It's that simple. Your users notice no visible changes. When a paying member visits your page, you'll get a microcredit.
At the end of the month all user's microcredits get converted into micropayments—in proportion to the amount of time they spent consuming your content.
Producer Payment = My micropayments + ( global traffic % * free member pool)
consumers pay a fixed amount for an all access pass
Consumers pay a fixed amount. For that fixed amount, they have access to everything within our infrastructure. There's no guessing about how much your bill will be, it's always the same.
where does the money go?
A consumer's fixed payment gets broken up into two parts. 10% is set aside for the "free pool". The remaining gets credited to producer sites at the end of the month in proportion to the amount of time you spend on their website. As an example, if a consumer spends half of his time reading the wikipedia, the wikipedia would get a $4.50 credit at the end of the month. The wikipedia does not have to restrict access to any of its content— it only has to embed our blip on its pages so we can record the access.
what's the free pool?
The free pool is a way to provide an economic incentive for content producers to keep as much of their content freely accessible as possible. Some content is special, and deserves to be restricted, but most content is best free. But even freely accessible content can earn revenue.
how do you count the time consumers spend on a site?
We break the month up into six minute intervals. One hit counts the same as a thousand within the same interval. This should make it harder to game the system, and really reward sites you return to again and again throughout the day.
how does in-a-moon make money?
It's true, we have to make money too! We charge our producers 15% of their earnings. In the start, we charge a sign up fee of half of the first month's payment—$5. We are doing our best to keep costs low, and hope to adjust this in the future as we better understand how our infrastructure is utilized. Because the system is a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, we're allowing the first 10,000 consumers free access.
