Program Overview

The Bright Hub Shared Success Program is being introduced around the principle that empowerment economics benefit everyone in the value chain. The network effect is powerful, leveraging each other’s strengths and learning while keeping standards high and building traffic together. Through a community of expert writers, a channel gains a strength gathered around the goal of helping users find information they are looking for through search engines within a particular science and technology discipline.

Through meeting the needs of the search market, a channel can build a readership that comes back to the Bright Hub channel for great information again and again. The better the channel is at meeting the needs of the search market, the more revenue that channel will earn and share amongst its channel member network.
