Using TikiLIVE’s high definition video as a way to provide a visual demonstration of your product is a great way to raise your sales and drive consumers to purchase your product. Through this medium you can broadcast live events or pre-recorded content on your own online television channel, which you can link to from your website or through your social media accounts on Twitter or Facebook. However, if you want to take this to the next level, or to monetize the actual content itself, you will want to consider IPTV.
IPTV, or Internet Protocol Television, is the wave of the future because it allows people to stream high definition video onto a television set through their a set top box rather than using cable, satellite or phone wire. With your content streamed on IPTV via high speed broadband internet you will reach a new audience that many internet businesses have ignored. You can even reach people on their computers, tablets and mobile devices!
What Do I Have to Do to Tap Into This New Market?
The basics behind creating an IPTV channel on TikiLIVE are the same as with a regular online TV channel; it is as easy as registering your account, creating a channel, creating and broadcasting your live or pre-recorded event, then maintaining and managing your channel through ongoing broadcasts and the suite of tools available through TikiLIVE to review how your channel is working. IPTV is different only in a few minor details and how your audience will receive your message.
The biggest difference with IPTV is that it is delivered through a set top box. The TikiLIVE platform lets you be part of this broadcasting with all of the main players in the market. With Roku, the major set top box player, you can broadcast your HD content next to YouTube, Hulu, Netflix and others right on the Roku box. With Apple TV and Chromecast, two other popular brands, you can stream content via a mobile device onto your customer’s television set.
TikiLIVE also has an option that we call the White Label Set Top Box. With this hardware you can deliver your content to your customers through a set top box that you brand with your own label. Your content can be synonymous with the label on the set top box that carries your content rather than with the Roku or Chromecast logos.
How Do I Get Started?
The first step is to contact us in order for us to verify that your region can be considered for an international IPTV station. Once we confirm that you can broadcast your channel, you can offer premium content with our International IPTV Solution and monetize a complete IPTV platform through your customer base. Then you are ready to begin getting your content out to the masses.
- Live Stream to your Video Channel – With your high definition video channel you can live stream any content so that your audience can virtually attend your event by sitting on their couch. You can stream meetings, conferences, live product demonstrations, or other live content such as sporting events or dramatic presentations.
- Archive Video on Demand Content – By recording your presentation, product demonstrations or live events you can make them available on demand for your audience to re-watch at anytime. The content then becomes available 24 hours a day; 7 days a week, for immediate access from any time zone in the world.
- Make your Content Pay for Itself – By monetizing your content you can have people pay for your valuable knowledge and information rather than providing it for free. When you are an authority in your field, why not benefit from helping others with what you know? You can do this through live pay per view events or video on demand for a fee.
- Live Pay per View – Rather than sending employees to a training session, many companies would rather have these available for a fee without the associated travel expenses. Think of all the online university and college courses, and think how much better this training would be if it incorporated high definition video training as part of the course. If you are using your channel for training others, use TikiLIVE’s pay per view services to monetize your content.
- Video on Demand – Just like a live training session, a pre-recorded video training session can be just as effective with more options for students to watch the video when they find it suitable for them. This allows you to develop your revenue streams without having to continuously teach, and can be much more convenient for your students. A win-win situation for both of you!
- We Take Care of the Broadcasting – This is where TikiLIVE’s expertise comes into play. We have put the infrastructure in place to make sure that your content is available to your audience when you want it to be, without interruptions, slow buffering, or unwanted advertising. We even use our proprietary Monster Encoder technology to ensure that whatever format you have used is correctly converted to the appropriate format for live or video on demand streaming to the device that your audience member wants to use (including the ever more popular mobile phones and tablets).
How Can I Track My Impact?
With the analytics package available from TikiLIVE you can easily track who is viewing your content, where they are viewing it from, and when they are choosing to view it. Knowing who is viewing your content can help you to tailor your viewing experience to the audience that finds your content most useful. By looking at the habits of your current subscriber base you can also easily explore new demographics or areas of the globe.
