Earn money from your photos and videos on mobMMS!
Yes, that's right - the WAP site is going live as I type this, and along with it is a brand new feature, the ability to earn some real-life cash with your mobMMS postings! :-D
Here's the theory:
You send a photo or video in to mobMMS, and as long as you've send it using your unique email address which links it in with your account, you will see a new panel in the left-hand column like the one in the image below:
You can then set the price in terms of credits for each image or video in your collection. Currently, each 1 credit costs the downloader 10p, but this may change (I'll make sure it's kept up to date somewhere).
The site tries to suggest a best-fit price for your content, and suggests it. But of course, you can set your pricing to whatever you want, up to a max of 15 credits (£1.50).
Should you not want to include your content in this scheme, you just click on the "deny" button and it will no longer be downloadable. Naturally, private or deleted stuff isn't available for download either (unless you've added people to the private allow-list who then try to download it). You can re-include it in the downloads, or deny it from the downloads whenever you wish.
Once someone had downloaded an item of yours via the WAP site, your account gets the credit added to your balance. This balance then gets converted to cash once you reach a threshold level (still in negotiation, but we guess around £10), and you can withdraw it to your PayPal or NOCHEX account.
Sounds good? Well only downside is that a large %age is taken out by the networks just for them allowing us to do this payment stuff :'-( This is about 50-60% of each payment. Plus we need to take a wee bit out to actually keep the site alive as all this is costing a pretty penny I tell thee! But whatever is left after the networks steal their amount from it, you can guarantee it'll be a fair %age. I can't give figures just yet as we need to confirm these percentages with the network and billing provider, but I'll let you all know ASAP.
Naturally, you'll be accumulating credits on your account as soon as the billing system goes live on the WAP site. You'll also be able to track in real-time what people are downloading from you and what your mobMMS credit balance is (http://www.mobmms.com/info/stats/ currently), so if one image or video is more popular than others, you can tell that from the stats and make more of them!
As always, this is work in progress, and we'll be giving everyone using the WAP site for the first time 15 free credits just to give it a whirl, so all stats will be reset once these have expired and the billing system goes live properly. I also need a little more time to polish off the user stat-tracking page, but that'll be finished pretty soon hopefully. But the most important thing at the moment is getting the WAP site up and running otherwise you won't be able to earn anything at all!
Post any feedback or questions up here and I'll try and answer them as this isn't the clearest of posts. I'll be putting up proper pages and explanations for this all on the main site later, just want people to know why random new panels are popping up all over the place!
