How To Build Your Own Roku Channel


TV Boss Roku Channel Software

Ever thought of having your own Roku channel?

Roku is the world leader in on-demand TV, with 26 million viewers in US, plus many millions more around the world, and short of appearing on Oprah, launching a channel is currently the fastest way to get in front of a huge audience.


Previously, due to the high costs and technical complexity, creating Roku channels used to be the playground of big, cashed-up companies such as Netflix, Disney, or Hulu Plus, but with the release of a new piece of software called TV Boss, you can now easily launch your own channels, and even offer channel-creation and management as a service to your customers.

Why Build Your Own Roku TV Channel?

Rather than just dive into it, it's a good idea to take a deep breath and consider first your reasons for building a channel. Are you after TV advertising income, or traffic, or maybe you want to make a living or supplement your income by running a channel-creation service?

Here's what having your own Roku TV channel gives you and your clients:
  • Income from Day One
    In a click or two you setup the TV advertising. Get paid straight into your PayPal account. Advertisers are willing to pay many TIMES more for TV ads than for website or YouTube ads. How much more? You can count on $12 to $14 for every 1,000 ad displays, and more for the interactive ads.
     
  • Authority
    Be the leader in your industry. This otherwise takes 5 year or more, but only weeks with the TV channel.
     
  • Traffic
    New Roku TV channels typically receive up to 10,000 subscribers in the first month alone, simple because they’re there – without any promotion whatsoever.


What do You Need to Build Your Roku Channels?

To start building your Roku channels, you only need 3 things:
  1. TV Boss, to launch and manage Roku TV channels
  2. Roku player (one-off purchase, the price depends of the model), and
  3. Vimeo Pro, or some other video hosting/streaming service.
TV Boss installs on your website, but if you do not have one, for a small fee TV Boss authors allow you to use their dedicated server in Kansas City in US.
Installing TV Boss is a breeze: you upload the zip to your website, unzip it and run it. Like a boss!
Perhaps even more important is what you do NOT need to build Roku channels:
  • You do not need any technical expertise, and
  • You do not need a big budget.
Amazingly, thanks to Creative Commons videos or content syndication, you do not even need to create the videos yourself, unless you want to.

What are the Steps Involved?

To have your first Roku channel up and running, follow these steps:
  1. Unless you already have a Roku device, buy one and open a free account with Roku
  2. Get TV Boss, upload it to your website, unzip it, and specify the username/password that you want to use
  3. In your Roku account, Developer Site, click on Add Channel, fill out the details, and specify the content feed URL that TV Boss gives you.
That's really all there is to it!
Your channel will be up and running immediately as a private one. Watch the training videos that come with TV Boss to brand your channel and make sure everything looks perfect. At that stage you'd need to open a Vimeo Pro account (or get some other video streaming service) so that you can replace the TV Boss placeholder videos with your own, add few more videos, and ask Roku to approve your channel as a public channel.

Summary

Up until recently, creating TV channels on Roku was expensive, time-consuming and technically very challenging. The new TV Boss software takes away all the technical complexity, and makes building a Roku channel fast, easy and affordable.

The ability to launch and manage TV channels for your clients makes TV Boss very different from other products – it’s an entire BUSINESS.

Step-by-step training videos that come with TV Boss guide you through all the aspects of creating Roku channels. Furthermore, the TV Boss authors provide comprehensive support, and run the vibrant private Mastermind Forum where you benefit from all the collective experience of other Roku channel owners.
