How is this different from a platform?
This is a standalone website. It's yours. Consider it like having your very own personal platform that resides 100% on your domain. It's not part of some bigger backend system (a platform). Your site is its own independent operation, controlled by you.
A platform is owned by someone else. You don't own anything, you're just uploading your content to someone else's site. This means that at any time they can change their mind, or cash out, or go out of business and at any time without any notice, your account can be shut down forever. Besides that, your customers belong to the platform, not to you. They buy from the platform, which then pays you.
Why you should own your own site
You're in charge: Unlike Twitch and other platforms, a website allows you to fully customize your design, layout, and branding. This creative control ensures that your website aligns perfectly with your personal style and message.
You own the platform: Platforms can change their algorithms or policies, affecting your visibility and reach. With your own website, you have complete ownership and control. You're not bound by platform rules, ensuring your independence in content creation and distribution.
Diversify your income streams: While platforms might offer limited monetization options, a website gives you the flexibility to diversify your income streams. You can sell products, offer online courses, provide exclusive content through memberships, and integrate various advertising methods, maximizing your income potential.
Engage more with your audience: Websites often have features like blogs, forums, or comment sections, enabling deeper interactions with your audience. Meaningful engagement fosters a sense of community, loyalty, and trust, making your followers more likely to engage with your content.
Search Engine Visibility: Optimized websites can rank higher in search engine results. This means people searching for topics related to you are more likely to discover your website, expanding your reach beyond your existing followers.
Analyze your audience: Websites provide detailed analytics that can help you understand your audience better. You can track visitor demographics, behavior, and preferences. This data-driven approach allows you to create content that resonates with your audience and tailor your marketing strategies for better engagement.
You control your brand: Your website serves as a central hub for your online presence. It's a place where you can showcase your achievements, collaborations, and long-form content. Over time, this centralized approach helps in building a recognizable and enduring personal brand.
Post whatever you want: On your own website, you will never have to worry about violating terms of service and getting banned. No one can ban you from "you.com".
Frequently asked questions
You have questions. We have answers.
Similar to Twitch, we have a revenue-share model - 20% of subscription revenue after hosting and payment processing fees, our maximum payout is $5,000 per month and you keep the rest. There are no up-front costs. We make money only when you make money.
We set that up for you.
You do. Think of us as nothing more than the team of people behind the scenes who are helping you.
Our staff handles all of your customer service for issues like cancellations, lost passwords, technical problems, refund requests, fraud reports and most other issues.
You can, but we will work with you to make it as convenient as possible.
No maximum, you can upload *very* large video files.
In addition to setting up your site, we will also integrate Stripe as your payment provider. After fees, Stripe will split the payment, with 80% going to you.
About two weeks.
Before the site goes live, we wil send you a demo to get your feedback. After, you can cancel at any time. You will get to keep the code for your website if you would like to.
Of course! Ask us for a demo of what we can build for you.
A couple of reasons. First, you keep a greater share of your revenue - 20% for us versus 50% for Twitch. We also max our share at $5,000 per month. Second, you will never be de-platformed because you own your platform. You can express yourself without worrying about being de-platformed, ever.
No. Having your own website is not intended as a replacement or an alternative for whatever platforms you're regularly using. Platforms are too big, have too much reach, influence, traffic and value to be replaced. The purpose of also owning a site is so that there's a core part of your business that you own yourself and that isn't subject to the volatility, restrictions, limitations and risks that come with platforms. The ideal business strategy is to have several revenue streams including multiple platforms and your own website. Since the internet began, there has never been a more secure or stable fallback than a site you own.
Just about anything. Old streams, gaming strategies, game walk-throughs, speed runs, etc. Curse to your heart's content because no one can ban you from you.com.
Sure! We can discuss adding additional features for an additional cost.
Because there are no upfront costs, there are no refunds! But if you no longer want your site online, we will take it offline and send you the code for the website if you would like.
