monetize
Turn into cash
Monetize means to convert something into a source of income.
Content creators monetize videos through advertising.
A business monetizes its user base by selling data or subscriptions.
The word often carries a faintly cynical edge, suggesting that something previously free or uncommercial is being exploited for profit: They've monetized every aspect of the user experience.
