Payment Rates

 

Every time an item is sold on GraphicMonk, a percentage of the sale price goes to the author. This amount is credited directly into the member’s account as credit.

 


Payment Rates

 

We reward our designers by making it easier for our designers to earn higher payment rates. The amount is determined by whether the designer is selling a design template only on Graphic Monk and according to how many sales they have had in the past.

Selling Exclusively: 50 – 70%

As a Designer on Graphic Monk, you are eligible to receive between 50% and 70% of every sale should you choose to sell only items that are not sold elsewhere. Being an exclusive Designer simply means that any items you sell on Graphic Monk is exclusive to our collections.

 

New Designers start at the 50% level and as sales volume adds up, so does the commission percentage. That means the more you sell, the more you earn!

You can see a breakdown of how the percentages change with sales volume in the table below.

Selling Non-Exclusively: 40%

If you are choosing to sell the same content as you are selling on another marketplace or on your own site then you fall into the non-exclusive group. Non-exclusive authors receive 40% of each sale they make on Graphic Monk.

Additional Earnings (Affiliate Program): 30%

Referral Payments

All Authors are automatically accepted into our Affiliate Program and receive 30% as referral fees. TO use your referral link simply substitute in your username and add this code ?ref=username to our URLs to create a referral link, as follows:

  • http://graphicmonk.com?ref=username

Adding Referral Codes to Other Pages

You can also create referral links out of other pages besides the homepage. For most URLs you can simply append the code just as you do with the homepage. So this URL:

http://graphicmonk.com/items/2/Skyline-Logo.html

becomes:

http://graphicmonk.com/items/2/Skyline-Logo.html?ref=username

However if the URL already has a ? character in it and some code at the end, then you have to append this code instead &ref=username. So in other words you are replacing the ? with an & character. That’s because the ? tells the system that some variables are about to come next and then each variable and value is separated by an & character so the system can identify each one separately.

Tips

It’s possible to increase your referral income through some clever referral strategies. Write about us on your Blog and add a direct link to us with your referral link. Take part in other Forums, Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, Flicker, etc.
