Content Creator Profit Share

What This Recipe Does

This recipe creates a monthly performance-weighted distributor that splits a portion of your store’s revenue among blog content creators. Each collaborator’s share of the pool is proportional to the traffic their bound posts generated during the distribution period. A writer whose posts attracted 60% of total tracked visits receives 60% of the pool.

The distributor runs on a monthly cycle, calculating scores and distributing funds on the first day of each month. This gives content creators a predictable, recurring income stream tied directly to the value their writing delivers.

Who It’s For

• Multi-author WordPress sites that publish content from several writers and want to reward them based on actual readership
• WooCommerce store owners who rely on blog content to drive product sales and want writers invested in performance
• Content teams and editorial managers looking for a transparent, automated way to split revenue without manual calculations

How It Works

When you apply this recipe, Siren creates a distributor shell configured for monthly, performance-weighted payouts. The distributor uses the performanceSharedPool resolver, which divides the pool proportionally based on each collaborator’s engagement score. Collaborators who drive more traffic earn a larger share.

After applying the recipe, you need to configure three things in your Siren admin. First, set the metric tracking event to boundPostUsed, which fires each time a visitor reads a blog post bound to a collaborator. Each visit adds points to that collaborator’s score. Second, set the revenue percentage that defines the pool size. For content-driven stores, 15-25% of qualifying revenue is a common starting range. Third, configure the commission pool filters to specify which transaction types count toward the pool.

Once configured, the system runs automatically. Siren tracks blog post visits throughout the month, tallies each collaborator’s score, and on the first of the following month, distributes the accumulated pool proportionally. No manual intervention is needed after the initial setup.
