Moreover, features like blogging, live chat, and other social networking tools are built into its platform. TikiLIVE users can also monetize their content and keep track of revenues through the solution’s easy-to-use analytics.
TikiLIVE platform owners can actually create and manage streaming packages from the administration panel if they have the Package Management Module installed. The first step that you need to do in order to edit user’s package, you have to login into the admin area of your TikiLIVE solution. Now you are ready to access the Packages Menu.
This module allows the site admin to Sell Broadcasting Packages to their Users. Monetize the site by charging content producers based off bandwidth, storage and viewerbase. By creating specific packages the Admin can set up a pricing structure that works for smaller or professional studios. You can assign one of the existing packages to your broadcasters or create a custom package for their needs. See below how the Packages Page looks like:

There is a particular case when you want to modify a user package. If the user has a paid subscription in place when the admin wants to edit the package, then the admin will not be able to modify the package assigned to that user.

Braodcasters can subscribe, upgrade packages and purchase additional bandwidth on the fly to make sure that their broadcasting package is exactly what they need. With a core system based off PayPal’s subscription-based API, a TikiLIVE Network ensures that all payments are made securely and on time.

Monetizing content on TikiLIVE
Speaking about the Pay Per View feature, this grants the ability to bring in revenue from ticket sales for both Live shows and Recorded or Uploaded Videos. Simply set the VOD or Scheduled Live Event price and publish the content. A broadcaster can schedule a reoccurring event so users can tune in multiple times per week to view the live show for a set fee.

The Add Roll System on TikiLIVE
Dedicated to its clients’ success, Eyepartner, Inc. has been lauded as a cutting-edge software developer for more than a decade and a half. Eyepartner works with clients to design and implement streaming media, video, and related solutions, offering industry insight and experience very few companies can match.
Another Eyepartner innovation is the Ads System Module an SAAS Module (Software As A Service) offered for the TikiLIVE platform owners. The module is delivered onto our domain and will be accessed by each client through his own unique login username and password.
The main reason the system was set up as a center console solution was to create a central distribution system that can be monitored and AUDITED by third parties, such as Google. It works in much the same way that Double Click works. When the client uses the DART system he uses the DoubleClick servers as these are audited by the third parties. With this module Eyepartner makes monetizing content simple by offering pre-roll video ads and pop-up image ads.
Ads Module is built so that a user sees a pre-roll campaign 1 time at 20 minutes (no matter what link/browser the user opens). If you want to test all the module usability and not wait for the 20 minutes session to complete, make sure you clear cookies from the browser before you reopen each link on the platform where Ads are installed.
This is how the Pre and Post-Roll Ad will be displayed on the player:
Every change you save in your ADMIN account (on ads.eyepartner.com) will be visible on front end in 20 minutes after you change it.
This is how the Middle-Roll Image Ad will be displayed on the player when you are watching a channel:
This is how the Middle-Roll Text Ad will be displayed on the player:
