I would absolutely pay someone to make this happen for my site. If someone is capable of accomplishing this please let me know right away. Or, if this is already in the works please let me know right away.
FOR CLARIFICATION:
I would like it so that a UsersWP or just a GD user or a GD user as a CPT “listing” can create a
listing for a business in a different CPT
Then when that business claims the listing they are forced to upgrade it.
Then the affiliate that created the listing gets residual Commission from that subscription.
The affiliate code could be something the affiliate promotes on their listing, business cards or other marketing collateral. So, the business could create the listing from scratch independent of the affiliate and just enter the affiliate’s code.
Ideally this would be a GD plugin independent of a third party. The affiliate would just need to enter their paypal email and have an affiliate code generated. Affiliates would be paid right when the subscription payment is made.
In the backend I, as admin, would set the commission amount, be able to manually add or correct an affiliate code, and maybe even see a report of what’s going on.
(optional) If an affiliate started a listing then the listing for the business is associated with that affiliate code which would just automatically be there making it a seamless process for the affiliate and The Business (This isn’t necessary though, the affiliate could just enter their code manually as the business would do).
(optional) There could even be some sort of option where the affiliate offers a free month if the business uses their code. This would give the business incentive to use the affiliate code.
The ability for affiliates to receive residual commission from subscriptions would inspire people all around the world top use the site because it would employ them! This would in turn exponentially populate the site making this GD project a successful one.
Of course, this could tie nicely into UsersWP where a UsersWP/Affiliate’s listings can be displayed (already a feature I think), the user/affiliate can also “blog” through the front end to do more and add value to the site (something I’ve been told is in the works), and their affiliate code can be displayed.
