There are lots of various flash marketplaces to sell your flash files, and each of them offers a different payment rates policy. Here at FlashScope we decided to optimize our payment rates system, and we are in need of your opinion on the topic!
Here is the overview of the most popular payment rates systems. We want you to vote for the one that you find the best:
Author type: Exclusive Grid and Non-exclusive Flat Rate

Author type means you have to make a decision at the very registration:
- If you choose to be an exclusive author – you have a nice payment rate growth grid, depending on your overall sales volume;
- If you pick a non-exclusive author – you have a flat payment rate, no matter how much you sell.
Author type: Exclusive Grid and Non-exclusive Grid

Again you choose your account type, but now your options are slightly different:
- If you choose to be an exclusive author – you have a decent start percentage and quick growth to a maximum value;
- If you pick a non-exclusive author – you still have the grid, but the starting point is much lower, and you got to make a lot more sales to have your percent grow.
Flash Files Diversity: Payment Rate Per Component

This way you can have 2 types of flash components under single author account. You can set your components to be exclusive, or either you can choose a non-exclusive option. Each component has its own payment rates grid since then, and those grid is dependent on the sales volume of this particular flash file.
- By setting a component to exclusive it gets a high starting payment rate and a fast growing grid;
- Non-exclusive components have very low starting payment rate and a much slower grid.
Flash Files Diversity: Payment Rate Per Group
Means that you can have 2 groups of components, exclusive ones and non exclusive ones. Each group has it’s own grid, which is dependent on the sales volume of all components in this group.
- Exclusive components group has a more beneficial grid;
- Non-exclusive components have a less beneficial grid.
Here’s a little secret for you. Once we have the results – we’ll redo our current payment system here at FlashScope to fit your needs :)
