Why do we ask you to sell premade covers exclusively on CAM?
a) Trust and Exclusivity. At CAM, every premade cover is sold only once—guaranteed. This clear promise builds buyer confidence and drives more sales across the platform, benefiting all designers. Unlike other sites that confuse buyers with extra fees to “make exclusive” or “remove from catalog,” CAM keeps it simple and honest—no gimmicks, no surprises. By asking designers to sell their premade covers exclusively on CAM, we ensure this promise is upheld.
b) We invest in your success. CAM spends tens of thousands promoting you and your designs, offers a high 80% commission rate, pays within 1–7 days of each sale, and covers all payment processing fees—typically 3% on both the sale and the payout. We also provide real human support when you need it. In return, we ask for your commitment to sell your premade covers exclusively through CAM.
c) Stronger together. By bringing designers together on one platform, we amplify exposure, attract more customers, and benefit all designers.
Why do I see a discount on a cover sold that I did not request?
The CAM Platform offers a one-time discount to new customers, mailing list subscribers, and during limited-time events. This strategy aims to boost cover art sales by providing a discount on the first order, encouraging new artists to try CAM.
A large portion of our sales comes from repeat customers, making it advantageous for everyone to attract new buyers. Offering a discount on first orders helps encourage more people to try us out and increases the chances they’ll become loyal customers. This strategy has become a common practice in e-commerce!
