Brokers can earn a 20% commission by selling domains on Atom.
Atom has launched its updated Cloud Broker program, which allows people to earn commissions for selling domains listed on the domain marketplace.
Brokers can obtain unique links for domains listed on Atom and earn 20% of the commission if someone clicks through the link to buy the domain.
To make it easier to find good domains to sell, brokers can sift through the inventory based on how many top level domains they are taken in, how many TLDs they are developed in, age, and other factors.
Only Premium domains and regular listings that have opted into expanded promotion are eligible for the program, and domain sellers must opt-in to make their domains eligible.
This is important because of the risks associated with having arms-length affiliates pitching your domain. Pitching it to someone with a trademark (whether registered or common law) could open domain sellers up to legal claims.
Atom notes:
Any outbounding activity carries a higher risk of potential Trademark/UDRP issues. If you’re concerned about such risks for your domains, you can exclude them from the Cloud Broker program. This program is best suited for domains without existing trademarks, which represents a large percentage of domains in our Brandable Marketplace.
I opted-in my domains into Atom’s cloud broker program. Why not? More exposure my domains receive the better IMO.
