The Opportunity is exposed to publishers who are looking for sponsors and willing to put an ad at the beginning of their videos.

The Opportunity you create tells the publishers what kind of video or channel you are willing to sponsor. You can require the channel to talk about technology, or you may want the video to contain a scene of a car chase; the possibilities are up to your imagination.

With Videorix it's easy to find advertisers willing to pay for a little spot at the beginning of your videos. Search throught a list of Opportunities, grab a sponsor's ad image and put it at the beginning of your video, get your video approved, and get paid. It's easy, it's simple.

You keep control of who sponsors your videos. You get paid for each video in which you insert an ad.

They believe this pricing equilibrium will generate more sales for sellers and better values for buyers. Fididel is also a place that adds entertainment to the buying process. Try Fididel today and have some fun finding your favorite products at great prices! The Fididel platform is a new technology that addresses a big market niche.

How It Works:

When you register as a seller you will notice on the bar on top and words that say “you are offline.” This means that you not receive any negotiations. If you want to receive a negotiation you must click on the “you are offline.” This will change your status to “you are online” and now you can receive negotiations for your products.

Fidideler is someone who negotiates for the sellers. They bargain with a buyer based on the pricing information the seller has specified for the product. Once the buyer has accepted the price, the Fidideler has just earned a commission, their role is done and they can go back to whatever online activity they were doing before.
