Our extension will be primarily students who would also find value out of pre-made software such as Grammarly, Chegg (including citation machine), Mathway, etc. Many of these companies have affiliate programs which will compensate us for directing people to sign up for accounts and pay even more if that user signs up for premium. An actual example payout is $0.20 per free sign up and $20 for premium upgrade on those accounts from Grammarly.

Every 15 to 20 captures, we should create a pop-up window from the extension that will entice the user to go to our unique link in hopes that they sign up for an account. Additionally, in the settings panel we should make a "resources for students section" which will have a wide variety of the different affiliate links that we have.

This is the easiest way to monetize while we look into the benefits of creating premium features, and contemplating if we should restrict user usage to a maximum number of free captures per month.
