How to Build your own Netflix | Create a Streaming Service

[@life1012]

Thank you for offering useful content. Is it possible to add a create voice message element on an adalo app.

[@docwilliams]

Hey great question! Depends on the exact functionality you want but it can use audio but to create a voice message perhaps using a third party integration. I would look into integration with Twilio or daily.co Here's the request from the community adalo.canny.io/component-requests/p/record-audio Hope that helps!

[@taiwotijani7719]

Hi Williams, I am interested in the buying the VOD shell.

[@BassFishingHQ]

This was extremely useful. Thanks Doc!

[@docwilliams]

No problem!

[@dushawnbulloch3208]

I definitely appreciate your information and your time. As a college professor, I recommend that you explain the subject matter in the form of steps because this would be much more practical. The theoretical nexus of what you covered is appreciated but a more practical explanation would make your videos that much more effective.

[@docwilliams]

Hey thanks I appreciate it! Great points and actually a new video for how to get started step by step is being released in the next few months. Stay tuned

[@ThatFlapGuy]

If you already know how to make a Streaming service it’s easy the hard part is to make it Legal

[@docwilliams]

yup!

[@cute2neko]

That's not the hard part you could get a business name and the tax info the hard part is the investing you have to pay alot of money to each show/ movie you put in into your streaming service so that is legal

[@ThatFlapGuy]

Thats was one of the things i had in mind when i Said it

[@MateoMesarich_Animator-Skills]

I WAS LOOKIN FOR SOMTHIN A TAD SIMPLE.✌✌

[@docwilliams]

Goodtimes! Did you find a platform that fits your goal? Or are you still on the search for it first?

[@bradhouston4734]

Thanks for all the tips. I’ve been tuning in here and there too what you are doing and always enjoy the content. I admire you for giving props to alternate platforms…even though you guys have your own solution. I was kind of hoping that your solution was going to be a no code platform, but for creating a VOD service…but I’m still interested in investigating your offer.. So, see you soon I guess! 😀👊🇦🇺

[@docwilliams]

Hey Brad glad it can help! Yeah man there are great options depending on your situation. I have another platform I'm excited about that is a no code option and a lifetime deal I'll be sharing later this week. Yeah our option was specific to a specific option at this time a no code solution didn't make sense but like I mentioned in the video very few times would I need just use a no code platform. Feel free to reach if you want our help. Take care!

hey, great video. I have an idea of video or movie streaming from different production companies which I wanted to stream on my web page with a subscription and free pre-start. Which one would you recommend? I have not started the business yet.

Love it! I would go with Teyuto teyuto.com/?via=doc Keep me posted!

[@thesportschannel3088]

For MMA content, which platform do you recommend? or we make our own OTT? what could be the pricing strategy?

[@docwilliams]

Great question! I would go with Teyuto- teyuto.com/?via=doc I would not go with creating your own esp. starting out. Pricing comes down to asking your audience and experimenting with the value of the product.

Great Video, I have no idea what I am looking for while I am looking into all of this information. I have an idea of what I would like to create, but am unaware of where to exactly start. Your video brought a lot of clarity and I would love to know more! I would like to make an Anime Streaming platform, which would be the best option?

Hey Sean! Great question- I would go with Teyuto to get started. Here's link- teyuto.com/?via=doc

[@mepp70]

Do I need a business license to start my own streaming service? Or does that depend on why kind of streaming service I'm making?

[@docwilliams]

@@mepp70 Great question! I would check with an accounting, but in general yes if you are selling anything you’ll need to register as a business. Depending if you’re in the US you’ll need to get a FEIN and register your business in your state. Again I would check with an accountant for full details and regulations.

What kind of developer do need to create this from scratch or what kind of coding do you need to learn to create yourself? I rather just learn how to code in that language

[@docwilliams]

There are several different languages to use to create these types if platforms. Learning Rails or Ruby on rails is one avenue to start. Hope that helps, take care!

[@kingumar4749]

Thank you so much for this so useful to me, am new to coding and I have an idea to build a Live streaming platform, which one is best for me to start with that is cost effective?

[@docwilliams]

Glad to help! This depends on your budget, time constraints, and skill level with coding. I’m a fan of Teyuto overall to get started. To get more details and options check out this video- kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHq6n4Kufdykfqs

Great video. I love it. Can I not just Build the Netflix like streaming service in Bubble, e.g. I want to build the following in BUBBLE Design, Database, Player & Subscription and... VIDEO HOSTING Vimeo or AWS In practical terms, will this be the right choice for starting off and scaling up?

[@docwilliams]

Hey Denzel thanks for the support and glad you're liking the content! Yes you can! Bubble is totally fine if you prefer building out on that platform and using AWS S3 or whatever cloud storage you want to use.

[@denzeleiseb6364]

@@docwilliams Wonderful. Thanks for the fast reply. I don't mean to take much of your time. I have a client (Film Company) approach me to build a service for them. I am considering taking the deal. My main concern is storage for the content. Vimeo or AWS, which one plays well with Bubble in terms of SPEED & Player?

Hey doc I am launching a global niche that’s quite focused I was about to do uscreen but we need a combination of LmS where learners will go through a specific curriculum and use videos, PDFs etc to fill out their strategic plan as they move through the courseware We also want to have a way for Q&A with some of the video experts in our Vod - if there’s a way your custom solution can do this or podia would be the preferred choice? Any help would be truly appreciated! Await your reply

[@docwilliams]

Great question! Yeah I would prob look into Podia (www.podia.com/?via=brandfactoryinc) for my preferred choice.

[@hctoronto1079]

Thanks doc! Tetuyo is the direction we are going because of its per use pricing and mainly its also a mobile app like uscreen - it is vod plus learning - podia didn’t have a dedicated app from what I seen so far This pivot is all due to your videos - huge thanks from all of us

[@annapeterson_stories]

Hello, thanks for all that, it's very informative, my question is If I want to make a platform right away with not much money and I go with say uscreen Am I going to be able later on to switch it for a platform like you offered when my business is growing and Im starting to actually lose a lot of money due to the percentage per subscription?

[@docwilliams]

Hey Ana! Great question! Yes you can but you’ll have to manually migrate the videos or you might be able to do this with a programmer migrating it. If I was just getting started yes I would start with Teyuto and scale from there. Keep me posted!

Hi what do you call someone that knows how to make Netflix. I am seeking to get into contact with someone in this profession but do not know what they're called. HELP!!!

[@spirituallyconspired]

Doc - this may not apply for this particular video. But let’s say your business model includes paying content creators through the subscriptions they generate. Is there a platform that does OTT that allows you to profit share your subscriptions?

[@docwilliams]

Hey great question! It's possible but this depends if you're using something like Stripe and you could potentially do this with the Stripe API. Depends if you need this to be a one-off thing or a feature so would need this option constructed for with a front end to do these deals with creators. Hope that helps! You can add more details if you have more questions.

hi , I am kinda confuse right now. What I want is a streaming website and app where customers will be able to pay a montly subscription and have all access to every content I will be uploading such as movies, tv shows, cartons and animation stuff. My question is what should I start with???

[@docwilliams]

great question! The first part you need to start with- Do you have an audience and anyone willing to pay you for your service right now? What is your budget for having a platform? I would start with answering those questions and to find out more check out this playlist- kzbin.info/aero/PLfLZisr0-a4Q0_L-VQCLKYNf71j9n8jlb

[@benjaminfranclingangstasll3189]

How could I own and control my own app brotha? Would this give me complete control?

[@docwilliams]

Depends on the exact option you choose. If you choose any platform that you don't make you have to abide by the companies' terms and conditions but you can still own the content. I would first define complete control you're looking for. In general if you're looking for full control you'll need your own platform, storage (I would recommend cloud).

hi doc, my kid wants to build a streaming service, what to do?

[@docwilliams]

Hey Kelly! Great question. I would start with two things. First, do you own or have access to license the clips your showing to your audience? Question 2: after showing the clips to your audience on your FB page have you asked your audience if they would pay for the content? If not, why not?

[@kellydukes4644]

@@docwilliams I actually don’t. How would I go about getting the license? I’ve asked would they subscribe to a new streaming app they all said yes! The audience gave me a list of shows/movies they would like to see that other services don’t have in order to sign up.
