This new service aims to allow bloggers increased flexibility when selling services from their blogs. Instead of having to go through a middleman (who takes anything up to 50% commission per sale), blog owners can utilise the sales platform and marketplace provided to keep 100% of their sales revenue.
Initially geared towards wordpress users, the free plugin provided lets blog owners make sales of anything from paid reviews to contextual links. There is also a hosted option provided for non-wordpress users.
OIOpublisher In Their Own Words
Zero Commission Taken: it’s that simple, for every sale you make, you get to keep 100% of the revenue. Many other networks take upto 50% commission per sale made. That adds up to quite a nice chunk of change you’re missing out on!
Full Sales Control: you really do control everything with OIOpublisher. You’re the one making the sales, not us. You can set everything from prices to how many paid review requests you want to allow per week. You can even control when an advertiser is allowed to pay you!
Instant Payments: if you belong to sites that pay you once a week, or even once a month, you’ll understand that it can sometimes be frustrating. Since you’re the one the payments go to when a purchase is made, there are no delays. When a purchase is made, the money is yours too!
Why OIOpublisher It Might Be A Killer
Removing the large commissions that the majority of services take when selling paid reviews or links may well appeal to many bloggers out there. The fact that payments are made directly to the bloggers is also a bonus. If the service were to spread well throughout the blogosphere, it could allow for lower prices to advertisers, whilst still earning bloggers more money.
Some Questions About OIOpublisher
Will the marketplace be filled quickly enough to take on the middleman services?
