About Content Galaxy

Content Galaxy hosts a channel featuring Tai Chi and Martial Arts videos. It's based on our platform for creating streaming channels that are curated collections of premium videos. Our unique monetization technology enables publishers to build channels and market them efficiently - while simultaneously paying content owners fairly and offering a great value to subscribers.

Here's an interview with WhatsNewInPublising about who we are and how we ended up developing a platform for a better model of content monetization:

"Q&A: Content Galaxy,
helping publishers create subscription video-on-demand channels"

How we went from idea to product

We've thought a lot about the general problem of monetizing digital content in the Internet age. Advertising seldom generates sufficient revenues and always degrades the user experience. We believed that there must be a better way to buy and sell media over the Internet.

We began to see the potential of using a new revenue sharing model supporting the creation of subscription channels with lots of related, valuable content, pulled together from many sources. The basic idea was to supply a trustworthy financial service that allows independent content owners to combine related digital content into compelling, affordable channels. The service would guarantee all contributors get paid fairly – based on actual subscriber usage. Our team’s years of experience in designing and implementing secure, scalable financial systems would be instrumental in creating the new publishing platform.

Then, from talking with potential customers and content providers, we concluded that video was most in need of this new kind of ecommerce service. In particular, we saw that no web platform was doing a good job of monetizing instructional, special interest, and news videos for their creators.

To test the platform and business model, we created a real-world proof-of-concept channel. This first channel (for Tai Chi) has successfully secured a growing number of paying subscribers, duly compensating all content providers and affiliates. We've started work to incorporate blockchain ledger accounting of subscription revenues and payments that can be tied back to the viewing details. Now we're looking for entrepreneurs who see the potential in our approach to publishing.
