A new website is aiming to change the way internet advertising revenue is distributed by giving a large slice back to the people who generate it -- the users. Ownmysite.com (http://www.ownmysite.com) promises to return 50% of all revenue generated through advertising and affiliate links to its members. What's more, users will also own a permanent stake in the website and will share 50% of the proceeds from any future sale or acquisition of the site.
Daniel Harrison, from London, England set up ownmysite.com after becoming frustrated with the way many popular websites generate huge profits from the everyday online activities of users
without rewarding them for what is a very valuable activity.
Despite ownmysite.com having only been online for 20 days, Harrison says that users have already generated 1500 between them, 50% of which will be returned to members at the end of
August. Even the most passive users are set to receive a minimum payout in August of over 2 whilst the most active will earn over 30.
Harrison, 32, commented, "The initial reaction to the website has been extremely positive with a large number of users signing up after hearing about the site simply through word of
mouth."
Harrison, says that members will own a stake in the website proportional to the amount they use it, which encourages members to make the site their homepage.
"The site sells itself," Harrison commented, "in that web users are paid for their everyday internet usage and share directly in the success of ownmysite.com."
He believes that the combination of a monthly income for users and the chance to share in the future profits of an online enterprise offers surfers an opportunity that is too good to
miss. "For doing nothing more than surfing the web in their usual way, users have the chance to own a stake in my site and share in the profits on a monthly basis," Harrison explained.
Asked how he sees the future of ownmysite.com Harrison said, "The sky's the limit but in the short term I'm really looking forward to paying members at the end of August to reward them
for their faith in the site and to show them that their time spent surfing the web with ownmysite.com is genuinely worth something. I think members will be pleasantly surprised by how
much they can earn."
Ownmysite.com offers a comprehensive directory of some of the web's most popular retailers. Users are rewarded for searching or shopping at a host of well known brands including Amazon,
Marks and Spencer, Tesco and John Lewis. The shopping experience and prices are the same as going to the retailer directly, but by going through ownmysite.com up to 20% of the purchase
price is returned back to members.
