Cheaper Sticky Threads

[West]

hello mcm

So we all know sticky threads are pretty costly to some "people". And not a lot of people buy them.

I think under certain topics that sticky threads should Cost less like under "accounts" and under "melicous services" this would aid people in being able to offered them and earn mc-market some extra profit. Now I'm not saying make sticky threads cheap under "graphics" or "servers" or stuff like that just underneath the topics that get less viewers.

Ajdin what do you think of this?

17 is quite a ok account to me

But yes, overall I do agree, pricing should be section specific. This is planned for the future.
I made it so that it collets statistics now per section. From there, I'll modify the pricing.

If you can't afford $7.5 per week (it gets cheaper in bulk orders) to advertise your service.. you shouldn't even be doing that service since it clearly isn't bringing in profit lol.

You need to understand that on topics that don't get a lot of visits they should be cheaper just so mc-market actually gets people buying them.[DOUBLEPOST=1459696885][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yes 17 is good but you probaly wouldn't mind having 30 or 40 active to make a couple extra $.

+1 - they are expensive for what they are especially on a weekly basis.

I do agree with this because some areas get a lot more traffic than other areas so the price should be different.

-1 I agree with Zap.

I once had a sticky in the OG accounts section(Ordered 1 week but was only up for 4 days because accounts started getting locked). I made about $50 by spending $7.50 on advertising. You make back what you spend.

Hi there everyone,

I have to agree with this suggestion. The sticky threads used to be $7.50/week but have gone up to $10/week. I've been paying practically every week for my sticky thread (except this week due to so many orders already). I feel the right to say that $10 is just a little bit too pricy for the sticky thread. I would like to see it back down to $7.50. It's a choice totally up to BeBosny but that's just my personal opinion. I'll probably be paying for it anyways as long as it doesn't go up anymore than it already has.

Best regards,

Senior Pablo i like how you disagree because you are butt hurt about how you are exit scamming and got scammed.

For builds, the price is fine, since a single build can get you multiple week's worth of profit. For graphics, I could understand you'd want a lower price, maybe $5 per week, or even $3.
ofc you shouldn't sticky a thread of you can only make a few bucks in a week with it.

My suggestion would be to create a lot of premade content to sell on a sticky thread alongside your service. get maximum value out of it.
A great example was Seb's selling of cheap nonexclusive mines. idk how many people ended up buying them, but he spent multiple weeks stickied, and I think he made quite some profit. no idea how this would work for other sections, but thats your expertise

The prices shouldn't be depending on the service, they should be depending on the traffic it gets.

on the traffic the section gets. yeah, that sounds about right. say the build section gets 1000 views in a week, but graphics gets only 500.
There should be a base price of $2-3 or so that you always pay for a sticky regardless of traffic, then an added price per amount of traffic it generally sees.

The problem with making things that cheap is that a lot of people will buy the sticky. It's currently limited at 5 stickies/section.

It's the simple concept of price elasticity of demand.

But that's profit for you? So your saying making extra profit isn't something you want?

If the slots for stickies are constantly occupied, that would be a problem as well. Especially since it might end up being only, say, $2 per slot.
What's more profitable, 2 sticky threads for 7.50 or 5 sticky threads for $3? Oh wait, they're both worth the same. But with the 7.50 there's space for more profit.
So the point here is, its not about the profit. its about what is practical.

I don't really think that's true, even if it was, it's not all about money.

This doesn't mean I disagree. I think it indeed isn't fair that for example hosting companies pay $10/sticky and people who buy a sticky in the advertising section also pay $10 while the advertising section gets much less traffic.

The addon we're using for advertisements right now doesn't really support any of this however I'll get in touch with the developer to see if he can implement anything like this.
