Youtuber / Video Creator
Now, creating video works does not have to require complete and professional equipment. Just with a camera on your smartphone and a free editing application, you can create good quality videos. Furthermore, you can also learn to make animated videos autodidactically. If you are diligent and persistent, your work will definitely be good and worthy of being offered at KaryaKarsa. Well, to earn income you don't need to just wait for sponsors. Because income from advertising or sponsors is not the only way. You can use the following methods.
Release before uploading to other services (like YouTube, etc)
This method follows the pattern of Content Windowing, which regulates when content comes out on which distribution channel. This method will be valuable for an audience that can't wait to watch your content, or it can also be something that is time-sensitive and more valuable if watched immediately (for example, a movie review maybe?).
Behind The Scenes (creation process, information)
The video production process is certainly not just buying a camera and recording. Of course there is a planning process behind it, which may have more value for certain audiences. What is shown can be a story plan, or a storyboard, or a situation in between shooting; it can also be semi-instructional. HR Gram Studio is one of the creators who maximises this kind of content.
Behind The Scenes (personal life)
Revealing what's going on in your personal life is certainly not for everyone, but it can also be something valuable for certain audiences. You can create daily/weekly vlogs that talk about personal things outside the main topic of the vlog, but only available to audiences who pay for the premium support bundle.
Archive Acces
Old videos that have been made can also be made into a paid archive, for example with a special support bundle price.
Video Courses
If you have knowledge and skills that can be easily shared through video, you can make it a video course. It can be a photography course like the one offered by Agnest Riansyah Putra, a music course by Adela Valeri, a sewing course with Dina Adelya, or a public speaking course with Helmy Yahya.
Basically, anything can be offered. Of course, you need to consider the uniqueness of the content as well - between the appeal or need in the audience, and the availability of the same or similar course content from other services.
Premium Videos (longer versions, etc)
Creating video content is not easy, especially if the recording results of several hours need to be edited into 5-10 minutes which are still relatively reasonable for people to watch on their cellphones. Well, with the same material, you can make two versions, with the longer version made premium on KaryaKarsa. Like what Skincraftxza offers in one of their premium bundles.
Additional Videos
With the same video material, you can also plan additional content that is only available on KaryaKarsa through certain support bundles. For example, the content that goes up to YT talks about ideal beach vacation spots, but the paid video talks about price details and trip planning.
New content/miniseries/special segments
If you have the time and money, KaryaKarsa can also be used as a medium for special content that is more premium than content that has been uploaded on YouTube. Don't forget, in planning premium content like this, find out from your audience what content you make that they will be willing to pay to watch (important!).
Access to the creator (meet & greet, live chat, video chat, etc)
There are always audiences who want to meet the creator directly, or interact directly. Evelyn VTuber's highest support package is "I Will Call You", and some have paid for it. Providing access to interact directly or via live chat or video chat is a way to get closer to the most hard-core audience.
Community Access
Aside from the creators themselves, one of the things that audiences like is meeting other fans. This should be facilitated and managed directly by the creators themselves, or at least well-supervised, by creating a specific Facebook group, or even a Discord channel.
Having a community of well-managed audiences will increase the frequency of purchases of works and interest in more "expensive" works. For example, Windia Nata opened a special bundle so that her supporters could join her Discord server.
Additional material (script, notation, etc)
A video creator doesn't always have to produce video content, right? Materials related to the video content can also be made into interesting content; such as the storyboard mentioned above, or a gig setlist, notes that accompany a photography course, or even relevant merchandise/special items.
Voting/Polling
Audiences love to engage with their favorite creators, so holding voting or polling rights can be offered in one of the support bundles. The questions asked can vary, but the more relevant, the better.
For example, voting for the next vlog guest star, or a poll about the most delicious fried rice in Semarang. Or like Kanaya Sophia, a booktuber who opened a bundle so that her supporters could participate in determining the book material that would be reviewed in the next content.
Fan Participation(joining the video, etc)
Involving fans or audiences will have a lot of value for those who want it - a simple meet up and chat, or join in on a vlog that has been watched many times!
Livestream
Livestream is one thing that can invite your audience to be present at the same time and watch your content, maybe also while live chatting and so on.
Physical Merchandise
Selling relevant t-shirts or merchandise (e.g., tumblers for a food channel) is one way to engage your audience and generate revenue.
Direct Consultations
The consultations provided can be in the form of video techniques, or other areas of expertise that appear on your channel - for example, someone who is planning to go to a certain area for a vacation might want to ask for your time to ask for tips on the order of places and events to visit.
Ansering fan questions
Sometimes really serious questions in the comments column are buried by unimportant comments - when in fact, what the audience wants to ask may have its own meaning. You can provide a "guaranteed answer" through a special paid support bundle for Q&A. Nozomi Tsuki, one of the VTubers who offers this content in her package, you know!
Fan shoutout/Fan service
Your loyal audience will be happy if their name is mentioned in your video, especially if, for example, a special sketch is made with their name in your video. Revina VT has a support bundle where she will mention the name of the paying supporter.
