In keeping pace with the new normal due to the COVID-19 pandemic social distancing restrictions, videoconferencing app Zoom has introduced OnZoom, a comprehensive solution for paid Zoom users to create, host, and monetize events like fitness classes, concerts, tutorial lessons and music lessons on the Zoom Meetings platform
The OnZoom platform specifically helps businesses and entrepreneurs:
- Schedule and host one-time events, an event series, and drop-ins for up to 1,000 attendees (depending on your Zoom Meeting license)
- List and sell tickets
- Share and promote public events via email and social media
- Reach new audiences beyond a business geographical location
Zoom users can log in to their OnZoom account and:
- Search the directory of public events and purchase tickets online
- Pay for events via PayPal and major credit cards
- Purchase and gift OnZoom tickets to their friends and family
- Natively donate to nonprofit organizations through events with active fundraisers (powered by Pledgeling)
- Join an event
- Favorite, share, and rate events
It is important to note that paid events must have a ticket price of at least $1.00 and they cannot be created more than 29 days prior to the event date.
The initial beta is only available to US users with events being promoted on the site for launch priced between free and $50. I do believe it will be rolled out globally in the coming months.
