At the moment, the way you earn money with “My Own Mall” is simple – whenever anyone buys something via your shop, you get a commission. We’re now proud to introduce another way to earn money on “My Own Mall” – every time someone clicks on certain products in your store, you get paid!
A product will often be offered by more than one of our partners. Some of them will pay you in the “normal” way (as a commission on items bought via your store), but some will now pay you every time someone clicks on one of their offers.
A real-life example
This DVD is available from two of our merchant partners in the shopbot on your product page:
– Buy.com pays you commission on every sale (3%).
If a visitor of yours buys this DVD at Buy.com, you get $0.38 (3% * $12.62)
– Family Videos will pay you every time someone clicks on the offer ($0.06 per click).
Each time a visitor clicks on the “Family Video” offer, you get $0.06, even if your customer doesn’t buy the DVD!
What’s in it for me and my visitors?
It means that your visitors are presented with a greater variety of products.
For some of your products, the number of offers displayed in the shopbot will be greater thanks to this new innovation. It’s a good way to make sure that your visitors get the best price.
It guarantees you some revenue.
At the moment, you can get 50 visitors clicking on items in your shop without any purchases – which means no revenues. Now, you can get paid for every click.
But careful! You are not allowed to click on your own “per-click” offers!
How can you tell whether an offer is paid “per sale” or “per click”?
