Questions
Does it renew automatically?
No. We never charge automatically — you renew yourself whenever you like.
How do I pay?
After Subscribe you get a reference number and finish payment on WhatsApp. Your membership activates as soon as payment is confirmed.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange the upgrade.
What if I don't publish every piece in a month?
The monthly limit resets each month and doesn't carry over. It's a ceiling, not a commitment.
Just three steps
After you select a plan you receive an EX reference and a locked USD price, then finish on WhatsApp. Activation happens after payment is confirmed.
1Choose your path and term (we recommend annual).
2Create the request and get your EX reference.
3Send the reference on WhatsApp and pay — membership activates after confirmation.
