01 What are the realization methods of the trading platform?
Let’s think about a classic question first: Is it better for Didi to take a profit directly from the transaction or to directly charge the driver membership fee?
Think for 10s and give your answer.
But no matter what your answer is, make it clear that this is not an either-or problem. In theory, as long as the platform is awesome, you can do both to harvest leeks.
So a better question than this one is: Which deals are better for cutting leeks?
It's a question of how the platform is commercialized. Doing business is not shabby.
This article first talks about common sense (what monetization methods are available), then talks about logic (which monetization method to choose), and finally reaches common sense + logic = rational thinking.
There are 3 categories of common monetization methods on general platforms (this is common sense):
1. Advertising
Advertising monetization is the most common and easiest way to monetize.
There are four common roles: advertiser, media, advertiser and audience. Common charging methods: pay per impression, pay per click, pay per action such as registration.
As long as the platform traffic has a certain scale, advertisers will take the initiative to come to the door, and traffic is really expensive now.
Take Alimama (Alibaba's advertising exchange platform) as an example to see its fancy way of advertising.
