And why this post is not locked

The internet is to be a universally accessible thing that is consistent everywhere in terms of its performance and how it works. At least, that would seem to make sense.

Today Fraxion Payments released its latest update, version 1.0.0, of its micropayments plugin, bringing in a true universal one-click login for locking content.

What this means to readers is that they don’t need to have an account for each and every Word Press site that uses Fraxion Payments. They can go from site to site to site, clicking and unlocking content as fast as they can read it. They only need to have a Fraxion Payments account, and away they go.

Yet another great use for Fraxion Payments has been discovered; short stories on mobile phones.

If you are a great writer, or perhaps not so great, you are bound to have some short stories floating about on your desk gathering dust, or on your computer merely taking up disc space.

With the publishing of the first entire novel on the Fraxion Payments system, it’s now easy for new authors to get published and earn money

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 29, 2010 — Fraxion Payments (www.fraxionpayments.com), the company behind the plugin that lets bloggers charge micropayments for their content, revealed today a new use for their system: the first publishing of an entire novel.

The whole idea of giving content away for free is flawed, just like the whole idea of Communism is flawed.

If “free with advertising” worked then Communism would also have worked.

This is a normal and healthy part of any software development; finding bugs and killing them.

Becoming a published author / writer is a process involving a lot of pain and with small chances of ever being successful.

It truly is a case of many are called but few are chosen.

Why bloggers get paid so little

Some years ago, before the internet, the mystique of the freelance journalist was romantic and captivating. Images of the writer with a half-burnt out cigarette in their mouth, glass of whiskey beside them, clankety typewriter and old brim-hat filed minds of people everywhere. These were emphasised by Hollywood’s depictions of journalists being sent to Tashkent or the Kazbah with all expenses paid and the best room on the ship, of course.

It’s true. We have proof. It’s been only one small week since we publicly released the plug-in and already we have thirteen registered sites.

Earlier we stated in our terms and conditions that the minimum royalty pay out would be US$200. It was purely a number we thought of as seemed as good a number as any. Plus we thought it would make sense in order to cover transaction fees.
