Hi @manfred_jr, Thanks for showing interest in our project. Regarding the monetisation question, authors have the control to publish any article as paid or free article. Let me explain a bit more on it.
1. Here in the below screenshot, you can see any author has the control to publish their content as both paid or free content. If they want to make it a pay to read article, they can set some amount of trx that users will need to pay to read this article. This amount gets transferred to the authors wallet after every successfull purchase by any reader
2. Moving to the readers side, any reader can visit the thought profile of any author and can consume their paid/free content. Below we have shown the thought profile page of a sample author. On the profile page you can see all the paid/free content the author has published. Also for paid content you can see how many people have paid for ( claimed ) that content.
3. This is a sample free to read content. You can see “Read for free” tag as well.
4. This is a sample paid content. To read any paid content the readers first need to login using their wallet.
5. After successful login, the platform checks whether the reader have already claimed this article before or not. If yes, he can directly read the content, if not they will need to pay the required trx to read that article, as shown in the below screenshot.
6. After successful purchase, the reader wll be able to read the article and the article will get marked as collected article.
