Welcome to Notd, the innovative public network designed to help news publishers increase revenue from readers. Discover how Notd can revolutionize your publishing business.
Unlock New Revenue
Notd is a groundbreaking way to generate revenue by allowing publishers to offer new readers sectional subscriptions in specific content categories — such as sports, business, editorials, or local news. Each section can generate its own revenue and be a gateway to full subscriptions. Notd subscriptions can be as little as one cent or as high as the market will bear. Publishers have full control over pricing and keep 90% of the revenue. Yes, 90%.
Advantages Over Social Media
Notd empowers publishers to maintain control over their revenue, narrative, and context, ensuring they -- not the social networks -- reap the benefits.
While social media is effective for branding and expanding reach, it’s typically more of a cost center than a revenue generator. Links on social media that lead to full-subscription paywalls cause readers to drop off, and they're are harassed by clickbait and pop-up ads.
And when journalists publish work to their personal social media accounts, it’s the social platforms that profit most from the publisher’s content. We’ve all seen stories posted on social media spiral out of control, leading to public harassment of writers, misinformation and disinformation. In fact, journalists overwhelmingly believe that social media negatively impacts their industry.
On Notd, publishers retain full rights to their content without any contracts or obligations. Publishers can embed ads or sponsored content in their Notes if they choose, but Notd itself will never sell ads. The content is secure because AI bots cannot scrape Notd’s site.
Enhanced Reader Experience
Readers want trusted sources of news and information without requiring an all-or-nothing subscription. Notd’s content filter allows readers to find content by category, subject, format, or location, making it simpler than ever to engage with your material.
Using Notd is easy for readers because it functions like a blog: Publishers publish Notes (articles) on their Streams (channels). Content categories and posting frequency are completely up to the publisher.
Notd treats readers with the respect they deserve and incentivizes them to explore with a complimentary $3 credit from Transact, our payment processor.
