Why You Need 14 Days and 50 Sales Before Posting Work

Why Knomart uses a simple activity threshold before merchants can post work.

Starting a business on Knomart is not the same as immediately posting work for other people to apply for. Before a merchant can post work, there is a simple verification period: the business needs at least 14 days of activity and at least 50 sales.

That rule is not there to make starting difficult. It helps protect the quality of the marketplace and gives the system evidence that a merchant is a real, active business.

Why 14 days?

A new business account does not tell the whole story. Fourteen days gives a merchant time to operate normally, record activity and establish a basic history.

For a genuine business, this is a practical period of proving that the shop is actually operating. For someone creating an account only to post work without a real business behind it, the same requirement creates useful friction.

Why 50 sales?

Sales provide another simple signal: customers are actually buying the products or services the business offers. Reaching 50 recorded sales gives the business a meaningful activity record rather than an empty profile.

The purpose is not to judge how profitable the business is. It is to establish that there is real commercial activity behind the merchant account.

What the rule protects

  • Members: people applying for work can have more confidence that the opportunity comes from an active business.
  • Merchants: the marketplace is less exposed to accounts created without genuine business activity.
  • The community: better-quality opportunities help keep the system useful and trustworthy.

Use the 14 days well

The waiting period is not wasted time. Keep your business records current, understand your operations and build a reliable sales history. The stronger your foundation, the more useful your future activity on Knomart can be.

The simple idea

Fourteen days and 50 sales are not meant to be a barrier for a real business. They are a practical verification threshold: easy enough for a genuine merchant to reach, but meaningful enough to discourage misuse.

Build the business first. Build the record. Then post work from a position of credibility.
