"Revenue share program" vs "Per download program" for professional uploaders.

    Hello
    Two months ago we at easy-share.com rolled our a new program, which pays uploaders up to 50% of revenue, generated by uploaded files.

    It works quite simple
    1. web surfers click on file urls to download your files
    2. most of users download your file for free - in this case you don't earn anything.
    3. there is a chance that user buys a premium account - in this case you earn 35-50% percent of sale amount.

    Unlike "per download model", in which uploaders are paid for each download of their file(s), uploaders earn only when users buy premium memberships.

    There are benefits and drawbacks of revenue share model.
    Drawbacks: if you upload rarely or you give your users mirrors (three or more) to your files, users will not buy premiums.
    If your users are from "countries of the third world", you'll probably will not have many sales either.

    Benefits:
    Revenue sharing will drastically increase revenue of big uploaders. If you have many files in your account and you often upload new files,your users will buy premiums more often. If your primary users are from US, Canada or Western Europe, the probability that they buy premiums is even higher.

    We made calculations for the last 30 days and found out that only 12% of ALL accounts earn more comparing to the old program. But in these measurements we include all account even if account has only 1 or more downloads per months.

    When we select accounts that have about 1000 downloads per day, we see that 68% of such accounts earn more comparing to the old program.

    Below is the report that shows performance of top50 accounts who participate in Revenue Share program.

    Hello to everyone,

    I am Bkk Boy and I can confirm what is said by P.P. because I am that uploader they speaking about and everything is correct as I have the same data on my account. I can prove it in any point from my Easy Share Account.

    This is my great month of Jan:

    [​IMG]

    Easy-share told me that i win the double with the revenue program. Well... this is a little less of what i use to earn...

    I really like easy-share but there are other hosts who pay a little more, and i'm thinking about change to one of those.

    Thit is a incredible!

    Whenever I make a claim or I come here to say that easy-share does not compensate because the profits that I obtain is not very good, i receive in the following days some money.

    Which is the truth in this or easy-share just gone say that it is only coincidence?

    When they had changed my account for this new program (without my authorization), had informed me that I would earn much more and the truth is that in the first days I earned almost the double but now I earn less even with the same numbers of downloads.

    And why they delete some of my files when the have been donwload before the 90 days? One of the last file deleted it's only my best download file!

    By now i'm slowly changing for another host, uploading the easy-share deleted files.

    I'm starting not to trust in easy-share.
