Does the designer of the file get a commission when I download the file with my premium membership?
I think you have to print the file for the designer to receive payment, but I am not certain.
Thx, dklgood,
Does anyone know how much the designer gets if I print it from my free premium membership download?
Also - does any one what percentage commission does the designer get if someone buys it without premium? Do the designer get a flat rate from GF or a commission per sale of the file.
Thx,
Cindi
I think that would be a question for GlowForge staff (and they do not monitor these forums consistently anymore.)
I don’t think they have released the details of how that works.
If you need to know, contact support would be my suggestion.
Thx
The Designers only gets paid for the number of times a design is actually printed – just downloading it doesn’t count, nor does Free with Premium vs paid make a difference.
The amount is not a simple X cents per print. Glowforge uses the same model for calculating royalties as Spotify, in that the total number of times a design is printed each month is compared to the most-printed design for the same month, and paid that same percentage of the amount the top item for the month. For example, if a design’s performance index for the month is 4% and the top design paid out $100, that design would get $4.00. The big unknown is how much the top producer is paid month-to-month – it’s not a constant amount, so 4% this month could be more or less that 4% next month.
I can’t speak for any of the other designers, but I feel the compensation is appropriate, especially since I don’t have to do the marketing or customer support for any of my designs.
That is so cool!! I just now noticed the sort by designer. I need to get on it. I’ve submitted almost 100, but I see I only have 64 up.
I agree!
I knew you had to have a lot in there…but I had no idea. I’m impressed. It’s a lot of work prepping and submitting. Nice side income for you!
Thx so much!
Wait a minute… you need to check to see what’s going on because using that filter, I have more than you! (That can’t be right.) Did you ever use any other name?
I think it’s correct. The last time i checked, you were at 62 and i was at 64. And that was before when you couldn’t find your newly published stuff. I’ve got a ton submitted but not accepted yet, but I’m sure you’ve surpassed me now
Well wow, that just doesn’t seem possible!
I’m sure you’ll surpass me once they accept all yours. I only have a handful of designs submitted recently that are waiting now.
You’re going to hit your goal!
