HOST: Hello guys Sorin here welcome to our next lecture and to our next video in this course and class on how to use Amazon video direct to create your own online business with Amazon by selling your videos in their marketplace. Right now you are here in my dashboard as you can see we can have a look at my dashboard nothing actually very exciting is happening at the moment because I just started out but let me get you a little bit acquainted with the dashboard so you can know exactly how it works. When you are in the actual dashboard so on the first page you have performance metrics probably you know that already a lot of platforms do this on the first page you have some performance metrics for your publications for your content to see how it goes.
So first of all the first thing is that you have this performance metrics for total minutes stream so practically how many minutes from all of your videos or stream and you have different filters here OK for all your videos in the last 7days and you can see exactly for the different platforms that amazon has OK which videos or stream how many minutes or streamed there okay and you will have like a matrix like graph here okay in this section here so you can use the filters in the moment that you have more and obviously a very important tool for those of you that are more analytical and want to track very closely this matrix is the fact that you can export the results of a month into a CCV into your computer and compare it with other months and so on OK.
After that you can also see for each day how many minutes are streamed on each of the platforms right here so this would be very useful in the future when my publications will be ready and my videos will be ready. Then you will have the earnings part OK where you can see exactly how much money you earned on each of the platforms and then the payment section where you can see exactly how much money you have earned practically not earnings because this is practically the money that will go into your bank account OK.
Now a very important thing then you have the videos OK here as you can see the dashboard is actually very simple you have to your videos buttons where you can see all of your content that was published here on Amazon sorry. So as you can see right now but we will talk more about this in our next videos.
You have three types of video content that you can publish standalone video so if you only publish one video episodic videos if you have like a web series OK like maybe a YouTube show or something like that you can publish it here like a web seriesOK so for TV shows, web series and for those of you that create online courses probably you will use this episodic type of videos okay because you will create a course like it would be a web series then you will have the subscription program which is actually very
interesting if you are continuously publishing content on a certain subject maybe you are interviewing people having podcasts and stuff like that is definitely worth it to have a look into this subscription plan because you can practically build a base of subscribers that pay you every month so somehow you practically build a type of residual income business okay when you have you have a certain amount of money that are coming into your bank account every single month because you know you have maybe 1,000 subscribers that pay you $3 per month to watch your TV show OK so I'm just giving you an example.
As you can see I already have here Episodic I've already uploaded the section of a course of mine but I have to add captions to it I didn't do it and I've already added a video here that I am waiting for it to be published because I already added the captions and everything and I want to see exactly how it goes. Now you have the support part here OK in your dashboard which is actually very important by I recommend you to have a look into this because you will get more acquainted to the platform and
