We believe that the business model of the Web is broken. Both ads and site-by-site subscriptions work best at scale which has contributed to an overall trend of consolidation into a few, huge platforms. The Web that many of us love and grew up with - a Web of millions of sites run by millions of independent operators - is dying. We also believe that we have a solution in front of us. Web Monetization is a new way for websites to make money. It’s an open standard and isn’t tied to any one service or crypto-token. It’s user-friendly: users can get Web Monetization access from any provider and enjoy Web Monetization-enabled content from all over the Web. It’s also creator-friendly: It’s easy to make your site Web Monetization-enabled and money simply streams into your account (or any other account you designate) when Web Monetization enabled users access your content.

What is Coil?
There are 2 sides of Coil to consider: The viewer (consumer) and the provider (content creator)
As a consumer: You visit a web site to view it’s content, this could be a Blog site such as Coils own Blog platform at coil.com/explore or News outlet, web based training, tutorial site amongst many others. You can do all this with a single pay monthly subscription, currently $5 per month. This avoids having to pay and track dozens of individual site memberships, avoids tracking logins, changing payment details etc and avoids paying a monthly subscription to content you may not even visit once a month!
As a Provider: Your focus is on providing content for the consumer, there is no distraction with user membership support, forgotten logins, failed payments etc. You create the content and enabled Coil Web Monetization usually with a simple Java script added to your site/page.
Coil pay monthly subscribers are expected to grow rapidly as more content providers move over to Coil Web Monetization, content providers will grow rapidly as Coil subscribers increase, and so the cycle continues!
Content providers should consider the following: For each consumer who subscribes a thousand will click on ‘close window’! Now consider if the thousand small payments (micro payments) add up to more than the single subscriber, you win!
Content consumers should also consider the following: You only pay for what you consume, maybe you read a page of an article and realise its not relevant to you, you close the window and payments stop.
Its a Win – Win!
RECENTLY ADDED:
Game creators have recognised the simplicity in adding Coil into their pay as you play games, see the new section for Summer.io Browser based Games Developers Hub at the bottom of this page, and play.
When creating content on a Web Monetised site you have two options, you could use a total block on a page so only subscribers can see the content, or, use a 80/20 Rule.
A total block will immediately push consumers away from your content if they are not subscribed, with the 80/20 Rule non paying consumers are kept engaged hopefully to a point they then want to view the restricted content, they click the conveniently placed Coil sign up link and everyone is a winner.
Below you will find scripts you can simply copy and edit for your content, they control page links, picture viewing, video links, text display etc etc. All very easy to incorporate into your own site or blog.
Go Compare!
This video will explain all the examples on this page with a side by side comparison with a Coil enabled browser and a browser which is not Coil enabled.
