Why WeeFee?

There is no easy way to pay digital content creators directly. Current means to award cash distributions directly to a writer, blogger or videographers requires either locked-in membership / subscription (Youtube, Medium), a Patreon account or a PayPal account. And “mini/micro” payments are not possible (less than $1).

Yet, there are billions of content providers who produce quality, imbursement worthy content. These creators are locked out of the Content Economy.

What is WeeFee?

WeeFee allows consumers of content to post small increments of payment to the managed accounts of content creators. Providers of content host WeeFee API script logic which allows consumers of content to send cash increments through the WeeFee platform.

Both consumers and providers of content are required to be registered as WeeFee account holders.
