Why is it changing?
Until now, Webfluential has subsidized all the costs related to serving our creator community. These costs include the cost of acquiring and servicing our network of over 5,000 marketers, sourcing you campaign work, giving you a great platform at no cost, and helping you connect with the right opportunities, and educating you on being a better creator.
From January, Webfluential will introduce a charge of 12.5% service fee for creators on work that they receive from Partner campaigns and job requests from marketers. This is in line with universally accepted fee structures for P2P and B2C online marketplaces and will allow us to continue serving creators with the best technology without membership fees. In effect, we are giving you access to all of the technology free-of-charge until you make any money through offers that come to you, that you otherwise wouldn’t have received.
For work that you proactively seek out, through the Proposals module, will have no service charge for creators as the time and effort to create a proposal and find a marketer largely remains with the creator.
What is changing?
These updates apply to all creators within the Webfluential community. The updates are described in the table below:

How does this affect me?
The service fee will be taken from your rate-card rate for the relevant campaign or direct job. We have provided a simple example below to explain the affect on your earnings:

As a creator you have the final say on your pricing per channel and are free to adjust however and whenever. Feel free to adjust your pricing in line with the market rates, and account for this change relative to how you wish to charge for your work.
