1) Followers

A good quantity of followers are the main component of any social media page. And in the eyes of advertisers, a good quantity of engagement (likes, comments, shares, saves) from those followers is good quality followers. Both the quantity of followers, and their engagement, increases the cost to advertise on Real Social pages. More ad revenue means more charity given. To increase the quantity of followers on Real Social pages, one should follow those pages and then get as many people as possible to do the same.

2) CLMP

Click the link, make a purchase. Every ad (post) on Real Social pages usually has a link in the post description (or comments) to go to the advertiser’s site and from there make a purchase. When purchases are made from these links, Real Social gets a nice percentage of the profit from those purchases, and 100% of our profit from that share gets zipped straight to charity. These links can also be accessed from the Real Plaza.

3) Real Inc. Purchases

Ads don’t just popularize the products being advertised, they also popularize Real Inc. as a whole, and Real Inc. doesn’t just include Real Social, but also the Real Store & the Real Plaza. When purchases are made anywhere in Real Inc., more charity is given, 100% of the profit from every single purchase made. Currently in the Real Store, you can even choose how that profit is donated, just click on a product and see for yourself.

So as not to overburden our followers while also maximizing the amount of charity we can give we will generally not post more than 5 ads per day. In the near future we plan to have multiple pages per platform for those who desire to give more to charity and can tolerate more ads.

When we get our first advertiser. That can be as soon as 10,000 followers or as far as 100,000 followers and up.

Through our Advertise page.

Whenever we mention 100% of profit donated, we’re referring to net profit. Net-profit is the money left over from total revenue after running and growing Real Inc.. Instead of this leftover money going to our owner (as it would in a typical for-profit business) 100% of it goes to charity instead.

More broadly, we define ad revenue as all the revenue that comes by way of the ads, this directly includes the upfront cost to advertise, affiliate revenue from ads that have affiliate links tied to them, and revenue from Real Inc. products advertised on Real Social. Indirectly, this includes any sales made in the Real Store or from the Real Plaza (excluding products advertised directly on Real Social pages), from the awareness of Real Inc. that Real Social ads generated. These are indirect revenue streams because they are not directly tied to the ads themselves but rather to the awareness they generate, nor can they be tied to the ads as it’s nearly impossible to know which ads raised the awareness that caused certain purchases.
