Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

WordSeed is the world’s first fully-automated sponsored content solution for brands. Using a network of premium publishers and content creators, WordSeed provides a scalable way to reach new customers, increase revenue and maximise ROI.

Sponsored content is a type of promotional media that's paid for by an advertiser, but created and shared by a publisher or content creator.

There are many reasons to use sponsored content, including:

• 70% of individuals learn about products through content rather than traditional advertising
• It helps to build long-term trust and therefore long-term customers
• It gets your brand in front of the right audience to grow your traffic without sacrificing quality
• It helps to reduce your reliance on cookie-based advertising
• Reduce Ad overload and reach your users through publishers they trust
• Improve your SEO rankings by securing high quality backlinks
• Increase purchase intent by 18%
• Benefit from a CTR of 40 times higher than display ads

We designed WordSeed to save brands time and resources while completely removing the legal, reporting and billing pain points usually associated with sponsored content. With that in mind, all brands need to do is login to the Brand Portal, set their monthly budget and cost per click (CPC) rate and let our advanced algorithm seed your message to the publishers most likely to drive the highest quality traffic and best possible ROI.

To go direct you need to find publishers, contact them, discuss terms, sign contracts, plan campaigns, record traffic accurately, measure performance and handle billing- for each publisher. At WordSeed, we take care of everything and negotiate the best rates with hundreds of publishers to enable you to grow your sales and maximise ROI.

When you agree to a fixed price for sponsored content you still have to pay even if the campaign doesn’t give you the results you were expecting. The payment isn't aligned with the campaign performance, which puts the advertiser at a disadvantage. WordSeed uses the cost per click (CPC) metric to track performance and because brands only pay for the traffic they receive, publishers are incentivised to create great editorial and make sure it gets the maximum exposure.

WordSeed is an invite-only sponsored content solution connecting high quality brands and premium publishers on a single platform. WordSeed provides publishers and content creators with the tools and software needed to monetise their content and get paid for every click.

Fill in the Publisher Application Form and one of the team will be in touch.

We only accept premium editorial publishers and social content creators. We don’t work with voucher code, cashback, loyalty or price comparison sites.

Yes, we also accept publishers using social media channels including Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

You can start promoting brands and earning money as soon as you have been accepted onto your first campaign.

No, there is no need to install anything on your site.

This varies from publisher to publisher, but there is no upper limit to the number of campaigns you can take part in so if your promotional activities perform well the monthly payments can be significant. Publishers have earned as much as £60,000 per month promoting WordSeed brands.

Good news! There is no cost to publishers at all. If you apply for and are accepted on a campaign offering a CPC of £0.75 and you drive 10,000 clicks in a month, we’ll pay you £7,500.

Once logged into the Publisher Platform, publishers can search and apply for brand campaigns, filtering by cost per click (CPC), monthly budget and sector, as needed. WordSeed’s algorithm automatically selects the most suitable publishers for each campaign and allocates the number of clicks to be achieved per month. The publisher then creates the editorial, adds the trackable links and generates revenue per click.

Put the any brand link into the ‘Target URL’ field and the system will create a trackable link. Copy the link and use it in editorial to get paid per click.

Editorial content often gets better as it ages so at WordSeed, brands sign ongoing monthly commitments so content created by publishers today could be still generating CPC revenue for months and potentially years to come. Currently, 91% of campaigns are over 1 year old.

Yes, and this can be a great strategy to increase the revenue generated by each article. For example, for editorial exploring ‘the latest summer-ready sneakers’ you could filter by sneakers, apply for 5 brands and include them all.

Yes, if an affiliate link is driving an earnings per click (EPC) of less than the cost per click (CPC) offered by a WordSeed brand then it may make sense to update the article to increase its earning potential.

When a campaign ends, a publisher can remove the content entirely if they wish, but it often makes more sense to simply update the content and links to continue earning from the article.

Press releases, high-res images and the latest brand news can be found within the Publisher Portal within the ‘Current’ campaigns tab.

All too often, payments to publishers can take weeks and months longer than they should. At WordSeed, publishers are paid on the 28th of every month. Guaranteed. We offer payments via BACS, international wire transfer or ACH.
