How Does Mobipium Work?
For users, Mobipium appears to work much in the same way the other affiliate networking platforms do.

How is Mobipium Different From Other Affiliate Networks?
Mobipium is a performance-based marketing network that specializes in mobile content/MVAS. Not sure what those terms mean? Let’s look closer.
Performance-based marketing refers to digital marketing where advertisers pay when certain results are achieved.
Mobile marketing is marketing that takes advantage of all mobile channels.
mVas generally refers to mobile content offers, including both one-time and recurring subscription offers. Music, gaming, and online storage are examples of this type of offer.
In the case of Mobipium, the performance-based marketing value proposition is focused on designing their offering to “filter traffic until we reach our targets on CTL, billing and cancelation rates.” (CTL refers to customer lifetime value.)
The mobile content/MVAS (mobile value added service) part of their value proposition is reflected in the fact that they allow advertisers to promote their mVAS/carrier billing verticals and accept SMS traffic from affiliates, which isn’t often the case with affiliate marketing networks.

The sign up requirements for Mobipium are different for advertisers and affiliates. Both users and affiliates start at www.mobipium.com.
