**Overview of Web Monetization**

Web Monetization and the Passion economy are in their infancy stage. Only a few content creators know about its existence.
Website monetization is the process of making revenue from the traffic coming to the website, having website monetization enabled. It is also a means of bypassing all required conditions or policies before being able to earn money from your website, blog post, or article, and from all kinds of content creation, you may ever think of or doing at the moment. 

In other words, payments are automatically sent to the payment pointer while a user spends time on the website.

**Web Monetization:**

1. Allow the browsers to pay sites in real-time.
2. It is a proposed web standard.
3. It essentially uses, an inter-ledger that has Intelligent infrastructure.
4. Interledger allows the browser to send very small amounts of money efficiently (which I can call micro money).
5. It creates a browser interface that enables every browser or a user that is browsing the web to pay for all the websites they are visiting.
6. Users or browsers pay some micro amount of money to the Site, the contents Creator in real-time.

2. __Add A [Web Monetization] (https://webmonetization.org/) Tag:__ It is a payment pointer in front of the HTTP URL you get from your Wallet provider, the dollar sign is there to make it more recognizable as something related to Interledger, you can just think of it as a sort email address for money. It is a place where anyone and everyone can send Interledger payment. The payment pointer is actually referenced by the SPSP Standard which is an application layer protocol.

[Interledger](https://interledger.org/) is an open protocol suite for sending payments across different ledgers. Like the Internet, connectors route packets of money across independent networks. The open architecture and minimal protocol enable interoperability for any value transfer system.
 Therefore it is important to note Interledger is not tied to a single company, blockchain, or currency.
