Problem
Digital content creators often struggle to monetize their entire portfolio of photos and videos, especially content that doesn't immediately gain traction or views. Many visual assets remain unused and unmonetized, representing a missed revenue opportunity for creators.
Solution
Yoinks provides a marketplace where content creators can upload photos and videos and monetize them based on viewership. The platform offers a unique model where content viewed within the first 24 hours is free to access, incentivizing early engagement. After the initial 24-hour period, access to the content transitions to a paid model, allowing creators to earn revenue from assets that may not have been immediately popular but still hold value. This approach enables creators to generate income from a broader range of their visual content, maximizing their earning potential.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes photographers, videographers, and digital content creators looking to monetize their visual assets, as well as viewers interested in accessing a diverse range of user-generated content.
