Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Welcome to our FAQ page! Here you’ll find answers to common questions about our branded social shopping and recipe experience.
1. What is a Branded Social Shopping and Recipe Hub?
A branded social shopping and recipe hub is a personalized website where influencers can showcase all their recipes and product recommendations in one place. It allows followers to easily browse recipes and shop for ingredients with a single click, thanks to Instacart integration. This hub not only enriches the user experience but also opens up a new revenue stream for influencers through affiliate sales.
2. How does it benefit influencers?
Influencers gain multiple benefits:
- Increased Revenue
Through affiliate commissions on product recommendations and ingredient sales.
- Engagement
Followers can share feedback, leave reviews, and interact with the community.
- No Cost, No Risk
The hub is built at no financial cost to the influencer, with a revenue-sharing model that adds a new income stream without affecting existing ones.
3. How does the revenue-sharing model work?
The revenue from the branded social shopping and recipe hub is shared between the influencer, their agency (if applicable), and LuxitaSolutions, which manages the social shop. The terms are pre-agreed to ensure fair distribution based on the value and efforts contributed by each party. Revenue comes from several streams, including affiliate commissions, crypto rewards, and sponsored rewards.
4. What exactly is the Web3 part of this platform?
Web3 transforms a traditional static website into an interactive, community-driven experience. Your followers don’t just view your recipes; they can interact by sharing feedback, leaving reviews, and posting their versions of your dishes. Web3 also offers added benefits like:
- Decentralization
Your content is stored securely on the Hive blockchain, giving you full control over your posts and connections, ensuring they are permanent and cannot be deleted by any third party.
- Community Engagement
Followers can actively participate in discussions, share their experiences, add recipes and products to their own profiles and even earn rewards for doing so.
5. How does the crypto rewards system work?
When your followers engage with your content (by posting reviews or sharing their cooking experiences), they can earn crypto rewards. These rewards are powered by Hive, a decentralized blockchain. Influencers receive a share of the rewards generated by this engagement, providing an additional income stream. No need to fund these rewards—it’s all handled by the blockchain!
6. How are affiliate commissions processed?
Affiliate commissions are tracked through unique affiliate codes. These codes are rotated to ensure the agreed revenue distribution between the influencer, their agency (if applicable), and LuxitaSolutions. Commissions are deposited directly into the influencer's account, offering full control over their earnings, with no intermediaries.
7. How does the distribution of crypto revenue work?
Crypto earnings are transparent and easy to track. All revenue—whether from affiliate sales or engagement rewards—is stored in a public Hive account. Influencers can see every transaction and receive their share of the earnings directly in WAIV tokens, HIVE, or HBD (a stablecoin pegged to the USD). These tokens can be easily converted into major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, offering complete flexibility.
8. Who controls the influencer’s Hive account?
The influencer has full ownership of their Hive account. When the account is set up, the influencer receives the Owner Key, which grants complete control. LuxitaSolutions manages day-to-day operations, such as posting content and moderating the community, but the influencer can take full control of the account at any time by changing the private keys.
9. How is the performance of the social shopping experience monitored?
Influencers can track the performance of their hub using tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console. These tools provide valuable insights into traffic, user engagement, and how well the content is performing in search rankings. This data helps influencers understand how their platform is growing and how effectively their audience is interacting with their content.
