Yeep !

I created a page to present what is the Web Monetization.

Awesome Web Monetization — A repository for centralized all cool projects

🕶️ Stuffs about Web Monetization. Packages, articles, documentation links and others tools.

Web Monetization is a web service that allows you to send money directly in your browser.

This is becoming more and more used on the Internet. Interesting for people to turn to a new payment method for websites such as blogs, videos, newsletters or shared photos whether it is monetized according to the time spent reading/watching. And all this natively on your computer.¹

If you want more about the Web Monetization, motivation to publish that, know payments/wallets providers and more, you can check WebMonetization.org, the official website .

But you know already what is WM no? This page detected you have got Coil or other payment providers.

I write free and paid articles for various companies.

That's great, how did you get opportunity to write paid articles ?

I was just writing lots of articles and publishing them on DEV, Hashnode and Medium. Also I was sharing the content on Twitter and LinkedIn. So thats quite a lot of platforms for my content to get noticed.

And then I was getting messages and emails from various companies who were telling me that they had seen and read some of my articles and thought they were great. And suggested a collaboration or guest writer appearance. So these companies contacted me I am yet to reach out to any companies regarding writing roles 😅
