Subscription based content has reached a golden age with spill over into social media platforms with one of the top being Onlyfans. However, a central problem is content theft. Content creators are losing untold sums of money due to users illegally downloading content.
Create a platform that feels familiar to previous subscription content creation platforms with the use of a newly developed anti-theft technology. This social media platform will also be integrated with a high lifestyle subscription based magazine known as Nirvana.
I started researching different social media platforms from direct competitors and long standing social media providers. This was done to get a sense of expectations for features such as feed display, content creation, discoverability, account management and subscription models.
Fans can send a tip or a message to any content creator they are subscribed to. Clicking the send tip (coin) icon will initiate a popup drawer at the bottom. Users simply enter a message (optional), a tip amount and hit send!
Conversely, content creators can request a tip from any of their subscribers. Hitting the coin icon with trail marks behind it will initiate that sequence. Fans will receive a message to either tip the requested amount or elect to give a custom tip.
Another way content creators can generate revenue on Nirvana is to send subscribers premium posts. These posts require an additional charge on top of a monthly subscription cost. To send a post, content creators will click the plus icon within the chat module and perform a keyword search to attach the post of their choice.Once attached, they can send it with an optional message.
Content creators can choose to make extra premium content. In addition to paying a monthly subscription fee, subscribers would have to pay an additional sum to unlock the post. With the ability to set tiered subscriptions, users can set as many tiers as they like depending on when certain groups of users subscribed to their channel.
With the help of Nirvana’s content protection software, content creators can feel assured their content is safe. All content is held within a player screen and any attempts to download, screenshot, or screen record material lead to a black screen on the intended thief’s device (computer, tablet, phone).
Content creators can start a spontaneous livestream and provide the ultimate mecca of interaction between themselves and subscribers. Users can comment, send a tip or purchase a product that a content creator has added to their product databases previous to initiating a livestream.
