Becoming A Webseed Program Provider: How It Works Overview

1. Create An Account

Webseed is an online-only video/audio/file purchase system. Create a Webseed Program Provider account, and once approved, we request your Paypal Information so purchases will be instantly deposited into your account.

2. Upload Your Content

For each Program you create, upload videos, audio files, Word documents, PowerPoint files, PDFs, etc. Each piece of content can have a description and outline.

3. Promote Your Program

Now you can promote your program on your website, email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. In fact, we will promote your Program on our network as well!

4. Viewers Start Purchasing

People can now purchase your program and be able to watch, listen, and download information you have provided instantly. All revenues go instantly to your Paypal Account.

Webseed is a premium content delivery system that delivers seminars, documentaries, video & audio collections, how-to courses and other content to customers. People pay a fee that you set to view that content collection, which they can view an unlimited number of times from their computer. (Video files are protected so that they cannot be copied off.) Links are prevented from being shared or posted.

Webseed welcomes content on all varieties of empowerment topics, from health and self-improvement to finances, relationships, spiritual growth, personal preparedness and many other topics. (We don't host porn or content that is illegal or unethical.)

Here's How It Works:

  • Create your new Webseed account.  This will involve signing up online, then filling out an authorization form and faxing to us. Once approved, your account will be activated and you can log in.
  • Next, upload your premium content to Webseed (any combination of videos, audio, documents, photos, PDFs, PPT, TXT or other formats).
  • Promote your program any way you want. If we like your program, we may also promote it on our collection of websites.
  • When program purchasers buy access to your program, the money is instantly put into your PayPal account. We charge your Paypal account 15% of your total ticket sales once a week. There are no monthly fees, only an annual fee to continue using our service.
  • When we promote your program and generate new sales for you, we earn an additional 20% affiliate fee for those sales, which is also charged to your Paypal account. We are able to differentiate between the two different sales paths, your and ours. You keep 65% of the revenue on these sales. Remember, these are sales that may of never happened without our advertising network!
  • You can upload as many premium content programs as you want. Keep earning revenues day after day as ticket sales are deposited directly and instantly into your PayPal account when the sale happens.  We don't handle the money for you.
  • To make the ecommerce simple and easy, you will need to sign up for a Paypal Website Payments Pro account so that when people are purchasing your program they will not be redirected to Paypal webpages and possibly lose the sale.  With this account, purchases will have a seemless experience, and you will get the revenue instantly.
  • With the built-in customer service system, you will have a communication path to your purchasers.  If they have an additional need, a problem, or a comment, all of this communication goes directly to you.  If there is a technical problem, Webseed can step in to help.

Webseed Advantages

  • You can upload an program cover (like a DVD cover or screen capture) and a video trailer preview for each program. From this an automatically generated sales landing page is created for you. ( click here to see an example) You can take the link of this sales page and post it on your website, in email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
  • You control the price for the program tickets. There is a minimum sales price you can set for a Program of $4.95.
  • You control the program title, description, keywords, outlines, and other elements.
  • Reach a truly international audience: Your program content is delivered through our global network of servers in over 30 key cities across the globe.
  • No need to host any of the content yourself.
  • No need to pay any bandwidth costs... ever!
  • No need to handle e-commerce or product delivery complexities.
  • If we like your content, we may promote it for you!
  • Aside from the annual fee, you pay nothing to use Webseed, and we only earn revenues when YOU earn revenues.
  • Your Programs can include all sorts of file types: Video, audio, photos, documents, etc.
  • Webseed is NON-EXCLUSIVE, meaning that you are always free to promote your content in other ways at the same time.

As you can see, Webseed is the perfectly platform for selling premium content such as:

  • Documentary films
  • Recorded seminars and live programs
  • Audio collections
  • Ebooks
  • How-to instructional videos

... and many other types of premium content.

How is your content protected by Webseed technology?

The content you upload to Webseed is protected with three different layers that make it virtually impossible for your video or audio content to be pirated by users.

First, users must log in to access your content with a password.

Secondly, when users access your content (watch your videos, listen to your audio, etc.), their access is bound to their IP address with an encrypted token URL. This means the click URLs cannot be shared with other users.

Thirdly, video and audio files are streamed in a protected format that cannot be "scraped" or copied off with video harvesting software. This strongly discourages the pirating of your content. Of course, a user can always point a video camera at their screen and video record the entire video that way, but that would result in a significant quality loss in their pirated video.

While no technology can stop 100% of the pirating activities, our three-layered system makes it extremely difficult for users to copy or share the premium content you upload to Webseed. We have gone to great lengths to protect your content, and we will continue to take steps to keep your content safe.
