You can turn your TV into a revenue stream by connecting it to the Beam dashboard, uploading content, and enabling ad placements. Beam allows you to monetize screen time by displaying targeted ads between your content, generating income based on plays, location, and campaign activity.

What Does It Mean to Monetize Your TV?

Monetizing your TV means using your screen to display advertising content that generates revenue. Instead of showing only your business content, your TV becomes part of a network that delivers ads to a targeted audience.

With Beam, this process is managed through a centralized dashboard where you control what plays, when it plays, and how revenue is generated.

Here’s how it works

Beam provides a centralized dashboard that manages your screens, content, and ad activity in one place. You need to: 

• Connect your TV to the Beam platform

• Upload or assign content to your screen

• Enable ad injection time within your playlist

• Earn revenue based on ad delivery and plays

To start running ads and generating revenue, you’ll need to set up campaigns correctly.
