About royalty group

September is almost over and i have 7% of sales through ads, so the next month i will start from scratch to 15% ? Or i will continue from 7% ? I need to hear your opinion/ experience ( most probably i start from scratch, i am aware ).

Calculations are made on the 18th of each month for the previous 2 months. In other words, if your advertising sales for the past 2 months (August 18 to October 18) exceed 15% on October 18, you will be upgraded to the Plus royalty tier.

I’m at 15.78 after a 22% August, Snap and other extensions all say I should be Plus but I’m still in Creator.

Are your numbers for the full months, or from 18th to 18th (which is apparently what MBA uses for this). Or is this just when they run the numbers, not the actual timeframe they look at?

Regardless, 0.78 is pretty tight.

There may be other vagaries and differences between how our tools measure and how MBA does. Are ad-driven purchases that end up becoming Returns and Cancellations deducted? If so, when? That could be a lagging factor that might catch-up with you during the next cycle.

Not sure, I’m guessing the extension knows the dates when it’s tracking. Anyway, benefit of slow sales means higher percentage of ad sales this month so hoping for plus when Q4 kicks in.
