan's Facebook Post #1 covers the sponsorship angle for Facebook groups. Instagram had no equivalent. This closes the gap so the visa/sponsorship message reaches both platforms when the campaign launches.

**What's different from Susan's FB version:**
- Longer format — Instagram allows (and rewards) longer captions
- Story structure — walks through the scenario rather than stating the benefit
- Added the agency blocker angle — "they own the relationship" is the specific problem
- Ends with a concrete image: "the blokes who got sponsored were known by name"

**Michael Test:** "No one else taking credit for your graft" — site language. The sponsorship pathway is real — Michael's talked about workers getting sponsored through direct contractor relationships. The scenario (agency blocking the relationship) is something he's seen firsthand. ✅ Passes.

**Cross-platform consistency:**
- Susan's FB #1: Short, punchy, states the benefit directly. Right for Facebook groups.
- This IG #6: Story-driven, walks through the scenario. Right for Instagram feed.
- Same core message: direct relationship → sponsorship pathway → no agency in the middle.
