Q: I'm looking back over the features listed & saw "in-app purchases".

I know you were talking about possible future ability to offer the Disney+ (Mulan) option, but what current feature is "in-app purchases" referring to now? Do you have an example of a current business using your platform & what they are selling in-app in addition to their subscription price. I've studied all of the client sites listed on your website, so I'm familiar with each of their subscription models. But I'm trying to visualize what I could offer as an in-app purchase as the platform is now because it might impact where I set my monthly subscription price.

Thanks in advance,

Kimberly

A: Hi Kimberly - "In App Purchases" is referring to the ability of a user to subscribe to one of your plans using Apple's, Google Play's, or Roku's In-App-Purchases features. It does not mean additional content for sale other than your subscription plans. It is basically the ability to pay using your Apple ID or Google Pay, etc. I hope that helps!

Q: I want to publicly apologize to Julian_Wolf, he was spot on in his 5 tacos for platform 1 taco for deal assessment.

This is not as good of a deal after I did the numbers. Follow me here:

Monthly subscription

Hulu is $5.99
Disney + $6.99
ESPN + $5.99
AppleTV $4.99
The average cost of premium subscriptions is $5.99 (we can not make money selling subscriptions as it is structured) If I charge $3.99 just to stay competitive I lose a dollar so I net $2.99 per subscriber, but then give it back when producing content. It's like burning a candle at both ends and you as the content producer is in the middle.

If I wanted to run a daily or weekly content segment that would be 30 segments or 20 hours over or an additional payout to Odeum of $80.00 at $4x per

Odeum cost of this platform $99.00 (1 code)
Apple App registration Developer program $99 (per year)
Andriod App Developer $25 (one time)

Sunken cost just to get my show on this platform is estimated $225+
Marketing cost $100-$200
Total Startup cost is $425- $500

The numbers do not work on this deal as it is currently structured.
1. You have to give us enough free hours to be profitable and like yourself be sustainable.
2. You have to allow us to be able to stack more hours per code per channel.

* You can't cut your investors off at the knees by making money on both ends. Per-user and per hour the numbers don't work for a small to mid-sized business.

I am structuring a high ticket digital product right now that I can see this working for, but I will only purchase 1 code to do one channel. I was going to purchase about 5 codes for my other lines, but until I did the numbers so the numbers only work for one of my product/services where I charge enough to make a nice spread. I will still offer my regular program course, but this will be an elite/premium package.

Q: I run a small consulting company for multiple small businesses...

mostly in the professional (i.e. doctors, attorneys, other industry-specific consultants) and a few product and services orgs (restaurants, service providers, etc). We want to support their efforts from being customer-facing companies, to taking their businesses online. Hopefully with Odeum, we can offer them great opportunity.

Aside from separate professional businesses listed above, I have ownership in a large performing artist talent agency/management company. Us getting this right may open the floodgates for subscription channels to many (in the hundreds) professional artists that we represent for film/tv/music and other on-screen job placement. Offering each of them their own content-subscription channel is a great option.

However, many are struggling young starving artists... and given the understandable re-branding restrictions per channel... this proposed model that seek may wind up with a few "wasted" channels due to individual's artistic business that go down in flames (especially post-COVID).

Potential solutions... please advise:

1) Each branded channel we open are under ONE brand name (i.e. the name of our talent agency)... we open a subscription channel hosting pooled content from multiple artists. For example... each channel shares our (example) "TALENT-AGENCY.tv" brand. Sort of like a branded "collection of subscription-based channels".

1a) If I have 5 codes, and therefore 5 channels... can each channel share the "TALENT-AGENCY.tv" brand?
- If so, is this done by CNAME under one each branded app? (A) dance.TALENT-AGENCY.tv... (B) fashion.TALENT-AGENCY.tv, (C) comedy.TALENT-AGENCY.tv... etc)

1b) How could each app look/feel different... but still under our umbrella TALENT-AGENCY brand?

1c) If 1a is correct... this helps in the event of talent no longer being represented by us, and we remove the content, and replace with other artists content under our management If not correct... what other options would work?

1d) Is there a way to meter content usage for each playlist (i.e. each artist gets a playlist on one channel)

2) Ideally.. our collection of the five TALENT-AGENCY.tv branded channels each have their own subscription price (say $11.99/mo per channel) but we would want to offer a channel-bundle price for access to all 5 (at say $29.99/mo). Is there a way to possibly have a single sign on to grant access to multiple channel apps with a bundled subscription model?

3) Could we embed each channel onto our a single TALENT-AGENCY website (i.e. Wordpress, Webflow, Wix, or other website option) and therefore gate each channel page on the website (each channel pages would have the cname.TALENT-AGENCY.tv member restricted access) opened by a single sign on (SSO) or social login? (i,e. Facebook login, Google login, etc).

4) Are subscription fees collected under your Odeum Stripe account, and each channel is paid using Stripe vendor payouts?

Q: You say "we do reserve the right to remove content from channels that are not being used after 6 months."

Can you please clarify, does that just mean that you remove the content and new content would have to be uploaded, or does it mean that the channel would be closed down completely?

Thank you.

A: We mean that if a channel is created, and video is being stored but nothing is done with it for more than 6 months (like no subscribers, no use), we reserve the right to remove content from the channel, and to stop supporting it. This would not be done without notice, but allows us to clean up unused channels.
