Get paid for the TV already on your wall
RedSquare lets bars, restaurants, barbershops and gyms sell ad time on the screen they already have to local advertisers. No new hardware, no subscription.
Every screen that joins makes the network more valuable for everyone on it: screen owners and advertisers are both early members, helping it reach the size where it pays off. Paid ad time opens once the network reaches 50 screens and payments are set up. When it does, payments will be made with PayPal.
Screen owning is a new side hustle, and you're early. Your owner account is also an advertiser account, so you can advertise your own business free on the other screens in the network while we grow. Your screen, your rules: approve ads yourself or automatically, set your hours, and pause any time.
How it works for screen owners
1. Install the free Screen Player
It runs on a smart TV, streaming stick or computer. It is built for Android TV, Fire TV, Roku, Samsung, LG, Apple TV, Windows, macOS and Linux; the download page shows which you can install today.
2. Pair it in one trip to the TV
The TV shows a pairing code. Type it at Add a screen in the RedSquare app, fill in one short form, and verify the location from your phone.
3. Set your price and hours
You set a price per 10-second play and the hours your screen takes bookings, in your own timezone. Change either at any time.
4. Decide what plays
Approve each booking yourself, or let bookings through automatically. Every ad is moderated before it can play.
5. Keep 80%
When paid ad time opens, you keep 80% of the screen-time price; RedSquare's fee is 20%. Payment processing is paid by the advertiser as its own line, so your 80% is a true 80%, and payouts will go through PayPal. Until then every booking is free, and you can advertise your own business free on the other screens.
What you do not need
- New hardware — the screen you have is the screen you use
- A subscription — the app and the Screen Player are free
- A second account — the same login lets you advertise too
