The Monetization Pane

The Monetization Pane lives in the Share Create page and is a set of factors that subscribing authors can add to a given share that require the end user to pay for access to the content. 

Monetization factors worth with other elements like security factors (geo, bio, time, etc) and controls (allow/deny, single access, no download) to create a powerful recipe for content control and maximum value when shared with peers, followers and fans across the Internet and social media.

The Monetization pane has 3 specific controls:

1) Monetize: set the share to be free, or for a fee to access, ranging from $0.99 to $9.99 USD.

2) Max Available: sets a level of scarcity for the share, ranging from none to thousands or millions based on the author's desire to limit the amount of monetized shares available. This can be used in combination with time or location (like releasing so many copies in Los Angeles or London) or simply limited access to a few copies for more intimate sharing and control. Authors can go back and edit and increase this value, but cannot decrease below existing successful user access. Deleting the value sets it back to unlimited (default). Users who access the limited share past the allowed amount will get an ACCESS DENIED message.

3) Save the settings to apply them to the share.
