DT subscription Earning vs Fee

(1/2) > >>

Groucho:
I dont understand DT subscription Earning vs Fee :
 - When I have a subscription sale, DT credit me $0.35
 - The customer fee for subscription is between $0.18 and $0.24 per image

How can DT make money ?
Or did I miss something ?

Pauws99:
Most customers don't use their full quota

Groucho:
If DT pays me $0.35, DT probably need to make at least $0.70 from the customer (much more if you look at iStock).

With a customer fee per image of less than $0.24, this would mean customers use less than 30% of their full quota  :o
Look as if subscription is not such a big deal for the customers.

they said before that subscription plans are only for marketing to attract more buyers , and they sometime earn nothing and may be lose.. they give exlusive .42 cent so these subscription plans are not profitable at all for the agency even if buyers donot use their full quota..

anyway it is like marketing, and you must pay to promote your agency, so they do the same thing..
like what they do on assignments or milestones or even upload bonus..i think it is good thing, they are different from all other sites, community, team.. i like this site anyway, despite leak of sales but they work at no barriers

Well unless I'm an exception most of their sales are subs so its an expensive way of attracting buyers...who presumably buy subs. If they didn't make a profit on them they would soon be out of business.
