The Basics: Roles and Payments
Content Galaxy is a hosting service for premium collections of digital content,
ranging from streaming video to downloadable files. It provides a publishing platform for
creating channels that pool together similar material from many different
sources. Participants are paid on the basis of actual subscriber usage. Content
Galaxy’s web service offers a convenient new way for content providers to
generate income from their web sites, blogs, emails, and social networking posts.
There are five basic roles: subscriber, content provider, affiliate, publisher, and editor.
Content Galaxy users can have any combination of these roles.
Be a Content Galaxy content provider
Sell your videos or articles through an existing channel.
If you are an author, an artist, or the owner of valuable digital assets,
consider generating income by distributing your material through a Content Galaxy
(CG) channel.
Each channel (publication) is a scrupulously edited collection of high
quality content from many participating authors, made available to a targeted
audience of paid subscribers. Subscription revenues are shared among participants
according to equitable and transparent formulas, which you can confirm
through our real-time monitoring facilities.
As a contributor of original content, you will receive regular, automated
payments based on the popularity of your work. Also, if you add a link on your
web site to anyone’s CG content, including your own, you’ll receive an
affiliate commission on the credit for any subscription sale, video watched or download done
through that link.
By combining materials from many content providers, selecting for quality,
and adding editorial value, CG channels make a compelling case for
reasonably priced subscriptions, and the case grows stronger with each
additional piece of content. For content providers, CG offers a way to gain
increased exposure and generate revenues from a larger audience, without
the burden of marketing, advertising, and supplying your own e-commerce
infrastructure. In other words, you can make good money through CG by doing
nothing more than supplying good, original material.
Be a Content Galaxy affiliate
Get paid when links on your web site result in subscription sales, downloads, or streaming play.
You can become a CG affiliate simply by joining our affiliate marketing
program and providing links on your own web site to items of content in CG channels
and
publications. As an affiliate, you earn commissions whenever one of your links
leads to the sale of a new subscription or to the viewing of a video or download by a subscriber.
Recognizing the potential value of effective affiliate marketing, the CG
infrastructure fully supports the same kind of automated accounting,
monitoring, and payment facilities for affiliates as those it provides to
authors, editors, and publishers.
If you are an existing CG content provider, editor, or publisher, you can
increase your income by also participating as an affiliate. Even if you have
no other connection to CG, you can earn a significant amount of income as an
affiliate, just by incorporating some appropriate CG links into your web site.
