Pay Per View Streaming Platform Revolutionising the Relationship Between Creators and Viewers

Nov. 16, 2022

New streaming platform Lounges.tv launches, aiming to disrupt the $70bn streaming market with a creator first ethos that means any creator using the platform is paid 80% of stream or content revenue within 24 hours. Lounges.tv is already working with 1,000s of content creators that are starting to share their content on the platform, scheduling their live streams, and reaping the rewards in turn.

Whether users are full-time video makers, part-time content creators, or are simply passionate about and want to share their work, hobbies, or interests, Lounges.tv is an ideal platform for those looking to be paid properly - rather than having to rely on underpaid viewing metrics, intrusive adverts, or sponsored content. 

Founder of Lounges.tv Scott Green said of the launch:

"There’s an enormous wealth of talent out there and we believe that whether you’ve got 100 or 100,000 followers shouldn’t impact your ability to earn revenue from your hard work and creativity. We’ve created Lounges.tv to democratise content creation, ensuring creators of all sizes across all interests have a fair platform on which to share their content. For too long, the ability to earn from content creation has been locked behind subscriber or follower counts and viewing figures, rather than being based upon the communities and interests of creators and their fans. This space is ripe for disruption, and it’s time it shifted to let creators of all sizes, and not just those with significant followings, to be able to make money."

 

The platform’s goal is to enable the millions of creators around the world to generate a viable source of income through their talents and interests thanks to Lounges.tv's pay-per-view streaming. Whether users are music artists, podcasters, educators, fitness trainers, gamers, or comedians, they can all be paid fairly for their time. Creators set the pay-per-view price for their content or streams, users have 30 days to view it, and the creator is paid within 24 hours.

Lounges.tv is the perfect complement to creators’ other social channels while giving them control of their earnings. Creators set their own prices for streams, deciding on the number of viewers, and how they interact with them whether through chat or two-way stream. For example, a fitness instructor or comedian might want to open their stream to as many viewers as possible letting them interact in chat. Meanwhile, a guitar teacher on the platform may limit their streams to 10 people for lessons with two-way stream enabled for them to interact face to face with the class. For streamer and viewer safety, creators can bring in a moderator to control chats, and dedicated tech support for content creators including helping sharpen sound and visuals helps ensure streams run seamlessly and you don’t need top of the range equipment to get started.

As a viewing platform, Lounges.tv offers audiences a direct link to their favourite creators, free from having to scroll endlessly through content – they simply support, view, and engage with who they want to, when they want to, without intrusive ads and with other members of their fan community. 

As part of its ongoing vision to support creators, Lounges.tv has been awarded an Arts Council England grant to help 150 London-based upcoming musicians aged 16-30 from low-income, and BAME backgrounds. Providing access to free online training with industry mentors, recording time at Pirate Studios and the support they need to stream on Lounges.tv. Applications are open now and open until 30^th November 2022.
