In modern day, streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube Premier, HBO, and Speck have taken over, it's easy to see that SVOD services will be taking over the digital world. People are even starting to choose these methods of digital streaming over the traditional networks. Netflix, being the most popular, grew to 130 million subscribers in 190 countries. Hulu reached 17 million, Amazon reached over 100 million, and HBO Now hot 5 million in the U.S alone. First, companies partner with a distributor who has a solid relationship with the streaming service your looking to distribute on. Many smaller companies use this method because it is completely free to submit movies onto the services, they rely on the producer to bring them the quality content instead of looking for it. Speck is a streaming app on the phone or iPad where with a small donation of $50, producers are able to publish as much content as they want via their account. Millions of people are able to view your film and, if successful, they will begin distributing your movie to larger platforms for free. Amazon on the other hand, unlike any other service, pays you for every view you receive on the movie. Amazon also allows you to submit your product on your own via the Amazon Video Direct however, you'll need to meet all the requirements including close captions. If any service is into your product, licensing fees for up to 2 years will be required and video files and artwork must be handed over.
There are multiple different ways that I can distribute my movie via this method, the bet however seems to be Speck since I can publish my movie for free and hopefully be successful so that my product will be distributed to larger platforms for free.
