Watching ads to pay for online subscriptions
Watching ads to pay for online subscriptions
Users subscribe to content using a Vusub account. They then read/watch/listen to their content as normal. Vusub doesn't put itself between the user and the creator/publisher, it's simply an authentication service that confirms the user is a Vusub subscriber.
For a monthly subscription, a user might have built up a 50 Vusub credit balance, which means they need to pay that balance down over the course of the month. When they have some spare time they can access their Vusub app to pay down this balance. If they have more than one Vusub subscription, they will all appear in the app as separate balances. Users are in complete control of when and where they decide to pay their balance down and which ads they watch.
The Vusub content reel is a vertical video experience very similar to other reel/social feeds, the main difference being all of the content is advertising. As users scroll through the available ads they watch what catches their interest or they can search for specific brands or product/service categories. Each ad is worth a certain number of points and after watching the ad, the ad's point total is deducted from their balance. They can watch ads to pay their balance down to zero, or watch as many as they want in one sitting and come back later. They can save ads they like, share them on their social feeds, or click through to learn more about the product/brand being advertised.
