Introduction

The Vidflex™ Packages features offer your audience an exclusive tier of access to a group of videos after paying a one time fee. As your channel grows and the more videos you upload, the easier it is to create and sell packages. If a viewer likes a group of your videos, this benefit ensures they avoid paying for each video individually.

Target a specific audience with a package of a particular category for purchase. With quality content and an engaged audience the probability of your viewers coming back and pay for similar videos increases greatly.
