## Post (138 words)

We're opening RateRight to early users.

No subscription. No lock-in. No credits you have to figure out. No agency calling you every Monday trying to upsell.

$50 flat per completed hire. Workers keep 100%.

If you're a contractor hiring steelfixers, formworkers, labourers, concreters, or scaffolders in Sydney — this is built for you.

If you're a worker sick of agencies clipping $25/hr off your rate and giving you nothing for it — this is built for you too.

First 50 contractors get early access.

→ rateright.com.au
→ Or message me directly.

No pitch deck. No demo call. Just tell me what trade you need and when you need them.

We're not trying to disrupt anything. We just did the maths and decided someone should stop taking the piss.

## Draft Notes

**Voice check:**
- "No credits you have to figure out" — direct Hipages dig without naming them ✅
- "No agency calling you every Monday trying to upsell" — real experience, every contractor knows this ✅
- "Clipping $25/hr off your rate" — worker perspective, specific number ✅
- "No pitch deck. No demo call." — anti-startup, anti-corporate ✅
- "Taking the piss" — Australian, controlled anger, site language ✅
- Trade names (steelfixers, formworkers, concreters, scaffolders) — construction-specific, not generic "tradies" ✅

**Michael Test:** Would he say this at smoko? "Someone should stop taking the piss" — absolutely. The trades list is his world. "Message me directly" is how he'd actually handle early signups. ✅ Passes.

**Tier: 🟢 Green (Glance)** — Straightforward CTA post. Voice is consistent. Michael just needs to confirm:
1. "First 50 contractors" — is that the right early access number?
2. "Message me directly" — is he comfortable fielding DMs, or should this point to a form/email?

**Strategic notes:**
- Pairs with Post 07 (RateRight intro) and Post 08 (founder story) — this is the action step
- "First 50" creates urgency without being fake-scarce
- Deliberately competitor-agnostic in naming — "credits" and "agency calling every Monday" are specific enough that anyone in construction knows who we're talking about
- Dual audience (contractors AND workers) in one post — both get told "this is for you"
- "Message me directly" keeps it personal and founder-led, which matches our positioning
- Can be adapted: Facebook (same copy), TikTok (script version with Michael reading it), email (longer version with signup link)

**Posting notes:** Post this 2-3 days after Post 07/08 — give the problem/story time to land before the CTA. Thursday or Friday morning works — contractors plan next week's crew on Fridays.
