I just went to the ArcGIS Marketplace to see if I could buy the latest and greatest Story Map from around the world. This might be some ripping yarn supported by maps.
When I searched the ArcGIS Marketplace for 'story map' the only hit I got was an Esri Story Maps page telling me that:
Creating story maps is included in ArcGIS Online with both ArcGIS Online Public Account and ArcGIS Online Subscription
Using the ArcGIS Marketplace, and only the capabilities included within an ArcGIS Online Subscription (which I have by virtue of my ArcGIS for Desktop maintenance), is it possible to create a Story Map, place a paywall on it, and potentially see revenue trickle in, or what might be a showstopper that would prevent it being that easy?
This is a simplified version of something that I would like to do. Assume that:
- a Story Map could be authored which is of enough interest to attract an audience who might be willing to pay to view it.
- I am an authorized marketplace provider even though that is not currently the case.
This question is about trying to understand how to participate in the ArcGIS Marketplace by using a Story Map which is listed in My Contents of ArcGIS Online as a web map app, as the simplest example of an app that might be made available for sale.
