Coggno Publishing and Syndication Policies


Content


Content on Coggno is meant to be for substantive conveyance of learning, training, and assessment of knowledge and information. You are free to create and upload content and assessments on any subject area as long as it does not infringe or misappropriate any copyright or is inappropriate. For full details of Coggno’s Content Policy, please see the Content Policy page at Coggno.com


Pricing


You are free to price your content at any amount that you wish. We suggest amounts that are in keeping with your subject areas standards. Consider if the audience for this content are individuals or corporations which are inclined to purchase multiple licenses. There are administrative options within the interface for your content to be purchased and distributed within an organization. You may also want to consider creating course content of varying lengths, and charging accordingly. Learners may be interested in trying out a course at a lower price point before investing in a more substantial one at a higher price point.
There are volume discounting options available to you in the pricing interface.
You can syndicate any of your content. There are options on the syndication screen that allow you to share up to 50% of the revenue from the sale with the Publisher of your content. We suggest you evaluate your goals through syndication. Generally if your goals are to expand your audience and broaden your recognition then facilitate that by sharing a large percentage of the revenue with publishers.


Coggno Fee’s


Coggno does not charge to use the tools or publish your content. When a transaction is completed (your modules are purchased) Coggno deducts 7% of the amount. Example: If you create content and charge $50 for it, sell 10, Coggno will retain $35.00 from the total sale. You will receive $465.00
