Revenue #1 Ad Revenue Sharing
Advertising Fees
The average advertising fees in mobile apps can vary widely based on the industry, the type of ads (e.g., banner, interstitial, video), and the geographical location of the users. Cost Per Mille (CPM), Cost Per Click (CPC), and Cost Per Action (CPA) are common models.
CPM (Cost Per Mille): The advertiser pays per 1000 ad impressions.
CPC (Cost Per Click): The advertiser pays each time a user clicks on the ad.
CPA (Cost Per Action): The advertiser pays for a specific action, such as a purchase or a sign-up.
TG Games will commonly use a CPM model, which is common for in-game advertising. The average CPM can range from $1 to $10, with an average of $5 for our calculation.

Points System
The points system needs to be balanced so that it's attractive for users to interact with ads but also sustainable for TG Games' economy. A user earns an average of 10 points for each ad interaction.
User Interaction with Ads
For each interaction with an ad, the user gains points. TG Games earns $2.5 per 1000 impressions, and a user earns 10 points per interaction, we need to define how many impressions equal an interaction. Let's say it takes 10 impressions for a meaningful interaction (which is high for user engagement). This means for every 1000 impressions, there are 100 interactions, and TG Games earns $2.5.
Points Model:
Ad Revenue per 1000 Impressions (CPM): $5
App's Share: 50% = $2.5
Points per Interaction: 10 points
Conversion Rate: 100 points = $1
Calculations:
For Ad Interactions:
Every 10 impressions = 1 interaction = 10 points.
Every 1000 impressions = 100 interactions = 1000 points.
App's revenue for 1000 impressions = $2.5.
Points equivalent to app's revenue = 1000 points = $10 (since TG Games retains 50% of the ad revenue).
