All right, this is Mike Adams here.
I've got a really great update for all Brighteon users.
This is good stuff.
We've got a lot of new features and improvements.
So here we go.
First of all, all users have been or are in the process of being upgraded to the 50 video level.
And that's going to be our default level from now on.
So previously, we had limited the number of videos to be uploaded to just 10 for new users who did not yet have any views.
That number is now going to be 50 for all new users.
And again, all current users who are under 50 will be upgraded to 50.
And so Brighteon is really starting to explode right now.
We've seen a lot of migration of, in some cases, hundreds of videos over to brighteon.com.
I know Steve Quayle and his team, they moved about 500 videos over to Brighteon.
They requested an exception to the video limit rule, so we gave it to them.
Because we're very familiar with the quality of their work.
If you've got a library of hundreds of videos, you can request an exception for your channel as well.
And we may upgrade your channel to allow hundreds or thousands of videos depending on what you have.
Or you can just have that happen automatically as you get more and more views over time.
So that's one thing.
The next really great thing is we have more features coming that give you better filters.
And sorting for your videos and how to find your own videos and how to search for videos, view videos based by how old they are or the duration of the videos and things like that.
So a lot of new filters are coming for video management and also analytics so that you can see more details about which videos are getting more views and shares eventually and things like that.
We also have a big new feature and it's called premium videos and this is live right now.
Premium videos.
I can't really show you here on a podcast how to do this, but when you upload a video, you can set it as a premium video in the video edit page.
Then you can set a price for that video.
You can price it from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars.
And it allows people to buy that video.
And I'll explain how this works.
You can then upload a video trailer.
You know, like a teaser or preview, and then you can assign that trailer to be associated with your premium video.
And that way, when people try to view your video, they're just seeing the trailer, and the trailer should promote, you know, hey, buy this video for whatever price you set.
Maybe it's $6.99 or something.
And then people can buy the video, and it'll go into their permanent library.
Once a user purchases the video, they will be able to view it an unlimited number of times in their library.
And you, if you go to the transactions item on your dashboard menu, you'll be able to see the individual sales and total sales for each of your videos.
Now, we keep 30% and you get 70% of the video revenue after we remove the transaction e-commerce merchant fee, which I'll explain.
The merchants charge us, I believe it's 2.9% plus maybe $0.30 per transaction.
After that, we keep 30% and you get 70% and we pay you via PayPal.
After your earnings exceed $100 and we do this payment once each month, that you have over $100 in earnings.
So what you can do is you can take your premium documentaries or your premium how-to videos or whatever you have that's worth everything.
People buying.
You can put a collection of videos together.
It's up to you.
Of course, you have to own the video.
You can't just take somebody else's movie and charge for it.
Obviously, we would reject that.
But if it's your video, if you own it, you can set the price and you can sell it on Brighteon.com.
And again, we'll pay you 70% after the transaction fee.
Now we're going to be selling the new documentary called Vaxxed 2.
So that's one documentary that we already know is in the pipeline.
And I've spoken to another person who's interested in this even before we've announced the feature.
So today I'm announcing the feature.
All the documentary filmmakers, anybody who's got something that's valuable and you want to monetize it on our platform, this feature is now in place.
And it's tested.
You know, people can purchase with their credit cards.
It goes through a regular, I think it's a Stripe credit card processor.
And so this is how you can help monetize your channel.
So that's a big new feature.
Okay, another really cool thing is that we are rolling out a new search feature for Brighteon.
And you'll see that happen seamlessly pretty soon, within a few weeks.
It's a new search technology that we are building out because we're going to be running a new search engine.
The search engine is called Webseed.com, and it is an alternative to Google.
And initially, it focuses on health information, which includes, by the way, chemtrails, geoengineering, fluoride, vaccines, GMOs, pharmaceuticals, anti-cancer foods, nutritional cures, superfoods, smoothie recipes, everything you can think of.
And it's going to initially launch with hundreds of websites being indexed and it will quickly expand to thousands of websites being indexed.
And that search engine from day one will index brighteon.com videos.
So if you have a video in brighteon.com and you've got good titles and maybe good keywords for your video, it means that you have a good chance of showing up in the searches on the new search engine, webseed.com, when it launches, which will be the very end of December.
I'm hoping.
That's if all our engineers don't take long Christmas vacations or something like that.
Late December, maybe early January, but it's coming.
It's imminent.
The technology is great.
It works really well.
So this is another reason to post more videos at brighttown.com.
You'll be featured in this new search engine.
All right, the next thing that's happening, and this will be first quarter, sort of end of first quarter 2020.
We're launching a new vaccine video website that's just like Brighttown, but it focuses only on vaccine videos.
And in fact, it's called vaccinevideos.com.
Now, you don't have to do anything special to have your videos featured there.
All you have to do is have a regular Brighteon account and then upload videos to Brighteon and use the word vaccines in your tags or title or description.
Your video will automatically appear on vaccinevideos.com.
It's the same system.
It's the same login, the same user database, the same video database, everything.
It's just that vaccinevideos.com is just a subset, only videos about vaccines.
And we plan to do the same thing for other specific topics, especially those that are heavily censored, such as firearms or survival and prepping or politics or what have you.
We're going to be breaking out Brighteon into these sub-sites, even though Brighteon itself will continue to host all those videos.
But we'll have different category sites that feature videos on those specific topics.
And again, you don't have to do anything extra special to be included in those sites.
It's just something that we're doing.
And it's going to get more publicity for your videos.
Okay, a couple other things that are happening as well.
Because of the YouTube crackdown, the censorship of evil Google, evil YouTube, a bunch of anti-human scumbags running those tech giants, we've had so many people move over and join Brighteon.com.
That we've actually, our video processing has gotten kind of slow.
And I apologize for that.
On certain times, there's been a three-hour wait for videos to transcode.
I want you to know we are aware of that.
And it's just because Bright Town is more and more popular.
We have a simple solution for it, but I'm waiting on the engineers to do a certain thing that will kick.
It will actually increase the transcoding engines by 60% as soon as they flip that switch, but there's a technical thing I'm not going to talk about.
Anyway, it'll happen soon and you'll see that wait time drop pretty soon.
We have scalability where we can keep up with that.
If it starts trending that way over time, we will just invest in more transcoding systems.
But we don't want to overspend on transcoding and end up having unutilized transcoding engines.
So we're just making sure that this is a long-term trend and not just a short-term blip because we want to keep our costs sustainable.
And this is also good news.
BrightTN.com right now is financially sustainable.
We're not losing money on it and we're not making money on it, but it's basically breaking even, which means we can continue to grow and host and have more videos and serve more views.
And because of all that re-engineering we did last year, the whole system is very reliable.
And you probably noticed, too, that the videos are playing reliably.
They're loading well.
The pages are loading.
We're just going to have lots of improvements from now on, better search functions.
For example, more analytics, more channels, more breakout sites like vaccinevideos.com, and so on.
So the platform is doing really well, and it's very sustainable, and it's growing.
In popularity, people are really liking it.
I've had a lot of good compliments lately.
Even people who a year ago were like, nah, this doesn't have the features I need.
Like, follow this channel or subscribe to this channel, things like that.
Now those features are all there.
So people are having a great time with it.
It's really working for them.
Some channels have like over a thousand subscribers now and the numbers are building up all the time.
So brighttown.com is here to stay.
We are...
We're past the very difficult part of building the infrastructure from scratch.
And now we're just working on new features and scalability and trying to improve transcoding time and things like that.
The best way to support us is to simply share your videos.
On BrightTown.com.
If you have a choice, maybe you have a channel on YouTube, and then you have a channel on BrightTown.
Why share your YouTube video when you could share BrightTown.com and support us instead of supporting the evil, you know, anti-human lunatics at Google?
If you have a choice, promote Brighteon.
And the more viewers we get, the better we do.
And that means we can grow our R&D team and we can put more features into the system.
Views are what actually earn us revenues because of the associated on-page ads, the banner ads that you see on the pages.
We don't have ads in the videos anymore.
We used to, but don't have that anymore.
So nothing is, there's no pre-roll.
There's no interruptions of your videos, just on-page ads.
So that's the system.
That's the update.
My name is Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And we're continuing to build this platform and support it and put more features into it.
And I appreciate you and your voice and your videos and all the things that you're doing to help promote this platform.
We built it for all of us.
Not just us, but you as well.
We built it for everyone to use.
So spread the word and note that we welcome videos that are pro-Second Amendment.
We welcome videos that are pro-America.
You know, we welcome videos that warn about the dangers of vaccines or fluoride or 5G or chemtrails or What have you.
But we also welcome a lot of natural health videos.
Maybe you have videos about, I don't know, healing modalities or recipes from your kitchen or tips for your home, you know, do-it-yourself stuff.
We really love those videos.
Lots of great videos that are on there right now, including James Yeager's tactical pistol or fighting pistol.
It's his full DVD. That he used to sell for like $25.
And you can learn how to run a pistol in a self-defense fighting combat context.
That thing is free.
You should check it out.
It's called Fighting Pistol.
And it's on Brighttown.
So again, thank you for all your support.
There's a lot more coming, but these are kind of the highlights for today.
I'm Mike Adams.
I'll bring you more news as we have more updates in the future.
