Before you start
- You need permission to manage the site.
- Paid features, like the paywall, must be added to your site first. The page tells you which one is missing: "To use this you need the add-on "{feature}" first." See your plan on keynate.com.
Steps
- Open Settings → Readers & money → How your site makes money.
- Pick one card:
- Free with ads: everything is free to read. You earn from adverts.
- Metered (a few free stories): readers get some free stories each month, then are asked to subscribe.
- Free plus paid stories: most stories are free. Selected stories are for members only.
- Members only: readers must be paying members.
- Donations and support: everything is free. Readers can support you with a gift.
- Read What readers see and Needs.
- The page says "Saved."
Good to know
- This sets what your public site shows. Which stories are locked or paid is still decided by your paid features on the server.
- If your current choice needs an add-on that is no longer active, parts of it are switched off.
- You can change your choice later.
