Abstract

Techniques for resource allocation with content creators are described that overcome the challenges of conventional techniques by supporting customized digital content generation and resource allocation specified by content creators of digital content. In one example, a content provider system, based on user input received via a control, specifies the portions of a resource allocation to be shared. A first portion is configured to be shared with a content creator of digital content, the digital content including service access data configured to access a digital service. A second portion is also configured to be shared with a client device that utilizes the service access data to access the digital service. Digital content is generated based on the specified portions and is transmitted. Upon access by the client device to the digital service, an indication of receipt of the first portion of the resource allocation is displayed by the content provider system.

Claims (42)

1. A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:

displaying, by a content provider system implemented by the computing device, a user interface indicating a resource allocation made available by a service provider system as part of accessing a digital service and a control, the control configured to receive a user input to specify:

a first portion of the resource allocation to be shared with a content creator of digital content that includes service access data configured to access the digital service; and

a second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with a client device that utilizes the service access data to access the service provider system;

receiving, by the content provider system implemented by the computing device, the user input via the user interface specifying the first portion and the second portion to be shared, respectively, with the content creator and the client device;

generating, by the content provider system implemented by the computing device, digital content that includes service access data and a display of the second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the client device, in which the service access data includes code configured to be automatically stored as a cookie at the client device, in which the code identifies the content creator of the digital content;

transmitting, by the content provider system implemented by the computing device, the digital content as having the service access data; and

displaying, by the content provider system implemented by the computing device, an indication of receipt of the first portion of the resource allocation received in response to access by the client device to the digital service.

2. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the service access data includes a link to a network address, via which, the digital service is made available.

3. The method as described in claim 2 , wherein the service access data includes digital marketing content that is selectable to cause the client device to access the network address.

4. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the digital service is configured to receive user inputs supporting conversion of a good or service.

5. The method as described in claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the computing device, the service access data from the service provider system.

6. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the code is configured to cause the first portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the content creator and the second portion of the resource allocation with the client device that utilizes the service access data to access the service provider system.

7. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the control is a slider control and the digital content is a webpage or a social media post.

8. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the resource allocation is a base profit rate and the second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the client device is a coupon.

9. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the generating of the digital content includes receiving user input selecting at least one template of a plurality of templates usable to configure the service access data as part of the digital content.

10. A system comprising:

a content manager module implemented at least partially in hardware of a computing device to display a user interface indicating a resource allocation made available by a service provider system as part of accessing a digital service and a control, the control configured to receive a user input to specify:

a first portion of the resource allocation to be shared with a content creator of digital content that includes service access data configured to access the digital service; and

a second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with a client device that utilizes the service access data to access the service provider system; and

a resource sharing module implemented at least partially in the hardware of the computing device to:

receive the user input via the user interface specifying the first portion and the second portion to be shared, respectively, with the content creator and the client device;

generate digital content that includes the service access data and a display of the second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the client device, in which the service access data includes code configured to be automatically stored as a cookie at the client device, in which the code identifies the content creator of the digital content;

transmit the digital content as having the service access data; and

display an indication of receipt of the first portion of the resource allocation received in response to access by the client device to the digital service.

11. The system as described in claim 10 , wherein the service access data includes a link to a network address, via which, the digital service is made available.

12. The system as described in claim 11 , wherein the service access data includes digital marketing content that is selectable to cause the client device to access the network address.

13. The system as described in claim 10 , wherein the digital service is configured to receive user inputs supporting conversion of a good or service.

14. The system as described in claim 10 , further comprising receiving, by the computing device, the service access data from the service provider system.

15. The system as described in claim 10 wherein the code is configured to cause the first portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the content creator and the second portion of the resource allocation with the client device that utilizes the service access data to access the service provider system.

16. The system as described in claim 10 , wherein the control is a slider control and the digital content is a webpage or a social media post.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored that, responsive to execution by one or more processors, performs operations comprising:

displaying a user interface indicating a resource allocation made available by a service provider system as part of accessing a digital service and a control, the control configured to receive a user input to specify:

a first portion of the resource allocation to be shared with a content creator of digital content that includes service access data configured to access the digital service; and

a second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with a client device that utilizes the service access data to access the service provider system;

receiving the user input via the user interface specifying the first portion and the second portion to be shared, respectively, with the content creator and the client device;

generating digital content that includes the service access data and a display of the second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the client device, in which the service access data includes code configured to be automatically stored as a cookie at the client device, in which the code identifies the content creator of the digital content;

transmitting the digital content as having the service access data; and

displaying an indication of receipt of the first portion of the resource allocation received in response to access by the client device to the digital service.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as described in claim 17 , wherein the first portion of the resource allocation is a base profit rate and the second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the client device is a coupon.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as described in claim 17 , wherein the code is configured to cause the first portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the content creator and the second portion of the resource allocation with the client device that utilizes the service access data to access the service provider system.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as described in claim 17 , wherein the control is a slider control and the digital content is a webpage or a social media post.
