Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm excited to launch LongerShorts, a platform that helps creators monetize their short-form videos directly through custom paywalls.
The Problem I've noticed how online articles and courses let users preview content before hitting a paywall - yet this proven model is rarely applied to video. Creators struggle to monetize short-form videos on traditional platforms that either require massive audiences or lack direct monetization options. LongerShorts uniquely combines free previews and paywalls in one seamless solution, letting creators demonstrate value before viewers subscribe.
Our Solution LongerShorts lets creators set a paywall at any point in their videos. Viewers get free previews, then can subscribe for $3/month to access full content from their favorite creators. Creators can link to videos from their existing social media platforms. (Reddit/X/Insta)
Key Features: - ✅ Free uploads for creators - ✅ Custom paywall placement in videos - ✅ $3 monthly subscription per creator (75% goes to creators) - ✅ Clean, distraction-free viewing experience - ✅ Simple subscription management
What's Next: - Custom pricing - Enhanced analytics - Lower platform fees as we scale - More free content as we scale
I built LongerShorts as a solo developer to solve a real problem for content creators. I'd love your feedback and suggestions as I continue developing the platform!
Call to Action Try it out and let me know what you think! Whether you're a creator looking to monetize your content, a viewer wanting to support creators directly, or have ideas on growing our user base - I'd love your feedback!
