How Can Pivotshare Monetize My Online Presence?

Create or Join a Community

Creating a new community only takes a few minutes. You can choose to make an advertising-supported or subscription-based community.

Subscription pricing can be set between $1.99 and $19.99 per user per month. Pivotshare will take care of creating the user accounts, charging their credit cards and the recurring billing each month. If you decide to make a subscription-based community, you can designate free media that guests can watch before they sign up. This content can be used as a promotional tool for prospective customers to see what your community is all about.

If you choose to create an ad-supported community, short video ads will be shown before your multimedia content and banner ads will be shown on the first page of your articles. Pivotshare will control and place all advertising in the community.

Upload Your Content

You can use the Pivotshare Console to add video, audio or articles to your community.

You can upload multimedia in a variety of formats. The files will be processed by an encoding service and will be available shortly after. You can write articles and upload photos directly into the Pivotshare console.

Get the Word Out

You can use traditional marketing channels to advertise your community and you can also leverage the Pivotshare Console's built in social marketing tools.

If authorized, the Console will automatically update your Facebook and Twitter accounts every time you add more media to your community. This will make sure your friends and contacts see the updates and can support your efforts.

Get Paid

Editors and authors get paid a share of the community's revenue.

At the end of the month, the community's income is totaled up and the system calculates the viewership of each author. The more your media was viewed, the more money you will make.

For more detail, please see the income section.

Grow Your Community

You can invite new authors to help you build your community.

Your community will be successful if you have a large media library and frequent updates. Pivotshare makes it easy to invite new authors so you can keep growing your community and keep your customers happy.
