With our Web-Monetized platform, you can earn tips and micropayments directly from readers, thanks to payment providers like Coil (now sunset).
Introducing an alternative business model, that keeps the Web open. Earn tips and micropayments based on the time readers spend on your work.
Web Monetization is a new system making it possible to reward creators, without gating work behind a paywall. Powered by payment providers like Coil, the goal is to facilite a fairer, ad-free, open web.
Readers shouldn’t have to stumble through paywalls and ads to read on the web. Web Monetization lets creators receive micropayments from web-monetized users visiting their work.
Web Monetization provides an alternative revenue stream that doesn't depend on invasive practices such as harvesting user data to sell targeted ads, like platforms such as Facebook.
Web Monetization is a proposed W3C standard that encourages fairer revenue models for the web.
It starts with payment providers such as Coil. Like Patreon supporters, readers contribute $5 a month to support a collective of websites - not just 1. Content creators receive micropayments at $0.36 per hour when a Coil member views their content. Readers also receive perks across all participating websites.
Coil is a Web Monetization provider that provides a way for members to access web monetized content. Coil subscribers on Prototypr get an Ad-free reading experience.
Coil was discontinued so this initiative is on hold. Learn more at Interledger.
