📈 AI Talk TV — Weekly Show Monetization Plan
Platform Strategy:
- LinkedIn Live: ideal for professional credibility, high-value B2B audience, better for lead gen than direct monetization.
- YouTube Live: strong monetization options (Super Chat, memberships, long-tail SEO + replay).
You’ll use LinkedIn primarily for visibility and lead capture, and YouTube for engagement + revenue capture.

📌 Monetization Mechanics (Platform Returns)
💸 YouTube Live
- Super Chats / Super Stickers: You get ~70% of revenue after fees.
- Channel Memberships: You keep ~70% (platform fees apply).
Use this mainly for early access or replay perks; main membership is your own.
💼 LinkedIn Live
- No native paid features — your CTA drives to your own offers.
Important: LinkedIn excels at sales conversations, not direct streaming monetization.
