Video is one of the best ways to deliver content to others. This is particularly true for tutorials, reviews, and online courses. With video, you can show people how to do something step by step.
I still actively update both my YouTube channels. YouTube has a huge audience, but it unfortunately does not pay very well until you have tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of subscribers.
That is why many internet marketers and content creators turn to services such as Uscreen. Uscreen is a complete Video On Demand service that allows you to upload content and deliver that content to your community.
You can charge what you want for the premium content you create. Many people are using the service to earn thousands of dollars every month.
Uscreen is a premium service so it is not something that most people will just dip their toe into to test the waters. You need to have a sound business plan in order to make it work, but if you do it correctly, you could make a lot of money.
Let’s take a closer look at what Uscreen offers.
What Does Uscreen Offer?
Uscreen gives you everything you need to sell videos online and make money. It provides video hosting, a membership system to manage customers, and a billing system to charge members.
Uscreen breaks the process in four steps.
First you upload your content. You can upload videos, audio, PDF documents, text, and more. Then you use their themes and stlying options to present everything in a professional way.
Then you set your price and use their marketing tools to increase sales. Finally, you utilise promotions and subscriptions to optimise your business.
Check out the video tutorial below to see how you can get started with Uscreen in just 15 minutes.
The main selling point of Uscreen is that it takes care of everthing for you.
Its hosting setup supports an unlimited number of simultaneous connections. Subtitles and captions can be added to your videos and content can be delivered to a variety of devices including mobiles and smart TVs.
The billing system accepts PayPal and all major credit cards. There are no hidden fees or transaction fees so the price you charge customers is what you will earn.
The platform allows you to build your own sales funnel to increase leads and conversions. Analytics and other tools, such as heat maps, help you understand your customers and see how you are generating money.
The best thing about it all is that you get instant access to your funds. You can transfer earnings to your account via bank transfer whenever you want.
How Much Money Can You Make with UScreen?
The Uscreen blog has lots of tips on how you can sell videos online.
The customer examples page is also a great place to draw inspiration as it showcases other websites who are using Uscreen to make money online. This includes the choreography service Tmilly TV, the music production website Fader Pro, and the meditation service MindFresh.
You can look at all of these example websites and examine what kind of content they are producing and how they are presenting their videos and courses. Take something from each of them and apply it to your own website.
The most inspiring page on Uscreen is their Sell Videos Online page. This page breaks down exactly how you can make money through Uscreen and shows you examples of websites that are doing it already.
Many websites are making tens of thousands of dollars per month from just a few hundred paying subscribers.
Other websites make their content more affordable and make a lot of money by offering great value. The magic learning service Magic Stream only charges members $12.99 per month, however with 2,000 subscribers the services is making close to $26,000 per month. That’s over $300,000 per year from selling an affordable course to 2,000 people.
Using Uscreen will not guarantee you make money. You still need to do the hard work and produce good content.
What Uscreen does is give you all the tools to host your content, market it to your audience, and turn those people into paying customers.
The Uscreen User Interface
The Ucreen member area is very easy to navigate. All sections can be accessed via the main menu at the left-hand side of the page.
The member area options are divided between the dashboard, content, sales, users, customisation, analytics, settings, and native apps. At the bottom of the main menu you will find a link to your video store and an option to log out.
The dashboard area gives you an overview of your visitors, registrations, video plays, and sales. There is a setup wizard there too to help you get started.
Videos and documents can be uploaded and managed in the content area. Content can be dripped to certain users if they opt in for a particular offer and you can categorise your content and add additional authors too.
In the sales area you can setup your offers. You can sell content on a subscription basis, as a fixed price, on a rental or pay per view basis, or offer content free of charge. Bundles can be bundled together too if you want to offer incentives to customers to spend more money.
Coupons and affiliates can also be managed from this area.
In the users area you can manually invite users and export your full user list in CSV format.
With each user you can change their data, view their active offers, check invoices, and more.
There are six themes that you can select as a base for your video store. You can then add and change the design as you see fit.
From this area you can add home page sliders, customise navigation links, upload images, add additional pages, modify theme templates, and add CSS code snippets.
Within the customisation area you can change the styling of your website in the styles and colours area. You can change the colours of buttons, forms, sections, and the video player itself.
The stats area gives you data about how your videos are performing, sales reports, coupon reports, and affiliate reports. A list of files that have been exported is listed here too.
You will find a large number of options in the settings area. You can change general website settings, notifications, and set up your domain name.
In this area you can also set up your payment settings and connect your account to a host of third-party services. User fields and notifications can be modified here too.
The native apps area allows you to change video settings for Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android. It was not available in the demo account I tested so I was not able to see what options are available.
Pricing
Uscreen is available in one of three monthly membership plans. The basic plan costs $99 per month, the pro plan costs $199 per month, and the luxury plan costs $399 per month.
The more expensive plans offer more features, but they also permit a higher number of sales. The basic plan allows sales up to $1,000 whilst the pro plan allows up to $5,000. The luxury plan removes the sales restriction altogether.
The basic plan offers email marketing integration, video scheduling, and an option to drip your content to subscribers. Support is provided via email, though you can also refer to their help area.
Moving up to the pro plan increases the theme library, adds advanced theme customisation, coupons and discounts, and quizzes, surveys and other learning tools to make your course more interactive. This plan also allows you to use a custom domain and white label your course so that your own name and branding is used.
The pro plan also adds integrations for a host of third-party services such as PayPal, InfusionSoft, Stripe, Zapier, and more.
The luxury plan adds many professional features including a fully functional affiliate system to help others promote your content. It also adds analytics, API access, group and team subscriptions, and the ability to add videos and banner advertising into your videos.
Final Thoughts
Uscreen is an impressive service that gives you everything you need to make money online.
It is becoming harder and harder to make any money from YouTube. Just recently I saw a YouTuber I like who has over 900,000 subsribers leave because they could not support themselves. It takes years to reach that level so it is concerning that even successful YouTubers are struggling.
That is perhaps why many are turning to video services such as Uscreen. If you can produce good content and find a market for it, you can make a huge amount of money.
The service has given me a lot to think about as it’s making me think I have been approaching video content all wrong.
I recommend checking Uscreen out to find out more about it.
Thanks for reading.
