We have started a new project, Paygo Media, focused on trying to help publishers of all sizes better monetize their content. I fear that the world of paywalled content and subscription-everything is not scalable and leads to the Truth being paywalled and Lies being free.

I believe that consumers and publishers are better served by giving choice - some content should be free or ad supported, the most engaged users should subscribe but the mass of users in between should still get access to the content but at a price per read, not for free.

We have integrated with Ghost so that now super easy to add a[Tipping function](https://paygo.ghost.io/the-press-and-the-party-of-no/)or a[Subscription/Pay-per-read paywall](https://paygo.ghost.io/thank-you-teachers/) to Ghost free newsletters. Exposing free users to the premium content they are missing but only enabling them to read the first few paragraphs and then subscribe or pay a price set by the creator to read this one article.

We are looking for some early creators to test our the functionality. You can do it yourself [here](http://paygo.ghost.io/add-tipping-to-ghost/) for tipping but we would love to chat with you and help

Ping us at thoughts@paygo.media to learn more.

Do you have an article, like the Tipping function article, that describes how one would ad a pay-per-read paywall? The example page looks great, but I would like to see how setup looks too. Thanks.
