Today is an important day for all NING - the beta phase of our monetization feature has finished and it goes live! We are thankful to everyone, who has tried the feature, tested it and told us about everything that was good and that was not. Thanks to you we have improved monetization feature a lot and now are ready to present it to everyone.
From today any creator can start using the feature, by clicking on the Monetization icon (after Content Management) in the Setting of the network (upper left corner).
By the way, if you have not heard about it - here you can read everything https://www.ning.com/monetization/
So, let’s start monetizing networks!
If you have already used the feature - tell us what you think about it.
If you have questions - ask us!

Hi there!
I understand your concern, however, we have hired a separate team to work on e-commerce feature only and all other features/bug fixes are being held by the main team of developers/admins/project managers. Also, we haven't stopped working or postponed any of our goals for the sake of the monetization feature.
I won't deny that most of the recent updates were related to the e-commerce, but such drastic development of this feature is dictated by the high number of requests not only from the prospective customers but also from our current Network Creators. And it sounds reasonable since most of the people want to gain some profit from something, to where they invest so much of their own time/effort/money. We, as a platform, want to offer different solutions for all types of sites. Starting from the donation campaigns to gather funds for maintaining the site (which is totally optional and a common practice) to the paid membership for private clubs or pay-to-access option for online courses/DIY guides/etc.
According to our statistics, this is one of the top-requested features, and we hope that everyone can find it useful in one way or another.
Best regards,
The NING Team
Agree I stopped promoting my site the main functions they are forever putting on hold for this monetized thing
Okay, I have been very quiet about this invasion of monetisation, even though in response to repeated enquiries from Ning personnel about how would I like my site to be monetised. I said I never intend to monetise my site. So, I have patiently ignored how when making every new post one now has to scroll down past all the whited out monetisation functions - even though people wonder what it is. But now quite by chance I hover my mouse over a group in the groups panel and the words ''Buy Access to this Group'' appear. I mean...what the hell!? This is NOT what I want associated with my site AT ALL> I do not want donations, money, monetisation etc etc AT ALL and to have that appear is really not nice if people are visiting. Please stop this
Hello!
We apologize a lot for such misunderstanding. ''Buy Access to this Group'' tooltip for all groups was not implemented intentionally, it is supposed to show up only if the group content is hidden behind the paywall. Since you do not have paid groups on your site it is clearly a bug and I have already passed it to the developers. We will remove this tooltip as soon as we can and I will let you know here in comments once it is done.
Please, accept our apologies for the inconveniences.
Best regards,
The NING Team
Dear Ning Team, This bug is still present, almost 3 weeks later. Any update? Thanks.
Hello there!
I am sorry that it takes so much time, but as far as I see, our developers have already come up with a solution, and right now the fix is being code-reviewed and tested in the sandbox. If everything ok the fix for the live networks should be released in the nearest future.
Thank you for your patience!
Best regards,
The NING Team
Ooooooh, I see it's fixed. Thank you!! :)
Hello!
You have noticed it even before I`ve got the notification about the fix! I am glad that the issue is resolved :)
Best regards,
The NING Team
Wonderful :)
