====== Monetize ======
This page provides Greenstone users' suggestions on ways to monetize your
Greenstone collection.

=====By referral=====

//Amazon.com// integration can be a nice revenue stream, generating 20% returns on every sale made through a link from your site.  [[http://www.koha.org|Koha]] is an ILS system that can import CDS/ISIS format exported from Greenstone.

=====In House sales=====

Sometimes downloading huge files, especially if there are many of them, can be a hassle.  Providing duplication services can help both the library and the end-user.  CD / DVD duplication using the Greenstone export to CD function can be a great way to publicize your library as well as make some money on the side.  Creating a versatile structure to support this feature is lacking from the end-user end, however it can be done with a versed librarian behind the wheel of the collections

=====Out source sales=====

Sometimes media, such as posters, maps, videos, and even complete books can be integrated with websites like [[http://www.allposters.com|Allposters.com]] and [[http://www.zazzle.com|Zazzle.com]] to create a high-end product.  Libraries can sell directly from their site, or purchase duplicates for sale in the gift shop.

[[http://books.google.com|Google books]] provides an interesting opportunity along these lines
