Paywall Integration
Increase your Free-Premium-Conversion
The paywall integration is a premium feature with additional fees and is only available on enterprise plans.
BotTalk was created with publishers' needs in mind. Monetizing your audio content is done quickly with a couple of clicks.
Here is how BotTalk Audio Paywall works:
- 1.A non-subscriber visits a webpage with premium content
- 2.BotTalk player plays only a short preview of the audio article (the publisher decides how long)
- 3.BotTalk then plays a Call to Action (also defined by the publisher)
Those paywall options are configurable in a simple user interface.
Paywall Settings - BotTalk Audio CMS
Check Enable Paywall to activate this feature.
Decide how long the preview text should be in the Free paragraphs field.
BotTalk considers any sentence ending with the new line a paragraph.
Call to action: choose the text that will appeal to your readers and convert them to paying customers. You can also include instructions on how to become a subscriber.
Add a jingle: by using the SSML tag <audio src="URL"/> you can add a jingle before, in the middle or after the CTA. Just paste the tag in the selected position in the CTA field and replace the URL with the jingle URL.
BotTalk Audio Paywall is a premium feature and works only in combination with BotTalk Web Player.
