As a specialist or a skilled person, it can be hard to start your own business, especially if you don’t know many people who are willing to help you. Now, Facetiming, video calling has become a mainstream activity on smartphones, and many people prefer that. More and more people have started to choose Internet advice, but unfortunately, this can often lack accuracy and professional knowledge. Besides, it takes a lot of time to browse through all the content and choose which one to trust. What you might need instead is to get your business online through On.Live. 

Onlive is a platform that offers individuals the chance to earn money while providing any service through live services and broadcasts to anyone in the world. It could apply to cooking, financial advice, fitness, teaching and much more. Therefore, the vision for Onlive project is to revolutionize the markets of both video broadcasts and remote consultations in becoming the market leader in the live advising platform sector. 

The network within OnLive is a live video streaming protocol built on Blockchain technology.  _"The blockchain comes with a few advantages: full decentralization, high scalability and an open market for uncensored live media broadcasts from all over the world."_ (https://on.live/documents/OnLive_Whitepaper.pdf).  The system stores all information about all transactions made via the platform and also verifies the amount of ONL’s and the settlements between users. 

A full decentralization supported by the blockchain technology means that any intermediaries and censorship are removed. For instance, instead of traveling to another country for high-quality medical advice, thanks to OnLive, you can have the doctor’s recommendation from any country, at the comfort of your home. We are talking about three different markets, all in one platform: Live broadcast (wider audience), Live services (1:1, 1:8), Transcoding and Relay nodes. 

#### Who is involved?
•    _Creators_ or service providers who possess the knowledge and can offer it via the platform will create a personal channel where they can sell live services or broadcast   

•    _Transcoders_ and relay nodes will utilize their computing power for video transcoding, transmission, transactions, encryptions  

•    _Customers_ look for professional advice for their problems, choose a program/channel they want to access and pay for completed services 

The best thing about Onlive is that anyone who has access to the Internet can get involved and become a user on the platform: doctors, chefs, teachers, lawyers, music producer and even companies or large enterprises. Moreover, the service provider can decide how to collect fees: Pay per View, Pay per Minute, Subscription Plans, etc. 

All the platform participants will use ONL tokens to pay the following: broadcasters for their content, one to one live video services, transcoding, and relay nodes services. This is the only payment method possible through OnLive Network.  

A maximum supply of 111 million tokens will be available on the platform of which more than a half (55%) will be sold during the ICO. It’s still not too late to take part in the crowdsale, but take note that this will end on the 11th of April 2018.
