If you owned PublicityClerks...

If you were the owner of PublicityClerks.com how would you go about competing with BuySellAds?

Don't know why, but I'm totally into this idea of "Pay what you want" type fee system. I think such system would be awesome for a site like PublicityClerks and would bring a lot of people in.

How would this system work? Are you paying for impressions or what?

Basically, PublicityClerks would stay the same except the user decides how much of a fee they would like to pay. So, instead of the 10% or whatever PC takes out when someone buys an ad the person selling gets to choose how much of a fee they would like to give to PC.

That make sense?

So the price of the ad would remain the same but the ad buyer would get to pick the marketplace fee?

Yep.

 

[Sam1]

Yep.

Wouldn't most ad buyers choose not to give PublicityClerks anything?

Quite possible, but if you look at things like HumbleBundle, they manage to survive off little "donations". I think quite a few people would give a bit of there money to PC to see it survive.

Fair point. Nerdie is the owner of PC. I get the feeling he would rather professionally run PC than survive off donations.

haha - yeah! I suppose you would be a generous soul then JLogan!

Nah, it's just the fees can seem crippling on those months when you're in a bind. I know everyone has good months, and bad months of selling ads. So, on a good month I'm sure people will give a little back for letting them get all their money when they were on the struggle.

Ya dig?

I would spend around 500usd for buying ads for publicity clerks for PC itself!

If I owned PC, I'd fix the damn social ads bugs!

I'm pretty sure nerdie has spent way more than that already spending it on sites who are in the network as well

If I owned the site, I'd try to make the site more accessible to owners of smaller sites, than BSA. For example I'd allow webmasters to sell ad slots from $1 up and I'd allow much smaller pay outs. Then when the site got really busy, I'd consider increasing the minimum values and start building profitability.

That's a good way of looking at it. However, Publicity Clerks already allows smaller site that BSA don't. In fact, most websites who use Publicity Clerks, as soon as they are able to switch to BSA, they do so. For more "publicity". The irony xD

I know it does that, but I have a site which got accepted in BSA yet not in PC!

These two sites are very unique, especially BuySellAds because it has been in the game longer. Publicity Clerks is doing very well for competing against BuySellAds so far.

If I were the owner of PC, I would lower the payment limit to withdraw your money, $25 is a bit too high in my opinion. I'd lower it to $5-$10, it encourages people to keep adding advertisements because they know the goal isn't too far away If you understand what I'm saying
