Saleh Mubashar Invoking Uchi Uchibeke to dig deeper with you here with regards possible options...

Desigan Chinniah My question is that are there any other wallets like uphold or gatehub?

Hi Saleh Mubashar, currently Uphold and Gatehub are supported. But there is an opportunity for more wallets in the coming months with the new Rafiki Project which will enable more Wallets to be built. Please, follow along in the Interledger Forum to stay up to date with new Wallet development and launches

They can co-exist.

The future application of web monetization is vast, I see it in native and desktop apps. However it's safe to say, if the content has a url, it can be monetized right now. And in this case, a website a good way to put it. Now let's think about the tons of contents that can be on a website. Games, Musics, Podcasts, Live streams, Pictures, Gifs, Programs, Softwares, etc.

Hi, really nice questions and I can't stop thinking about number 3.

1. Using the meta tags seems like the direct way of using web monetization, however they are other way ( Still similar tho) If you're on a WordPress website, then you can just install a plugin. There's a whole setup in React, Angular, Vue and Gatsby also.

2. The best person to help me answer this is my brother Catalin Pit He did make a tweet about this which I'm having trouble searching for. He's far more of a content creator than I am.

3. A 1 horse sized duck would be my best bet.

Hello Edidiong Asikpo

Below are some of the benefits:

1. You get to make the experience of users on your blog better, and faster.
2. You're being considerate about the users who consume the contents you provide.
3. Targeted ads have been proven to used private user information, you would be saving your audience from this.
4. Also, web monetization cuts across borders, as supposed to ads that are limited based on the geographical location of the audience.

It's likely not an and/or choice, Edidiong Asikpo. Web Monetization plays just as nicely alongside ads if need be. However, you may consider other factors:

• a better user experience for your audience
• a faster and more performant website leading to less calls to ad networks and more
• a more privacy centric approach without tracking codes and pixels. See Doubling Down on Privacy

The whole Idea of Web monetization itself is a proposed solution to the broken revenue model of the web. So I'd say it's a model that provides an effective solution to the disadvantages of other models.

Akintunde Sultan oh! This is beautiful.

Hello Shermim Matunda I totally understand how overwhelming new technologies can be at times, that's why I'm going to share this world class top secret shortcut.

1. Create an account on Uphold
2. Get your payment pointer.
3. Put the web monetization meta tag on your website and add your payment pointer. <meta name="monetization" content=" add your payment pointer">.

That's all. I'd be glad to answer more questions.

I guess I can call it a web app.

Yes web monetization is available on other platform and very well used on your personal blog, video, podcasts and so on.

Well, it's not impossible, however, you do not want to give out goods for free to people using web monetization. You can however offer perks like voucher and discounts. That'd be great.

Hi Subha Chanda As my good brother Catalin Pit would say, It's never too early to start creating contents. " He doesn't actually say it like this tho, but something similar"

It's the right time to start monetizing if you've started creating contents. It's never too early.

Web monetization does not need an Adsense approval. This is the best bet.

The whole concept behind web monetization is "Users seamlessly paying creators for accessing their contents online, in the easies way possible" Creators can web monetize their content if they own the platform they're distributing it on, or if the platform they're using supports web monetizaton. Example, Hashnode is a platform, and it supports web monetization, so i you have a blog on hashnode, you can web monetize it.

Basically once you have a content, and a distibuting channel ( Youtube, twitch, personal webiste). You can start using web monetization.

Web monetization is supported on the popular browsers, however, in app browsers are an entirely different case, because you can't store sessions, login or register on them, they are not applicable.

Yes, it has a lot of positive effects. Few of these are: Saves users time and no need for unnecessary click baits and They do not need to worry about currency conversion rate of the creator's region

Yes, it's completely safe to use.

Yes you can. You can completely use web monetization on you personal website.

You make money in real time once users who are using web monetiation visit your contents. Money would be transferred directly to your payment pointer ( Like a wallet address).

It is too early to say, the ads industry is a 300billion dollars /year market. However, web monetization is providing a solution to all the disadvantages of the ads model.

Hi Yarcxx Hassan The procedure here is handled by Coil. The work of Coil can be seen as that of a provider. So a user registers on Coil with a monthly payment of $5. You can look at this like you're putting $5 into your Coil wallet. Then for every web monetized content you consume as a user, money would be removed directly from your wallet to the Creator.

The great thing about this is that, Coil has made it known that, irrespective of the tons of contents a user consumes monthly, the $5 would spread across it all. So you don't have to worry about ever finishing your subscription for the month.

As a software developer, You can build and sell products. That's one effective way to make money.

The future of web monetization is wide and vast. It's a whole industry which I can't seem to place very well in a single comment. However, if you would like to know a certain/particular part, or you have certain concerns, I'd be glad to share my views on them.

Hi francis xavier Great question. It's web monetization because we all want to generate revenue or would want to at one point or the other. in 3 years time, I believe the whole idea of web monetization would be well understood and fully adopted.
