Another monetizing, but a a bit different
In quite a few of my recent post I did mention that blogosphere is changing in lightening speed, so is the business models surrounding it. A Massachusetts based organization “Lisensa” come up with a business platform that allows bloggers to define the terms of use for commercial republishing of their RSS feeds. You can say another form of your RSS Feed monetizing, but in this case through sharing/selling your RSS content not just showing ads.
Lisensa let blogger choose among the Creative Commons Licenses, further allows to add commercial uses policy and assign a fee to purchase the right to republish the work. Lisensa is free to use, but when someone purchase/subscribe to your work 10% of the fees will be deducted as service charge to marketing your content. Though currently they are limited to Blog and RSS/ATOM, they have plans to extend their program to other digital contents like-Picture, Video etc.
I know the question that bang in your head first time you read this, because its banging in my head too. Question is “Who is gonna buy”? well seriously I don’t know, Blogosphere is full of quality contents that uses creative commons license 2.5 (That allow free to use commercially and non-commercially), then why someone would buy content? Problem is on the web you never know what will worth few million bucks next day, especially in this web 2.0 era everything comes around blogosphere got boomed. When I used YouTube, I never thought that someone will buy it in that price. Soon some entrepreneur will come up with some impressive idea to use this and collect some serious cash, trust me on that. am sure a lot of prying eyes are on this one, by this time.
