Similar to how Spotify works, you will earn Royalties from subscribers who save your recipes. 60% of each member/subscribers subscription revenue is dedicated to a payout pool where you will earn your proportionate share on a recurring basis (every month) based on the number of saved recipes from each subscriber.
You will also earn 75% of your recipes price on all a la carte sales to non-subscribers. We cover the payment processor fees and any other 3rd party fees.

Once your Dashboard reflects earnings of at least $50 you can click on the 'Redeem Earnings' button. Verify all the earnings are correct and add your PayPal email where we can electronically send your earnings. Payouts are typically processed at least once per week.
Our data is showing that when our Chefs share one of their recipes on social media they are seeing roughly 10% of their followers visit from their shared links. We've also noticed a stickiness factor from those visitors where they're clicking on other recipes from that Chef as well as others on Chefcipes.
Keep in mind that we are also driving traffic to Chefcipes through our own efforts but in order to maximize traffic to your particular recipes or profile our data suggests that sharing your pages on social media is most effective.
