You won’t just be partnering with us, but with the entire network. iJobid.com acts like a hub for service providers to connect with service buyers. Projects that get posted on xyz.com, get posted on iJobid.com and all other sites on the network that are part of that category. You get credit for Projects that are posted on your marketplace and you get credit when one of your user’s gets awarded that project.
iJobid.com is a commissioned base marketplace. When a project is posted and subsequently awarded, the two major parts of the transaction are complete, and the service provider pays a commission upon being paid for the job. Payment is based on these two parts and is 25% for each part. If your site produces both the buyer and the seller that means 50% of the final commission for the project is yours. Its a Partnership.
We use a tiered commission structure that diminishes as the contract award gets higher. The maximum commission to be paid depends on the category and can be either $500 or $200. The fees are roughly 5% of final value for the contract. See Fees for more information.
That means when a $10,000 or higher contract is awarded a $500 CDN commission is generated and your potential profit is $250.00.
Currently, your website needs to be powered by Joomla! 1.53. Then you must Register Here. This will register you as the administrator of your marketplace @ iJobid and let you access your user profile and iJobid account (this is where all of your earnings are tracked). This process will give you your iJobid.com CMI API Key and CMI Secret. You need these two pieces of identification for your new marketplace to work. You can then download the Joomla! Component and install it on your web server, and configure your marketplace
Can I change the way my Marketplace looks?...
Yes. We have included a *.css file called styles/extrastyle.css that loads into your Joomla! document. This is where you can override our styling rules. We have configured the system to uptake certain Joomla! 1.53 styling rules automatically, but you can apply your own styling to the class throughout the system.
What about my User’s asking questions?...
Users have access to the iJobid Knowledgebase (which will be part of your site). Also part of your marketplace configuration tasks includes setting up a marketplace email that you will automatically forward to us, letting us handle any questions that come in. Then there is the iJobid Forum, which all your users have access to (through your website) to ask questions.
Have More Questions?...or Want to Make a Suggestions?
You can do it all in the Client Marketplace Forum!
