How Recast Works
Recast’s toolkit gives you full control over how your media is sold, shared, and promoted - with revenue flowing back to you.
1. Host Your Media on Your Own Website
Using either simple embed widgets or our Payments API, you can display and sell your content - be it a live stream, podcast episode, digital comic, or tutorial - directly from your own site. This keeps users on your domain and strengthens your brand.
2. Sell via Pay-Per-View Access
With Recast, there’s no need for subscriptions. Viewers and fans pay only for what they want to access. Whether it’s a one-off video, a downloadable guide, or an exclusive audio track, pay-per-view access gives users flexibility - and you more earning potential.
Want to offer both subscription access and PPV? No worries, Recast integrates seamlessly as a complementary option to existing monetisation strategies.
3. Enable Host & Earn Affiliate Monetisation
Want others to help sell your content? Recast’s Host and Earn widgets let third-party partners embed your media on their own websites.
Every time someone buys through their widget, the affiliate earns a share. You decide the share amount. This gives you free, performance-based distribution.
4. Boost Reach with Share & Earn Links
Affiliates or fans can also use Share & Earn links to promote your content across social media, email, or blogs. These trackable links make sure affiliates get a set revenue share for every purchase they help make. This turns your audience into an active sales team.
