Out of the thousands of people we are reaching out to, we are focused on only signing up maybe two dozen ‘Founding Partners’. To be considered a Founding Partner, a partner must get to 30 paid placements and commit to 11 placements per month. Founding partners receive additional placements for their own use as well as extra FLAG tokens. Founding partners also are eligible for the lead generation program. To understand the value and importance of the Founding Partner program, let’s look at Beth… Beth is the owner of a regional marketing/branding/pr agency. On average, her company has 25 active clients, sometimes more, sometimes less. Beth was accepted as a Flag Media Founding Partner and in a given month, she has only 10 of her clients having feature articles published. Five of the clients will each do 1 article placement per week and 5 clients will each do 2 article placements per week – for a total of 60 placements per month across Beth’s entire client base. Using the example of 60 placements per month, Beth charges her clients only $230 per placement. She will earn approximately $4,800 in partner fees from the placements. She will also be awarded 600 FLAG tokens (10 per paid placement), valued at just over $12,000 total. In addition, as a Founding Partner, Beth was awarded 1,000 FLAG tokens valued at $21,000. Beth will also earn 6 free placements per month (1 for every 10 paid client placements – valued at $900) that she can use to run articles for her own agency. Beth’s company will be featured in the partner marquee on the Flag Media website and her company will also be promoted on Flag’s social accounts. As a Founding Partner, if Flag Media receives a direct client inquiry, Beth is now eligible to be given that inquiry as a new client lead and manage the placement process for that client and receive all of the benefit associated with it as if it were her client all along (Flag Media does not take direct clients). All of this was free and easy for Beth to sign up and a very simple message for her and her team to present to their clients as an exciting new solution for exposure, credibility, and promotion.
