A new publishing platform is bringing with it a new way to monetize content.
According to Journalism.co.uk, Niuzly is allowing contributors to charge individual readers directly to read their work.
“The first thing you can do is publish to the audience, because who knows you as a writer? Your friends, your family. People have hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter and Facebook. Does it not make sense to publish to the audience first? Those are the ones that want to hear from you,” Niuzly’s Paul Dinulescu told Journalism.co.uk. “The biggest goal is to educate readers everywhere that it takes money, it takes time, it takes effort to produce content and if those people don’t get paid they will stop doing it.”
The articles are priced inexpensively – at five, 10, 20, or 30 cents – with the writers themselves setting the amount. Readers have access to the first paragraph, and then, if they opt to read on, remit through PayPal.
