EXPANDED MARKETING PROPOSAL · PREPARED FOR SPORTSEDTV · JUNE 2026

The library is built. Now build
the revenue infrastructure
to match.

SportsEdTV has done something almost no one in sports media has done — a global, multilingual instructional library trusted by FIBA, the China Basketball Association, and SHAPE America's 200,000 PE professionals. The next chapter is converting that institutional credibility into recurring B2B contracts, paid membership LTV, and FAST channel ad revenue at compounding rates.

I The Argument

From content authority to recurring revenue infrastructure.

SportsEdTV spent the first chapter winning the hardest fight in sports media: assembling the only multilingual instructional library that Olympic federations, equipment brands, and national education bodies all separately decided was worth being attached to.

FIBA signed up for Chinese-language basketball instruction. SHAPE America — the governing body for PE in the United States — gave 200,000 educators free access to your library in May 2026. Signature Media built a $100M+ hybrid sponsorship inventory on top of your audience in September 2025. RSPA and Völkl tied tennis equipment to your tennis programming in January 2026. None of those came in through a discount banner.

What's emerged, looking at the deal sequence honestly, is that the library is no longer the bet. The library is the foundation. The bet is whether SportsEdTV can build the institutional engine, the paid-membership ladder, and the FAST advertising stack that turn that foundation into compounding revenue at the pace the next twelve months requires.

“Three institutional wins in eighteen months is signal. The question is whether the fourth, fifth, and twentieth come the same way they came — inbound, partner-driven, slowly — or whether they come through a system you can pace, price, and predict.” AYMI · Working Hypothesis

This proposal is the system. It's organized around the three motions that already exist inside SportsEdTV (B2B institutional, paid B2C membership, FAST/CTV monetization) and named honestly about what's missing in each.

II Where You Are · Where This Takes You

Seven axes. Each one is already working. Each one is missing its system.

The honest current-state vs. next-state read on the operating shape of SportsEdTV's growth engine.

Today
Next
Content distribution
Free, ad-supported library on owned channels (web, app, YouTube). FAST channel launched May 2025 via FreeLiveSports.tv across Roku, Fire TV, VIZIO, iOS, Android.
Every video is a routed asset — tagged to a measured funnel, attributed to membership, B2B, or AVOD revenue, no longer just a content drop.
B2B institutional motion
Hand-built federation and education deals: FIBA, China Basketball Association, SHAPE America. Each one a custom origination story, none of them repeatable.
A named ICP list of 200+ federations, education bodies, and equipment brands with an outbound + nurture + pilot-to-contract pipeline. Multi-year, high-ticket, the unit economics that fund everything else.
Paid membership
MYSportsEdTV community tier exists. Free → paid conversion is intuitive, not engineered. No tested ladder, no segmentation, no measured LTV anchor.
A tested ladder from anonymous viewer → registered free → engaged free → paid — each step measured to cost-per-paid-start and LTV, not signups.
FAST · CTV monetization
FreeLiveSports.tv channel live since May 2025. Audience exists; demand-side optimization, advertiser-direct deals, and AVOD CPM lift are still on the table.
Programmatic + advertiser-direct demand stack that compounds CPM as watch-time grows. The FAST channel becomes a media business, not a distribution lever.
Multilingual reach
Language pockets per partnership — Chinese for the FIBA / China Basketball Association engagement. Other languages exist but aren't systematically expanded.
Geo-language expansion priced to institutional partner LTV. Spanish for tennis in LATAM, Portuguese for Brazil, Arabic for football academies — each opens a federation lane.
Instructor / talent flywheel
Olympic champions, professional athletes, and named coaches appear in the content. Their audiences are not systematically pulled toward SportsEdTV.
An instructor co-marketing engine: every named talent gets a co-branded launch motion that funnels their audience to your library and your paid tier.
Authority · analyst surface
Sponsorship Power Score launched December 2025 — a proprietary ROI measurement tool. Lives on your site, not yet widely cited.
Earned media, analyst relations, and thought leadership anchored on the Power Score and your three institutional wins — the compounding asset that makes the fourth federation deal cheaper than the third.
III Directional Growth Benchmarks

What good looks like across the three motions.

Anchored on AYMI's closest verified motion-analogues (NBA, A24, Quicken). Sports instructional video carries its own seasonality and federation cycle — directional, not promised.

B2C · Paid membership starts
+220%
Anchor: subscription-LTV motion (Quicken: +350% premium subs, −48% CAC, 4.1× LTV). Measured to cost-per-paid-membership-start, not signups.
B2B · Institutional pilots
+180%
Anchor: federation / international engagement (NBA: +420% digital engagement, +280% merchandise, 3.5× international reach). Measured to cost-per-pilot-contract.
FAST · AVOD revenue per session
+140%
Anchor: content-led audience compounding (A24: +320% social engagement, 87% retention, 4.2× digital ROI). Measured to CPM and watch-time-per-session.
Targets are directional and assume the Growth System engagement shape executed across the first six months. Conservative case sits at roughly 60% of these figures; aggressive scenarios pull faster on B2B once a federation pilot closes.
IV Three Audiences SportsEdTV Already Serves

Different ladders. Different KPIs. One library.

The growth system is built around three distinct buyers, each with their own conversion path. The mistake would be running them through the same funnel.

B2C · END-USER
The Self-Coaching Athlete
Adult enthusiast in tennis, basketball, golf, or one of the long-tail sports. Mobile-first, multilingual, comes for one skill drill, stays for the library.
JobGet better at the sport they care about, on their own schedule, in their own language.
TriggerA specific skill problem — serve toss, free throw, short game. Searches it. Finds you.
PathFree video → registered free → MYSportsEdTV community member → engaged paid → renewing paid.
KPICost-per-paid-membership-start; 90-day membership retention.
B2B · INSTITUTIONAL
The PE / Athletic Director
SHAPE America-shaped: K–12 PE department head, school district athletic director, university athletic department. Evaluates content quality, reporting, multilingual support, and safe-for-students compliance.
JobEquip their staff with credible, professional-grade instruction without building it in-house.
TriggerCurriculum review cycle. Peer referral. Conference floor.
PathAuthority content → consult / demo → pilot (single school / department) → district-wide contract → multi-year renewal.
KPICost-per-pilot-contract; pilot-to-district conversion rate.
B2B · STRATEGIC
The Federation · Equipment Partner
FIBA-shaped: national or international sport federation, equipment brand (Völkl, RSPA), sponsorship aggregator (Signature Media). Evaluates audience scale, talent access, multi-year integration potential.
JobReach an audience of practitioners they can't reach on their own — with content credibility they don't have to manufacture.
TriggerMember growth target, equipment seeding strategy, league development mandate, sponsorship inventory build-out.
PathAuthority surface → relationship origination → scoped pilot → multi-year licensing + co-branded content + sponsorship.
KPICost-per-strategic-partnership; 3-year-contract LTV.
V The Most Important Expansion

Build the Institutional Engine first. It funds and accelerates everything else.

All three of your strongest existing wins — FIBA, China Basketball Association, SHAPE America — came in through inbound or partnership origination. There is no repeatable outbound + nurture + pilot-to-contract pipeline for the institutional motion. That's the asset to build first.

Why the institutional motion gets built first:

The five-layer engine SportsEdTV needs — institutional motion as the anchor
I
Authority · the surface that does the heavy lifting
Sponsorship Power Score · thought leadership · analyst relations
II
Demand · D2C and B2B running in parallel, separately tuned
Paid social · SEO · ABM outbound · conference presence
III
Conversion · paid-membership start, pilot-contract close, FAST advertiser deal
CRO · sales enablement · pricing architecture
IV
Activation · the first 90 days that determine whether they stay
Onboarding · engagement scoring · multi-stakeholder buy-in
V
Lifecycle · renewals, expansions, multi-vertical cross-sell
Member LTV ladder · federation-to-federation referral · multi-year contract motion
VI The Channel Systems

Five engines. Each one tied to a measured outcome.

VI.01 · The B2B Institutional Engine

Build the pipeline that turns inbound luck into a repeatable motion.

  • 01ICP · tier list. Named target accounts in three buckets: federations (FIBA / IOC member federations), education (state PE associations, large districts, university athletic departments), equipment + sponsorship aggregators.
  • 02Authority origination. The Sponsorship Power Score becomes the wedge. Custom score reports for the top 50 federations and the top 100 districts as the cold-warm conversion asset.
  • 03Outbound · nurture. Multi-touch sequenced outreach from a named sender (Robert / Victor / a relevant operator). Voicemail drop after touch three. Pilot-offer warmup at touch five.
  • 04Conference presence. SHAPE America, NCAA conferences, federation-side trade shows. Speaking slots seeded with the Power Score research.
  • 05Pilot → contract conversion. A scoped, time-boxed, success-criteria-bound pilot template that converts to multi-year contracts at a measured rate.
  • 06Dashboard. Cost-per-pilot-contract; pilot-to-contract conversion rate; 3-year LTV by federation type.
VI.02 · The D2C Demand Engine

Convert "interested in the sport" into measured paid-membership LTV.

  • 01Paid social. Meta + TikTok creator-led video, sport-by-sport, skill-by-skill. Tuned to cost-per-paid-membership-start, not impressions.
  • 02SEO · content. Skill-query SEO at scale — you already rank for tennis, basketball, and golf instructional queries. Architecting that into a system that compounds is the unlock.
  • 03YouTube as ToFu. Treat the YouTube channel as the top of the membership funnel, not as a separate destination. Every video card-routed to a paid-tier benefit.
  • 04Lifecycle. A tested ladder — new free → engaged free → trial → paid → renewing — each step measured.
  • 05Multilingual. Spanish → Portuguese → Mandarin → Arabic, prioritized by the size of the institutional partner LTV in each language.
  • 06Dashboard. Cost-per-paid-start; 30 / 60 / 90-day membership retention; LTV by acquisition source.
VI.03 · The FAST · CTV Revenue Engine

The FAST channel is a media business now. Operate it like one.

  • 01Demand stack. SSP / DSP integration audit, header bidding configuration, fill-rate vs. CPM curve mapped per device (Roku / Fire TV / VIZIO / mobile).
  • 02Advertiser direct. Built-out advertiser roster across sport-endemic categories (apparel, equipment, performance nutrition, sports tech) — the higher-CPM tier programmatic can't price.
  • 03Watch-time engineering. Programming the channel for session length, not just initial tune-in. Mid-session retention is the AVOD-CPM lever.
  • 04Dashboard. AVOD CPM by demand source; watch-time-per-session; advertiser direct sell-through rate.
VI.04 · The Lifecycle · Retention System

First 90 days inside a membership decide the next 24 months.

  • 01Onboarding. Sport-of-interest detection → skill goal → first-week curated playlist. Measured to day-7 engagement, not registration.
  • 02Cross-vertical cross-sell. Tennis members are tomorrow's golf members. Engineered, not hoped for.
  • 03Renewal sequences. Pre-renewal value reminders, lapse-recovery flows, win-back campaigns for the most engaged churned members.
  • 04Dashboard. Day-7 / 30 / 90 / 365 retention; net revenue retention; cross-vertical adoption rate.
VI.05 · The Authority Engine

Sponsorship Power Score, named talent, and earned media as a compounding asset.

  • 01Sponsorship Power Score productization. A public-facing tool, a quarterly index report, an analyst-accessible methodology. The asset that makes you cited.
  • 02Named-talent co-marketing. Every Olympic champion and named coach in the library gets a co-branded launch — their audience routed to your library, your paid tier, and the federation surface.
  • 03Earned media. AdAge, Sports Business Journal, Front Office Sports as deliberate placement targets — not a press release strategy.
  • 04Dashboard. Earned mentions by tier (trade / sport / mainstream); analyst report citations; inbound institutional-lead share attributable to authority surface.

The investment for each is held for the scoping call — we'd rather decide together what's in scope first, then price it once the answer is real.
VIII Recommendation

Growth System. Six-month sprint. Institutional Engine as the anchor.

SportsEdTV doesn't need more content. The content is the asset that gets every other deal done. What's missing is the system around the content — the named ICP outreach, the pilot-to-contract conversion mechanic, the paid-membership ladder, the FAST monetization stack.

The Growth System engagement shape gives you one strategist running the institutional motion (where the unit economics are best) and one paid acquisition lead running the D2C demand motion (where the volume comes from), both reading from the same AI dashboard. The institutional contract that closes in month four funds the content production that powers the membership engine in month eight. That's the compounding architecture.

The Foundation tier works if SportsEdTV wants to start narrower — institutional motion only, B2C deferred — and prove the institutional pipeline before adding the consumer engine. The Full Authority OS becomes the right shape once the institutional motion is producing reliable pipeline and the Power Score has been productized to the point it deserves a managed analyst practice.

IX The First 90 Days

What gets built in the first ninety days after kickoff.

30
Days 1–30 · Audit + Build

Land the system. Name what's measured.

  • ICP tier list locked: 50 federation / education / sponsorship targets, named accounts, named contacts.
  • Sponsorship Power Score productization audit — what ships externally, what stays internal, the publishing cadence.
  • D2C funnel diagnosis: current free → paid conversion rate, where the leakage is, the three highest-leverage fixes.
  • FAST channel demand-stack audit: current fill rate, current CPM by demand source, the lift available.
  • Dashboard built — institutional pipeline, D2C funnel, FAST monetization, lifecycle — all in one place.
60
Days 31–60 · Engine Live

The Institutional Engine fires its first sequence. The D2C engine starts spending.

  • First institutional outbound sequence in market — Power Score reports as the warmup, scoping call as the goal.
  • First Meta + TikTok paid social tests live, sport-by-sport, tuned to cost-per-paid-membership-start.
  • SEO architecture mapped — the skill-query topic clusters that should compound over twelve months.
  • Lifecycle ladder v1 in production: onboarding, day-7 engagement, day-30 reactivation, lapse-recovery.
90
Days 61–90 · Optimize + Compound

Read the data. Double down where it's working.

  • First institutional pilot in motion — the proof point that the outbound system actually works.
  • D2C creative library scaled on the winning angles, multilingual expansion sequenced to institutional partner geography.
  • FAST advertiser-direct outreach started, demand stack tuned, first month of AVOD CPM lift measurable.
  • Authority engine first earned placement — Power Score-anchored, trade-press first, mainstream second.
  • Executive review: what's working, what's underperforming, where the next 90 days lean in.
X Proof

The closest motion-analogues in our library.

SportsEdTV's combination of multilingual content authority, federation B2B licensing, paid subscription LTV, and ad-supported FAST distribution doesn't have a one-to-one analogue. These three engagements are the closest by motion.

Transparently noted

AYMI has not yet published a named multilingual instructional sports media case study. The three engagements above are the closest motion-analogues in our library and the right reference points for the systems we'd build for SportsEdTV. We've named that gap on purpose rather than retrofit a less honest claim.

XI A Compounding Authority

The library is the foundation. The engine is what comes next.

SportsEdTV is the rare sports media company where the hardest part — the content, the multilingual delivery, the federation trust, the named talent — is already in place. What's left is the engineering: the outbound system that turns three institutional wins into thirty, the paid-membership ladder that turns library viewers into renewing members, the FAST stack that turns watch-time into CPM lift, and the authority surface that makes every next deal cheaper than the last.

That's the work AYMI does best. We'd like to walk through it with you.

Next step — a scoping call.

One 45-minute conversation: which motion gets weight first, what the next 90 days actually look like, and what the right engagement shape is for SportsEdTV's current chapter. We'll come with the dashboard sketch, the ICP first cut, and the questions on the Editorial Notes page below.
