What is Bubblesoft?

Bubblesoft website hosts videos about software products. When you want to buy a software you first should make sure it has the features you need. You watch the video which tells you about the product and find it out. If the video shows you what you want you either download trial version or buy this product.

How much do you pay to me?

The more great video reviews you create the more money Bubblesoft earns. The more we earn the more we share with you.

The vendor’s commission is split the following way

How much can an author earn?

It depends on multiple factors: the size of vendor’s commission, the popularity of the software, its price and of course the quality of your video review.

The quality of review is what really matters because the buyers will rank your video and the higher the rank is the greater chance your video appears in the top list. And the top list is what people buy more frequently.

Another reason for creating good review is that other people would like to share your great video on their websites, it means more sources of getting commission for you.

Let’s make a simple calculation. You created a video review for a software which costs $29.99 and the vendor’s commission is 50%. Your video was viewed at Bubblesoft website by 1000 people in September and 2% bought the software. Your video was also shared by 10 bloggers and they brought your another 20 sales in Septemeber. The vendor’s commission is 50% so yours is 25% when the video is shown at Bubblesoft and 22.5 % for sales on third-party websites.
