Live from Gnomedex. Edgeio is announcing a new way of integrating paid content into any web site – edgeio paid content.

Edgeio is basically enabling publishers to become a sales point for any paid content. It supports all types of digital content – video, audio, files for download, plain text, tickets and more. Now these publishers can now distribute their content, and receive payment, without locking it up behind a subscription wall.

The platform opens up peer to peer commerce, allowing enthusiasts to become a point of sale for items they choose to write about.

Paid Content

* Digital content packaged, purchased and delivered to the consumer

* Buy and view-in-place lets you monetize your digital content

* Differentiate between old fashioned classifieds and new transactional classifieds

* Transactional classifieds can be distributed to every website that wants to become a point of sale

* Carry a payload of paid content

* Complete purchase in a single process

* Distribute content through the network

Benefits for Content Creators

* Reduce steps to purchase

* Increase visibility and exposure – your listings can be distributed to any website

* Escape constraints of a single storefront

* Create stickiness – keep readers on your site

See edgeio’s blog for more details.
