Santa Ana, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/06/2015 -- Streaming Media Hosting, one of the top North American providers of media streaming services and content delivery, announced the launch of a fast, easy new content monetization system. The new program will allow users ranging from concert and sports event promoters to educators and business consultants to create simple, straightforward pay-per-view arrangements for their streaming media viewers. In addition, a flexible, equally accessible in-video advertising system can be combined with this option or used on its own, providing even more in the way of content monetization options.

"We are always listening to our customers and looking for ways to further improve our highly popular services," Streaming Media Hosting representative Robert Klug said, "and one of the most frequent requests we have heard is for a simple, bulletproof way to monetize your content. We're excited to launch our new content monetization system, designed to allow for the easy use of everything from ticket-based pay-per-view to highly flexible advertising placement."

A relative rarity as recently as five years ago, streaming media, whereby audio and video is delivered over the network incrementally, as each bit is ready to be used, is today the single greatest consumer of Internet bandwidth. Television and movie streaming service Netflix is estimated to use up more than a third of the Internet's aggregate downstream bandwidth, and more than two-thirds of all American music fans today listen to streaming music in a given week.

By providing a wide range of high quality streaming media services that meet the needs of everyone from casual individuals to demanding corporations with thousands of viewers, Streaming Media Hosting has become one of the industry's clear leaders. In recent years, for example, the company took home back-to-back awards from readers of the Streaming Media Magazine trade journal, reflecting the respect it had earned from those most in the know regarding the subject.

Today, Streaming Media Hosting provides everything from production and editing services to rock-solid, highly reliable content delivery arrangements, allowing for easy, affordable broadcasting of any kind of streaming media content. The company's ip camera broadcasting services, for example, make it as simple and affordable as possible for users to send the output of those inexpensive, ubiquitous devices to viewers around the world, with the whole process requiring nothing more than a few clicks.

The company's new content monetization services will make getting paid for streaming video just as simple and easy. Through the new system, users can opt for pay-per-view arrangements, in-video advertisements, or a combination, with each of these choices including a full range of options and features. A sophisticated ticket management system for pay-per-view services, for example, allows advanced users to set up subscriptions and packages of any sort that might be wanted, while users of the advertisement insertion service have full control over ad placement and frequency, in addition to other factors.
