Step-by-Step: How to Start Hosting a Digital Screen with Hotcrowd

If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a better way to advertise than printing posters every week,” you’re absolutely right.

Hotcrowd makes it possible to phase out your paper ads for free and earn from every view by turning your storefront, salon, or restaurant into a digital powerhouse.

Whether you want to run your own promotions or host ads from other businesses, Hotcrowd offers flexible screen options designed to make advertising simple, automated, and profitable.

Here’s how to get started

Step 1: Understand What Hosting Means

Hosting a Hotcrowd digital screen means letting us install a bright, attention-grabbing digital display inside or outside your business.These screens play engaging content from local ads to Instagram reels while helping you earn passive income or promote your brand.

You choose how you want to use your screen:

  • To earn from ad revenue (zero-cost install), or
  • To control your own content (leased plan).

Step 2: Pick the Right Plan for You

Hotcrowd offers three flexible plans to match your business goals:

(A) Revenue Share Plan

Perfect for store owners who want effortless income.

  • Earn up to 30% of ad revenue monthly
  • Hotcrowd manages all bookings, payments, and content updates

Best for brands that want 100% of the screen time for themselves.

  • You lease the screen and control all the content
  • Fixed monthly cost based on screen size
