But it’s important to keep in mind that before choosing your niche it’s important to conduct research for parameters like key market players, demand, supply, growth factors, and so on. Conducting a detailed competitor analysis will also help you understand the video streaming market and OTT business in depth.

If your business has a USP, that’s another plus point! It is also advisable to check out various subscription plans, pricing, and business models of your competitors. That will give you detailed insights into how you can set your own.

2. Building Content 

Even though it has become such a cliche, but content was, is, and will always remain the king. Every business owner who plans on having OTT streaming services of their own should make content a top priority. It should match user expectations and be relevant to what your niche promises.

If you start creating exclusive content available on your OTT platform, it will increase your user retention. Besides creating highly valuable content, your OTT streaming services should always show personalized content according to user preferences. If you just get relevant suggestions based on their likings and what kind of content they usually prefer to consume, they’re most likely to get hooked to your platform. You can also create regional content for better and localized targetting. The rule of thumb is that your content should always have high quality and should be interactive and engaging.

3. Narrow Down Your Target Audience

Once you are done with your content creation strategy, it’s time to target who can benefit from your videos. The ultimate goal of every business relying on an OTT streaming service is to offer a quality experience to users that serve the purpose they want to fulfill. For example, if it’s a mystery TV show, the target audience is going to be mystery lovers that have watched similar shows. If it’s fitness, sports fanatics, gym freaks, and yoga lovers would be your right target audience.

4. Know The Necessary OTT Streaming Functionalities and Attributes

If you trying to formulate a successful OTT business plan, here are the functionality and features both advance and basic you must consider.

5. Creation of The OTT App and Website

Your app or website will handle support tickets and queries along with collecting payments. Having a website automatically increases customer trust to a manifold no matter what business it is. The same thing applies to OTT streaming services as well. Always remember that your website design should be responsive to maintaining a seamless user experience and cross-device uniformity.

• Transactional Model

The transactional model usually offers free sign-up but charges to allow access to content similar to pay per view. This model helps maximize short-term profits by holding a one-time payment and allowing users to download or own content.

• Advertisement Model

Features to look for in a OTT platform

Content Library – An OTT platform’s value and viewership is primarily decided by the content library. It is the collection of varied content range, originals, licensed content, curated on the basis of genre, languages and preference. The more diverse the content library, the higher are the chances of viewer retention and coming back for fresh content.

User interface – The user experience directly impacts the viewership and viewing experience. It is pretty frustrating to navigate a poorly designed UI. A well-designed interface makes the platform more engaging and user-friendly. Some features to work on include easy navigation, consistency across devices, easy customizations, and accessibility.

Personalization – A user is highly satisfied with an ott platform where the content is relevant and interesting as per preference. Personalization involves algorithms that recommend content as per user’s viewing history, choices and other factors. The more personalized content is, higher are the chances of user retention.

Downloads for offline viewing – Offline downloads allow downloading content to watch later without an internet connection. It’s a useful feature for those having limited access to the internet or while traveling such as flight and long commutes.

Parental controls – Many OTT platforms offer mature content and parents want to restrict access to certain content for their children. Parental controls restricts children from viewing certain content and allows parents or guardians to monitor their children’s viewing habits.

Audio quality – A good audio quality makes the content immersive and improves the viewing experience. Even good quality video content with poor audio makes it distracting and forces the viewers to watch some other content. Also those having hearing impairments require high-quality audio support.

Social media integrations – Easy social media integrations help promote the platform as users turn to social media to engage, share their experience and discover new content. Social media integrations have several advantages such as increased engagement, increased chances of getting user-generated content, better discoverability, brand presence and enhanced reach and marketing.

Conclusion

The rise of OTT platforms is relatively new and by now it’s clear that the trend is not going to go away anytime soon. In fact, it might be one of those evergreen trends that last till the end of times. Due to their evolutionary nature, its important to keep updated with the necessary prerequisites of OTT platforms.
