How It Works
Dream2Career, LLC deploys automated, targeted paid ad campaigns across major external traffic networks—including Google Search, YouTube, Meta (Facebook & Instagram), Pinterest, and curated lifestyle/travel platforms. Our system tracks conversions using a high-fidelity 30-day attribution window.
Performance-Based Pricing
This program is entirely risk-free. You pay absolutely nothing unless our ads explicitly finalize a ticket sale for you:
- Standard Tiers (Under $10,000 in Annual Platform Sales): You are assessed a 15.0% fee only on ad-driven sales. If you prefer to manage your own traffic, you retain total flexibility to opt out of offsite tracking at any time by emailing sales@d2ctix.com.
- High-Volume Tiers ($10,000+ in Annual Platform Sales): You receive a discounted 12.0% fee on ad-driven sales. Due to automated platform syndication and dedicated budget scaling, participation is mandatory at this volume.
💡 The 0% Direct Sales Guarantee: For any ticket sales driven by your own direct efforts—such as your personal social channels, website links, email newsletters, or organic D2CTix marketplace search bar traffic—the Offsite Ads fee is 0%.
Core Operational Fees Explained
1. The Listing Structure
Your chosen upfront tier fee addresses the database administrative infrastructure required to map, index, and secure your event profile within our searchable marketplace. One listing fee fully covers infinite customer capacities for that specific event container—you are never penalized or billed a listing fee per individual ticket seat. Standard pricing variations (such as General Admission, Student Discount, or VIP Access packages) built inside a single landing page are fully supported.
2. Marketplace Transaction Fee: 6.5%
D2CTix retains a baseline 6.5% transaction fee on the final cumulative checkout value collected from the customer. This supports our platform operations, active marketplace maintenance, server architecture, and customer service teams.
⚠️ Accounting Reminder: The 6.5% marketplace fee applies to the entire absolute cumulative total paid by the attendee. If you wrap required materials (such as workbooks, project tools, tasting ingredients, or merchandise) or regional sales taxes directly into the face value of the checkout ticket line item, the 6.5% fee calculates against that total.
3. Secure Processing Gateways: Passed to Customer
To insulate host margins, the payment processing gateway fees (3% + $0.25 per unique order) are automatically passed to the customer at checkout. This transactional fee covers financial encryption overhead across major international payment systems, credit card companies, mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and PayPal options. Because it is calculated per checkout transaction rather than per ticket item, a buyer purchasing 4 tickets at once only triggers a single $0.25 fixed fee line item.
Host Financial Clarity & Payouts
- Reliable Monthly Disbursals: Your net revenue disbursements are processed systematically on the 15th of the following month directly into your linked corporate account.
- 100% Tax-Deductible Operational Expenses: Every upfront plan fee, marketplace commission, or promotional ad fee paid to Dream2Career, LLC represents a verified cost of doing business. These platform fees should be 100% tax-deductible against your gross income. Please review your specific structural deductions with a certified regional accountant or tax professional.
- On-Demand Ledger Exports: Hosts can generate, view, and export clean financial ledger spreadsheets and comprehensive CSV data directly from their personalized vendor dashboard at the end of every fiscal quarter.
