Priced for real budgets
Start at R4 per verified follow. A R200 test campaign is a real campaign here.
For business owners
Tell your community what's on — without selling them out.
The bakery, the co-op, the salon, the gig, the market stall. FediMedia is an affordable way for a small business to reach its own neighbours on the open social web — no surveillance, no bidding wars, no algorithm holding your customers hostage.
Advertising that small business can actually afford
You shouldn't need a marketing agency and a surveillance budget to let your town know you exist.
Reach your area
Target your region and language — the people who can actually walk in the door.
No creepy tracking
We don't follow your customers around the web, and we don't build dossiers on them.
Goodwill, not annoyance
Your spend funds the community's node, so people are glad you're there — not resentful.
Real follows, real people
You pay for a genuine relationship, not a thousand impressions nobody saw.
Set it and check in
Launch a campaign in minutes and watch it in plain language in your dashboard.
What you can promote
If it matters to your customers, it belongs here
Specials & offers
That two-for-one, the seasonal menu, the clearance rack.
Events & workshops
Open days, classes, markets, gigs and launches.
New stock or services
Let regulars know the thing they wanted is finally in.
Announcements
New opening hours, a new location, a milestone.
Hiring
Find people nearby who already care about what you do.
Grow your name
Build a following you keep, on a network you can trust.
A worked example
Say you're a bakery launching a Saturday sourdough special. You set a R200 budget for a Boosted Post at R4 per follow. You only pay when someone genuinely follows you.

Business owner questions
Is this really affordable for a small business?
Yes. You pay per verified follow, starting at R4, and you set the budget. There's no minimum spend, no retainer and no agency in the middle.
How is this different from Facebook or Google ads?
No tracking, no profiles, no auction against the biggest spender. Your ad appears in a community context, and your budget funds the node that hosts it.
Can I target just my town or region?
Yes — you choose regions and languages, so your spend goes to people who can actually walk in.
Do I need a website?
No. You can promote a Fediverse profile or post directly.
What can I promote?
Offers, events, new stock, announcements, hiring and more — as long as it's honest and lawful.
Who will see my ad?
Opted-in users on participating nodes that match your region, language and topic. Never tracked individuals.
