IndieKarma Network Micropayments : Earn a Penny per Visit

IndieKarma Network lets your readers easily and seamlessly pay a penny for each visit to your site because they like your content.

Each indieKarma user seeds his or her account with a dollar. Each time they visit a site on the indieKarma Network, they debit their account one penny and credit the account of the website they are visiting. Although the penny seems a small amount, these small earnings can add up to a huge income and get you lots of extra money, if there are sufficient readers using the network.

When an independent web publisher signs up, you get to add a simple line of code on your web pages to be included in the indieKarma network. You can include your own content to the indieKarma dock (that identifies the site as part of the indieKarma Network) that will appear at the bottom of each page.

What is their commission? They take 25% of each penny.

Finally the success will depend on the number of active users in the network. Because bloggers would not be willing to put the obtrusive indieKarma dock at the bottom of all their pages if they do not earn sufficient money for it. And would your visitors be willing to donate you a penny at all. Kottke talks about more issues like traffic, variable payments, alternate payment methods, incorporate advertising etc. Anyway this is another service where micropayments can make you some extra money!
