Everything about selling online content

We are actively monitoring the 'Should everything on the Internet be free or not?' discussion.

On this Squidoo page, we will keep you up to date with the most interesting articles. Of course, we also have some ideas ourselves.

Our view 

Why online content can be sold? Here are some reasons.

- The free philosophy is based on the idea that somewhere at the end of the line, you are going to sell something. This can be premium content just as well.

- Micropayments are becoming more popular. And with the Oronjo wallet, buying is much easier than searching.

- Today, people more often buy digital goods. Such as iTunes music, H&M clothing in the Sims game, or Radiohead's latest album In Rainbows.

- Google Adwords doesn't work so well for smaller, specialized sites. However, it's harder to get a free version of specialized content than of popular music, so buying this kind of content makes more sense.

- With Oronjo, you can now sell content to raise money for charity.

- Many people are starting to hate advertising more than paying a small fee.

- People who like your work won't mind supporting you a little.

SELL YOUR CONTENT ON YOUR OWN SITE

The Internet is radically changing the content industry. Leading musicians such as Radiohead are skipping over distributors to sell their content directly to their fans. Oronjo makes it easier for smaller parties to follow their example. Now you can cut out the middleman and sell your content directly to your audience.

With Oronjo you can sell articles on your weblog; chapters of your novel; your best MP3 mixes; your thesis; Hi-res versions of your photos; or your homemade movies.

o No need for a secure section on your site.
o No PayPal or Checkout account needed.
o Our service is 100% free
o You can still offer other content for free.
o Every sale is processed automatically
o You can use our handy Wordpress plugin

We host your secure content. This can be any type of file.

We also have a special feature for selling a weblog article or web page: we host the secure part of your weblog article or webpage completely according to your normal designs, with any updates included. So visitors experience your secure page as any other.

Whichever content you choose, you only have to add on a few HTML lines.
