How Publishing & Earnings Work on ShortNews365
A complete, transparent guide for independent, small, mid-size, and large publishers of Magazines, e-Newspapers, Current Affairs & Comics.
Introduction
ShortNews365 is more than a news-summary platform—it's also a powerful distribution and earning platform for publishers who create Magazines, e-Newspapers, Current Affairs booklets, and Comics (all genres).
Whether you're an independent creator, a retro comics publisher, a modern comics creator, a regional newspaper, or a professional magazine publisher, ShortNews365 gives you a fair, transparent, and predictable earning system.
You can earn through two revenue models:
SNP Model (Share-and-Pool Model)
Pay-Per-Cost Model (Fixed Price Model)
The SNP Model runs on three separate earning pools, designed and maintained by ShortNews365 for fairness:
Premium Pool → Earned from Premium Membership revenues
Ad Pool → Earned from Rewarded Ads (Watch-With-Ad content)
Free Pool → 5% allocated from both Premium + Ad pools combined for users accessing free trials or daily free reads
Both earning models come with benefits, dashboards, analytics, and full transparency.
⭐ Revenue Model 1: SNP Model (Share-and-Pool Model)
Under SNP, ShortNews365 divides revenue into three separate earning pools:
1. Premium Pool
Money collected from Premium Memberships is placed into this pool.
2. Ad Pool
Rewarded ads watched by users generate revenue that goes into this pool.
3. Free Pool
5% of both Premium Pool + Ad Pool combined is kept aside here.
This pool pays publishers when:
a user uses a 7-day free trial
a non-member opens 1 free content per day
any other promotional free access is used
Your earnings depend on:
Type of user (Premium, Non-Premium, Free-Trial)
Type of content (Premium, Watch-With-Ad)
Which pool applies (Premium, Ad, or Free)
Category Weight (Magazines, eNewspapers, Comics, Current Affairs)
Content View Count Share
📌 How the SNP Calculation Works (Simplified)
SNP Formula:
Publisher Earning = (Pool Amount × Category Weight × Publisher’s View Share)
📘 Category Weights (example values)
| Category | Weight |
|---|---|
| Magazine | 1.0 |
| e-Newspaper | 0.8 |
| Comics | 0.6 |
| Current Affairs | 0.5 |
(These are internal weightings to balance fairness across content types.)
📚 SNP Examples for Every Scenario
Below are simple real-world examples so any publisher can understand exactly how they earn.
Scenario 1: Non-Premium User → Watches Watch-With-Ad Content
Pool Used: Ad Pool
Example:
Total Ad Pool this month = ₹1,00,000
Category Weight for Comics = 0.6
Total “Watch-With-Ad” views in Comics = 200,000 views
Your Comic got 10,000 views
Your share: 10,000 / 200,000 = 5% share
Earning: ₹1,00,000 × 0.6 × 0.05 = ₹3,000
Scenario 2: Premium User → Reads Premium Content
Pool Used: Premium Pool
Example:
Premium Pool = ₹80,000
Your Magazine Weight = 1.0
Total Premium Magazine Views = 100,000
Your Magazine Views = 4,000
Your share: 4,000 / 100,000 = 4%
Earning: ₹80,000 × 1.0 × 0.04 = ₹3,200
Scenario 3: Free-Trial User → Reads Premium Content
Pool Used: Free Pool
Example:
Free Pool = ₹9,000
Weight for e-Newspaper = 0.8
Total Free e-Newspaper Views = 50,000
Your Newspaper got 5,000 views
Your share: 5,000 / 50,000 = 10%
Earning: ₹9,000 × 0.8 × 0.10 = ₹720
🔥 Scenario 4 (New Special Case): Premium User → Watches Watch-With-Ad Content
📌 Pool Used: Premium Pool (NOT Ad Pool)
Premium users do not watch ads.
So their contribution still comes from the Premium Pool, but with a reduced weight to keep fairness with both publishers & the Ad Pool.
Why reduced weight?
Because this content is primarily meant to be supported by ads.
Premium users skip ads → so the value for this view is naturally lower.
Example reduced weight (configurable):
👉 Weight for this scenario = 0.5 × category weight
Example:
Premium Pool = ₹80,000
Content Type = Watch-With-Ad Comic
Base Comic Weight = 0.6
Adjusted Weight for Premium Users = 0.6 × 0.5 = 0.3
Total Premium views (for this type) = 40,000
Your views = 2,000
Your share = 2,000 / 40,000 = 5%
Earning: ₹80,000 × 0.3 × 0.05 = ₹1,200
✔ Fair for premium users
✔ Fair for publishers
✔ No ad revenue misalignment
⭐ Revenue Model 2: Pay-Per-Cost (Fixed Price Model)
Some publishers prefer fixed pricing instead of pooled earnings.
How It Works
Publisher selects a fixed selling price from a dropdown
~25–30 standard price options available
Higher custom price (in ₹10–₹100 steps) can be approved on request
This avoids complex setup in Google Play Console
Ensures consistent pricing & easier management
