Remit TV watchers and creators will be offered the opportunity to purchase the video that they have created (please see attached demo screenshot). The digital asset that has been created by the creator becomes a purchasable product that any viewer or creator can purchase.
What problem does this solve?
Who will use this opportunity?
Remit TV targets a broad user base and taps into all users and markets where there is an exchange of value and content. This comprises:
Providing a Stellar Remit TV Master Wallet
Partnership with Orokii - Receiving payments
Partnership with a Stellar Anchor
Since the last submission Remit TV has made significant progress in the Remit TV offering. The key developments are:
To Raise $10k from the SCF which will match funding from Remit TV two private investors in order to:
Remit TV’s mission is to build a fairer society for all. Today there is no level playing field for a content creator unless that person lives in Tier 1 markets and has resource, access, and money to be able to take part in the growing digital economy. Remit TV unequivocally stands for the statements below and will be resolute in creating a platform for good.
Fairness: Everyone can earn from their content from the first day and the first view.
Access to all for the Digital Economy: Anyone over the age of 16 can become a creator and influencer and receive money across borders, through ‘free tipping‘ or receiving digital money driven through the Stellar ecosystem within the app.
A safe environment: Remit TV offers content from creators as long as it passes the auditing process that includes : No Violence, No Sex or Nudity etc. thereby educating people on “bad content” and anything that might create a harmful environment for any given age. It is imperative that Remit TV does not follow the existing social platforms which is ‘ money at all costs’. That is not what Remit TV represents. Good content is safe and without jeopardy.
Alternative to existing social / influencer / remittance: Today there are a handful of businesses that dominate each space in social / influencer / remittance. The barrier to entry in these marketplaces is massive however with a different message and ambition to build loyalty and a relationship with every user from our cornerstone principles, Remit TV will offer an alternative that starts with the many with no opportunities and grows to being a company making a difference every day.
Remit TV has conducted a successful Beta Test / POC based on the first phase of the development. In 2021 Remit TV app was approved into the Play Store ( and is still approved in the Play Store ). The basis of tipping waas via ‘Sukiz’, our then “in-app” coin, gifted to users and creators for tipping creators globally.
The trial took place in the Philippines and was presented as a new social platform that enables all to earn from their content on the first view. Sukizwere gifted upon downloading of the the App, gifted on registering in the app and then also gifted upon submitting content. The success in the Philippines was huge and the organic growth from a marketing spend of $2,800 was huge. The appetite to become a creator and build a community in Remit TV was set. Checkout options included: Airtime and Data, PAYTM, Paypal and others dependent on GEO.
However, what was truly a special result was the organic growth globally, specifically in the Middle East and Filipino Diaspora globally. The App took off and the base grew with content coming in from the Middle East and around the world. The content came from Filipinos working outside of the Philippines and being able to tip each other.
Simply, YT, Insta, FB and others have barriers to entry. YT with 4,000 hrs yearly and 1k subscribers ( rolling ) thresholds makes it impossible for creators to earn. Why are there so little Indian Youtubers with under 1m followers? It is because it is very hard to break through. Remember, only 1% of all creators earn from their content on YT!
Remit TV has raised money from private investors to part fund the investment to integrate and build and deliver a POC that Remit TV users and creators will send money, purchase videos and enable a global organic growth reaching consumers, who need to most help. The $10k requested is a contribution ( if selected ) from the SCF to enable Remit TV to make the right decisions in how we move forward. The support of the SCF is vital to our success. We understand that to move forward without the SCF support would be incredibly difficult.
Simply, we want to work with an incredibly influential and knowledgeable group of Stellar enthusiasts and partners to guarantee the success of the Remit TV project.
The integration With RemitTV will see Fimi Market as the main marketplace used for media sales. Users of RemitTV will have their work uploaded to the marketplace through the use of an api, with sale proceeds being forwarded to RemitTV for disbursement.
The Fimi NFT Marketplace will contain a RemitTV branded section for easy locating and viewing of all RemitTV content. To provide as much exposure as possible, the videos will also be searchable throughout the entire marketplace, not just within the RemitTV branded experience. RemitTV will also be marketed as a Fimi NFT Marketplace partner within Fimi Market Inc. marketing (social media, press releases etc).
Top level overview:
User flow:
Remit TV decentralizes the power of earning money from content and offers every individual, globally, with a smartphone, the ability to earn money from their content by being tipped for free by friends, family, community or strangers. Remit TV is based in the UK and today specifically targets primarily low/middle income individuals in South East Asia and Diaspora in Tier 1 We are driven by becoming a genuine alternative in social, influencer and remittance marketplaces, for everyone.
