Get paid for the content you publish online.
Turn your online content & intellectual capital into a decentralized media property which we’ll help you monetize.
Can I use my existing website?
In short, yes.
However, we currently only integrate with WordPress websites. More integrations are planned, but there is no set timeline for those additional integrations at this moment. We do however have a robust API. If you are interested in a custom integration with your website and have developer resources, please reach out.
That being said, you DO NOT need a website to use ray.do.
Currently you have the option of integrating our platform with an existing WordPress website, build a new WordPress website using our tools on your own domain, or just use our publishing platform and network home page as your base of operations.
Stay tuned for updates on further integrations.

How do I get paid?
Our platform adds a “follow” and “support” button to each of your posts and allows you to interact with and engage your audience in a number of ways.
The follow button: adds the user to your email newsletter and allows them to customize their notification settings, subscription frequency and categories of interest. This puts the end user in complete control of the amount of content they receive from you, but also makes sure 100% of your audience sees your top posts.
The support button: allows people to support you in three different ways.
- With a one time donation
- With a recurring monthly donation
- With a predetermined donation for each post you make
This means the end user has complete control of what day of the month the payments come out or how many posts they pay you for each month. This makes it easy for your audience to support you financially when they appreciate your work, and also empowers you to own the web property on which you publish. All you have to do is create great content and share it with your online fans.
We also regularly highlight and promote top content from across the network to help you reach a larger audience and find new supporters.
How do I make payments?
All you need to do to make payments in ray.do is add money to your wallet. You can do that from the wallet tab on your profile page, or any time you click a support button.
Your ray.do account must be in good standing in order to access the funds in your wallet.

How much does it cost?
If you don’t make money, neither do we. If you drive any revenue through our online publishing tools, then we’ll keep 5% of every payment you receive through the network. This helps us fund, maintain, and grow the platform.
Processing fees (credit card/bank fees) can average 3-5% on top of our cut.
There is also an additional .25 cent fee for each withdraw from your account.
This means creators keep 90-93% of every dollar earned on our platform.
There are a number of business and enterprise level features which we will be releasing over the next 12 months. Pricing for those features has not been set.
What do I get?
You get access to a growing suite of online publishing tools that are designed to help you grow your online brand and monetize your digital influence. These include email marketing tools, collaborative blogging tools, search engine optimization tools, and social commenting tools which can be used publicly, or as a closed communication channel with your private network.

Why should I join?
Because making money online is harder than it has to be.
Because it’s time we started eliminating the middlemen in media and empowering industry experts and the people who are actually doing the work all around us to step up and become credible first person reporters.
This means that bloggers can easily turn their blogs into online businesses, financial analysts can monetize their social commentary, and artists can monetize the content they’ve been giving away for free up until now. Essentially anyone who offers value to the world through the work they do online can use our software to grow their digital brand, engage a larger audience, and monetize their online influence.
So… The question you should be asking is… What are you waiting for?
Who owns the content?
You retain the rights and earning potential of the content you publish on our network. We will however highlight and promote top content across our network (assuming your posts are made public) in an attempt to help you gain visibility and drive online contributions.
We are working on a number of website integrations, and other tools which will actually allow you to use ray.do to boost your search visibility and monetize an existing web presence.
Join our beta today as an early adopter and help us shape the future of the software.
What’s different?
As a new media startup, we understand how difficult it is to get your online presence polished up and ready for prime time. Social media is easy to use, but you don’t own any of the content. You’d build a website but you just don’t know how, or have the time.
That’s where we come in.
We are essentially a “media company as a service” framework for businesses and organizations who understand the value of owning their online infrastructure.
We make it easy for users to create, share and distribute online content at scale while allowing them to own and monetize any activity generated by their network. Not only that, but users can walk away with a fully functional WordPress website as an end product simply by using our platform as a simple online publishing tool.
That also means that the only thing you have to do to start earning equity is use our tools to build your online brand. As you invest in yourself and grow your online brand, you’ll actually be investing in the long term financial stability of the overall network. As the network matures, so will your stake in the company and ownership in a web asset you own.
