Subscription
a revenue sharing system called the Royalty Pool Model which pays you for
every minute your movie is watched. There are no costs or deductions.
Here’s how it works: Each quarter, we set aside 60% of iNDYREELS
subscription revenue for filmmakers. That revenue divided by the total number of
minutes watched across all of iNDYREELS, determines the per-minute valuation.
Each filmmaker is paid per minute valuation for every minute their film was
watched. If your film is viewed less than 15 seconds you will not receive
compensation.
As iNDYREELS grows and earns more revenue, our filmmakers will earn more
too. That’s our favorite part of the model. We want both of us to ‘win’.
8. Pay Per View
Based on the total amount of views based on 15%. There are no costs or
deductions.
Here’s how it works: if you have 1000 views per month based on $8.99 or
custom pricing ______ per month. Your percentage is 15% your compensation is
$1348.50 per month .This is what your compensation is for each month of 1000
views, bringing your total to $4,045.50. Each ending quarter this is your residual
commission payment ending on each quarter payment sent on the 15th
day.
As iNDYREELS grows and earns more revenue, our filmmakers will earn more
too. We want both of us to ‘win’.
