# Coil Web Monetization

Source: https://support.exposure.co/en/articles/4291773-coil-web-monetization/

Web Monetization is an open technology that allows someone viewing a webpage to stream very small payments (micropayments) to the page’s creator in real time.

With this feature, visitors who have a [coil.com membership](<https://coil.com/>) can stream payments to you as they spend time on your Exposure sites and stories.

You must sign up for a digital wallet provider that supports the Interledger protocol (ILP) to then cashout your payments. Learn more about that [here.](<https://help.coil.com/accounts/creator-accounts>)

This is a very new technology for the web but is picking up wider adoption. As adoption grows the amounts you can earn will increase.

Like Coil puts it. _“Our monetization model offers an alternative to the status quo of paid advertisements and selling the public’s attention to the highest bidders – A solution that will serve the people who aren’t being served well today.”_

## **3 - Finding your Payment Point**

To start receiving payments you will need your Payment Point Address, this can be found in the “Content=” part of the Meta tag on your screen. Copy just that part, for example, “$coil.xrptipbot.com/Y\_pdz6ihT\_S\_IiNVXYbKmA”.

From there head to the Monetization section of your Exposure settings.
