Amazon Unveils Amazon Video Direct: A New Platform for Creators to Monetize Their Content

It's Tuesday, May 10th, 2016, and online retail behemoth Amazon.com is setting its sights on online video behemoth YouTube, which is owned by search giant Google. In a move that could potentially disrupt the status quo, Amazon has launched Amazon Video Direct (AVD), a new platform that will allow individuals to post their own videos on Amazon and earn money based on views. This move marks a significant shift in Amazon's strategy, as it seeks to capitalize on the lucrative online video market.

According to Bloomberg, AVD partners so far include Condon Nast Entertainment, HowStuffWorks, Samuel Goldwin Films, and pro guitar lessons. These content providers are likely drawn to the platform due to its potential for monetization, which could provide a new revenue stream for creators who may not have had access to traditional publishing or distribution channels.

AVD's business model is built around the idea of allowing creators to earn money based on views, rather than relying on advertising revenue. This approach has been successful for platforms like YouTube, where creators can monetize their content through ads and sponsorships. By offering a similar model, AVD aims to provide creators with a more direct link to their audience and a more stable source of income.

The launch of AVD also marks an important milestone in Amazon's efforts to expand its reach into the online video market. As a leading retailer, Amazon has long been aware of the importance of providing content to its customers, particularly in the areas of entertainment and education. By creating a platform that allows creators to monetize their content, AVD provides a new way for Amazon to engage with its audience and provide value beyond just sales.
