- How much does this cost?
AdShare is Free – there are no start up costs or monthly fees. Money moves from LiveDeal to the AdShare partner, and never the other way around.
- What percentage of the revenue generated on the web site do I get?
AdShare partners get 70% of the revenue generated from listing fees, lead generation, and final value fees. View LiveDeal’s Fee Structure
- How will AdShare boost my print classifieds business?
Once you partner with LiveDeal, we promote your publication to users posting web ads in your zip codes. For example: “Want even more New York residents to see your ad? List your ad in the New York Pennysaver and reach over 5,000,000 New York residents weekly!"
- Can I host the web site? If not, who hosts it?
LiveDeal hosts the web site. However, each partner will be given their own exclusive URL.
- What are my obligations as an AdShare partner?
AdShare partners must provide a minimum level of promotion to their readers, listeners, viewers, members, and/or users. Promotions come in the form of display advertising, radio advertisements, web links, email blasts, television commercials, and streaming media advertisements. Print publishers must upload their classified listings to the site on a regular basis. Classifieds listings can be uploaded in an automated fashion with the Bulk Upload Tool or an XML feed.
- How do we know what ads to run? Who selects the ads?
LiveDeal provides you with sample advertisements which can be customized to fit your publication or broadcast.
- Is there any web development or programming work required?
No. LiveDeal provides the web site and the technology. Our partners market the web site in their community. And we split the revenues.
- What reports are available? How is the revenue tracked? How will I be paid?
LiveDeal offers real time reporting through an online interface that supplies you with metrics such as web site traffic, registrations, premium listings, and leads generated from your web address. At the end of each month, LiveDeal will send you a check for earnings accrued from all transaction activity.
- What else can I do to make this successful?
We encourage ambitious partners to recruit auto dealers in their area to provide their auto inventory on the site. LiveDeal provides marketing materials you can send to your auto dealers.
- I am with a small paper / station / school. Can I still be an AdShare partner? What are the requirements to become an AdShare partner?
We partner with organizations large and small. Please inquire with our Business Development Manager to discuss your situation.
- I am a Publisher, but I don’t have Classifieds in my paper. Can I still benefit from AdShare?
Yes! You can expand your presence online with your own classifieds marketplace. AdShare will give you the solution that you need to complement your business and make up for not having classifieds in your paper.
- I already have classifieds on my web site. Why would I still want to become an AdShare partner?
Run the AdShare Classifieds Marketplace solution in parallel to your existing web site. This gives you an additional way to touch your customers and an additional media property to profit from. Why not expand your business with a second web site that has more features, functionality, and robustness than your existing classifieds!
- I already use Ad2Ad / Classified Technologies / Baseview / or another Classifieds Management Software Application. Why would I still want to become an AdShare partner?
AdShare is not a Classifieds Management Software Application. It is a standalone classifieds marketplace that complements your existing classifieds business. Run AdShare in parallel to your existing software to maximize revenue and increase your value to your customers.
