What Is Assisted Purchase and How It Works
We place your guest post on the publisher you pick for the price we promise, or you get a full refund to your original form of payment.
FatGrid shows you all marketplace offers for every publisher in our database. But placing orders across dozens of marketplaces can easily become a full-time job.
It's no secret that the order delivery success rate varies a lot. It is about 30% on the least reliable marketplaces, which are usually the cheapest, and 75-80% on the most reliable ones, which are usually more expensive.
Why ordering on marketplaces is hard
You can't know in advance which price and which offer is real. So orders take a long time, and many of them get canceled.
Besides the wasted time, your money gets stuck on marketplace balances, because most marketplaces don't make refunds. And many people simply don't want to enter their card details on a dozen different sites.
Many FatGrid users were annoyed by money stuck on multiple accounts. That's why we introduced Assisted Purchase.
How Assisted Purchase works
We will place your guest post on the publisher you select, for the price we promise. Or you get a full refund to your original form of payment.
The price you see already includes our service, publisher and marketplace fees. You provide the content, and all payments go through FatGrid.
We check that your content meets the publisher's rules. If minor edits fix it and you allow them, we make them for you. You decide this with one checkbox when you order:
If your order fails on one marketplace, we try another one.
If a cheaper marketplace fails to deliver your order, we will find the real price and offer it to you. You can accept the new price, or cancel the whole order and again get a full refund.
We work with all the marketplaces in our database every day. A balance left on a marketplace account is not a big deal for us, because we quickly reuse it for another user's order.
How to place an order
Find a publisher, open its offers and click Buy on the Assisted Purchase row. On rosario3.com, for example, marketplace offers run from $226 to $769, and Assisted Purchase is $294.
Add a Google Doc with your article, shared as "anyone with the link", and pay by card.
You can follow your order in My Orders. If something needs your decision, we will message you in FatGrid.
