# Strategy Monetization

## Freedom To Monetize

Our company collaborates with strategy owners to determine an appropriate pricing model based on offerings and performance metrics. 

The strategies can also be designated as either "invite-only" or "affiliate link-only". Subscriptions to these strategies are billed monthly to users. 

Payment terms are established as "Net-30" unless otherwise specified and paid in CMFI or alternative payment methods.

## Available Monetization Methods

{% tab title="🔒 Invite Only" %}
{% hint style="info" %}
This system requires special permission from the team to access.
{% endhint %}

Mark strategy as "Invite Only" and manage subscriptions off the platform or through unique terms. The author must manage their subscriptions manually in this aspect. "Invite Only" strategies can also be utilized for requiring a subscriber to register under the attached referral link if an author wishes to monetize volume for a strategy instead of monthly subscriptions. Referral-based volume monetization is always marked on the terms of that specific exchange and may differ dependent on exchange referral systems. 
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Our current payment system is non-recurring, users buy an allotment of time at once and can choose to renew and add more credits at any time. We feel this way is more transparent and helps to cut down on monthly charges and unused products. Strategy authors can provide discounts to prompt users to buy multiple-month credit allotments in one purchase.
{% endhint %}

## Referral System

Utilize our referral system to augment your revenue streams as a strategy author. By referring users, you are entitled to an additional 5-10% of monthly subscription revenue from all purchases made by the referred user, including subscriptions and feature purchases. Additionally, you can still collect referral revenue even if the referred user subscribes to a verified trading bot created by another author. Our referral system operates on a lifetime basis, enabling you to continuously collect referral revenue as long as the referred user remains active on our platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
The referral system is only applicable to purchases made with PayPal or USDC and does not currently carry over to the 100% CMFI payouts.
