Hello,

With today's update, we are granting the wish of a few channels: gift codes.

Gift codes

• You can now share any monetized video or post by creating a gift code for your viewer to redeem.
• Currently, this is limited to posts; gifting subscriptions are not possible yet.
  • Please let us know what you think! Discount codes? Trial version of subscriptions? Anything else? - And why - as this is critical for prioritizing futures updates. Of course everyone wants everything ;)
• Contact us for an exception regarding gift codes fees.

Primary Channel Video

And in case you missed it, you can now select a primary channel video.
Open your Account settings and select a primary video.
This video will always be shown if a member visits your main channel page.

We continue to bring you more bug fixes and minor changes such as new icons. We are also fine-tuning our video renderer, resulting in better video quality if the source video has a lot of pixel noise.

Useful links:

• Your channel's gift codes
• Help page: Creating gift codes

What's next?

If all goes well, the next update will focus on full channel customization! Think about a website builder for your channel. - Stay tuned!

Hello,

Today's update introduces the recently released notification center - accessible over the bell icon on the top.

For content creators, we introduce a brand new dashboard, replacing the old settings page.

The dashboard shows you the number of views, preview views, sales, and profits created. It also provides you with all links needed to change or verify any settings.
All notification messages previously sent to your mail inbox got moved to the new notification area.

The dashboard also features some graphs showing you your revenue, fans and viewa over time. Data collection for this graphs was enabled a week ago, so that is how far the data goes back.

Privacy statement: All data is collected inside WatchFighters, and not referenced with any 3rd party products like google analytics or similar. As a viewer and creator, you can ensure that no data will be sold or moved to any system outside WatchFighters.

The current dashboard is the first step to provide you with more feedback on how your videos are performing in the long term. We plan to extend the capabilities in the following weeks and months to come.

On top of that, we added more minor changes, bug fixes, and improvements in the past weeks.

Best Regards
WatchFighters
