## Description

Exodox is a unique service for anyone publishing on the web and gives you the opportunity
to make money from your web content. Using the Exodox plugin you can lock selected
posts and pages on your WordPress site, which your readers can then unlock with 
a one-off payment. You decide which links you want to lock and to which price. Every
month your money is paid out to you.

**A complement to adverts, collaborations and subscriptions**

Exodox offers a new source of income for anyone who publishes on the web:

 * Bloggers can get paid for their creativity as a complement to advertising and
   sponsorship.
 * News sites and magazines can attract new customers as an alternative to subscriptions.
 * Non-profit sites and associations can offer optional ways to donate by offering
   access to select content such as interviews, meetings, video and competitions
   among other things.

With Exodox, your consumers and followers have the opportunity to show appreciation
for your commitment, giving you an added motivation to create more content. The 
possibilities are endless!

**One-off payments without the need for subscription**

With an Exodox account, it’s easy and quick to pay for access to your exclusive 
web content. There are no subscriptions, fixed fees, startup fees or binding periods.
If you do not use the Exodox service, no costs are incurred.

**A recent survey showed that 75% who encounter a so-called payment wall with the
requirement to start a subscription have left the page. Had they instead been given
the opportunity to make a fair one-off payment, 73% would have chosen this.**

**You decide!**

You decide which posts and pages you want to lock, the price and how long your readers
can have access for. Your readers only pay for the specific links they choose to
unlock.

**Only one account needed**

Exodox works much like a global transaction platform. The big advantage is that 
you only need one account, which gives you the opportunity to access content from
all connected internet media and websites globally, such as newspapers, magazines,
fan sites, blogs and more.

**Free of charge and free of risk**

An Exodox account is completely free of charge and without any binding period. In
other words, you pay no running costs and nothing for your account. As a publisher
this means that your use of Exodox is completely risk-free. If you, for some reason
do not sell, there is no financial loss either.
