Near-Time customers simply create a collaborative space, select from a series of roles and permissions, set a price and invite members to join. Within seconds, users can create their own commercial marketplaces. And, of course, Near-Time users can create as many collaborative marketplaces as they would like, each with different pricing, designs and services.

Near-Time Premium is for the industrious organization - from small to large

As Web 2.0 is enabling a new age of collaboration and publishing for groups of all sizes, Near-Time harnesses the power of interaction and allows organizations to monetize their collaborative forums. While the scale of the Web is without limits, it is comprised of countless, focused communities. Near-Time Premium empowers smaller, focused groups to create vibrant commercial relationships. It also delivers complementary revenue opportunities for existing products and services, delivering even more value for the largest of communities.

Perhaps most importantly, Near-Time Premium drives revenues where advertising may not pay. For valuable destinations that receive less than 1 million unique visitors a month, Near-Time provides essential revenue opportunities.
