What is On.Live?

The world of online broadcasting has taken huge strides over the past few decades. Platforms such as YouTube have become a household name, and a source of income for many. Numerous platforms offer courses online, allowing individuals to learn from the comfort of their home at a fraction of the cost that typical institutions charge.

There is a huge obstacle in the natural progression of this industry - monetization. Every platform has a different method by which the content creator can earn for their work. In many cases, the creators must secure their own sponsors in order to be able to have a viable income stream.

The On.Live platform will completely change the way video broadcasts as well as remote consultation markets operate. The potential for scalability is unlimited utilizing the power of blockchain technology. Using P2P networking any user with computing power and an internet connection can contribute to the platform. A smart incentivization system ensures that the contributors are properly rewarded, driving the decentralized economy forward with ONL tokens.

On.Live intends to change services market forever. Live services will only become more prevalent in the future. On.Live will be there to cater to this industry by offering time transactions, convenient settlements, encryption in transmissions, complete logging and event guarantees.

On.Live is already completed. The project has been developed and is only awaiting implementation. This separates On.Live from projects who are raising early stage funds in order to realize their ambitions. On.Live is already establishing itself in numerous markets such as Japan, China, US, UK, Russia, Brazil, Korea and Spain.

Current Broadcasting Market

The global video streaming market for live services was valued at $30.9 Billion in 2015. The estimated growth rate is 16% CAGR(compound annual growth rate) from 2017 to 2024. At that rate, the market would reach $123 billion by 2024. On.Live will fill service this market in the form of live services and paid public broadcasts.

TV subscription services are on a continued decline. Online videos have been proven to have the highest click-through-rate of any online advertising formats. This means that more and more companies are looking to the online video advertising platforms to raise brand awareness and reach their target demographics. According to Livestream, the year over year growth of online media consumption was 81% in 2016 alone.

Many companies are integrating streaming services into their product offering. Certain estimates place the streaming industry at $70 billion by 2021.

Even with this unprecedented growth, there are many flaws in contemporary streaming services. These issues include a lack of control in regards to how content can be monetized. On.Live will solve this problem by giving the content creators absolute control over how they believe their material should be paid for. After all, different services stand to benefit from different income streams. The current method of forcing the user into a single revenue model is limited, and prevents creators from maximizing on their work.

On.Live Use-Case

Jay is an expert at the violin! His talent goes completely unused since he works as a barista at the local cafe in Mexico City.

One exciting day, Jay discovers the On.Live platform. Being an amazing violinist, he decides to put his talent up for sale. Getting paid for doing something he loves and is good at? Jackpot!

In the mean time, Mary from New York decided to start learning music. She bought a cheap violin to start, and is struggling to find lessons that don't charge outrageous prices. She remember her friend told her about On.Live. She searches for violin teachers and finds a plethora of results. She checks out the reviews and decides to give Jay a try.

She messages Jay, and they agree to a reasonable price. Jay is happy to be able to monetize on his passion, while Mary is getting a great deal from someone who is passionate about what they are doing!
