Nothing sits idle

How rates are set

Your audience sets your rate. Performance raises it.

Wellput prices placements on a dynamic CPC, so your rate is not a fixed number negotiated once. It moves with what your readers actually do. When your audience engages and converts, your CPC rises and you earn more from the same send. When engagement is weak, the rate reflects that.

Engaged audience
CPC rises
Weak engagement
CPC falls

This is why quality newsletters do better on Wellput than on networks that pay a flat rate regardless of engagement. Nobody is subsidizing underperforming newsletters, so the publishers who deliver real attention capture the value they create.

"There is a lot more variety and quality sponsors than other ad networks I've used in recent months. My newsletter is at the in between stage right now, at 26K subscribers, not large enough to command sizable direct deals but not so small that we'd risk burning our reputation with random affiliate offers. Wellput's variable CPC is perfect at this stage, as it rewards strong performance and helps me figure out which offers resonate best with my audience."

Questions

Publisher questions, answered

How do publishers get paid on Wellput? +
Publishers earn on a dynamic CPC basis, paid for the clicks their placements deliver. You reserve the campaigns you want from the portal, add the creative to your newsletter, and earn based on how those placements perform.
What size does my newsletter need to be? +
Wellput currently works with publishers running newsletters with 20,000 or more subscribers. If you are not there yet, join the waitlist and we will reach out when your list reaches that size.
Will Wellput undercut my direct sponsorship sales? +
No. Wellput is designed to fill unsold inventory with quality brands without competing with your direct deals. You choose which campaigns run and keep control of your newsletter and your audience.
How does dynamic CPC work for publishers? +
You earn per click rather than a flat fee, and the rate is dynamic rather than fixed. Wellput adjusts your CPC based on how your audience actually engages and converts. Newsletters with highly engaged audiences see their rates rise over time and earn more from the same send. Newsletters with weak engagement see rates fall. Your rate is set by your audience, not negotiated once up front.
Can my CPC rate go up over time? +
Yes. That is the point of the model. The best performing publishers get paid more. As your placements prove they drive real engagement and conversions, your rate rises, so the value you create comes back to you rather than being averaged away across the network.
