The Platform is OPEN for Business as of July 1ST
YOU CAN NOW ACCESS THE FULL PLATFORM!!
This is one of those rare moments when a line gets drawn in the sand—and you’re standing on the right side of it.
You're not just getting early access. You're part of something that most people only get to hear about in podcasts years later:
“I wish I had been there when YouTube launched…”
“Imagine being one of the first users on TikTok…”
“What if I had staked my flag in Patreon before the wave?”
That’s where you are right now.
You're not beta testing a minimum viable product. You're stepping into a living, breathing, functioning ecosystem—curated, monetized, and already moving fast.
When YouTube launched…
“Imagine being one of the first users on TikTok…”
“What if I had staked my flag in Patreon before the wave?”
That’s where you are right now.
You're not beta testing a minimum viable product. You're stepping into a living, breathing, functioning ecosystem—curated, monetized, and already moving fast.
Let’s put it into perspective:
1. YouTube at Launch (2005)
Had zero monetization for creators or fans.
No revenue-sharing until late 2007, when the Partner Program launched.
Initial videos were mostly homegrown, short, and scattered (e.g., “Me at the zoo”).
No content curation, no homepage strategy — just a raw upload feed.
VidMe comparison:
You’re launching with a polished front-end, category curation, and 200+ videos.
YouTube had none of that.
2. TikTok (as Musical.ly & early Douyin)
Initial U.S. rollout involved seeding 50–100 creators per niche, not open UGC at scale.
No monetization or affiliate engine at launch.
No reward structure for viewers — just basic likes and follows.
VidMe comparison:
You have more total videos, a growing creator base, and fan-side monetization before the UGC firehose even opens.
3. Patreon
Launched with a few dozen creators. Only 100 videos.
No fan-side incentives — only a subscription-style paywall.
Took 12–18 months before they had real traction or meaningful payout volume.
VidMe comparison:
You’re rolling out with pre-registered users, video rewards, and performance-based scaling — not a passive donation model.
Not a broken system we have to rebuild post-hype.
We’ve got:
200+ live videos
A fully-operational affiliate program
A growing content library
A streaming platform and referral engine built to scale
Full UGC - Creator content uploading coming soon
Social features and community tools rolling out next
