Trade publication Founding Fuels offers an alternative to the subscription model
It’s common to come across articles online that provide insight into the business world, but that’s about it since you’re being asked to subscribe for an entire month to see more. Entrepreneurs seek detailed insights and reports, which add to their knowledge and provide essential information for effective decision-making. While that data is invaluable, Founding Fuels is a publication that now gives entrepreneurs access to in-depth stories through micropayments instead of paying in bulk for subscriptions.
Empower content creators
The publication has partnered with Fewcents, which is a platform designed to facilitate small payments for content creators to generate value for premium articles. While this may seem like a paywall for Founding Fuels, it will only be a small payout for select stories and will later include signature content such as Masterclasses. Indarjit Gupta, business journalist and co-founder of Founding Fuels, says, “This way, you don’t have to worry about spending money on expensive subscription packages for a while. You only pay a small amount for the stories you like.
Pay as you consume
With this new arrangement in place, people can just pay for what they consume and get items with extensive research for as little as Rs 250, instead of paying for everything for a month or a whole year. This will include byline articles with insights from business and political leaders as well as voices from academia and engaging podcasts. The integrated Fewcents wallet with hundreds of payment methods and over 80 currencies, can be set up in a minute right from its site’s content page. Once the portfolio is loaded, people can start choosing the items that meet their needs and satisfy their curiosity for ideas.
Democratized content
Fewcents co-founder Dushyant Khare adds, “The partnership democratizes access to high-quality content by allowing users to pay only for what they want to consume, while ensuring Founding Fuel has a sustainable model. “.
In addition to paying for premium content, readers can also bolster the work of Founding Fuels by adding contributions to a Tipjar at the bottom of articles, as they wish.
