Trying to create a few features similar to Lynda.com

Hi everyone,
I just started to build my first Drupal site about a month ago. Searching through the Drupal forums and Youtube videos have been very helpful in answering my questions to this point but I'm now still stuck trying to figure out how to setup a few features.

I want to build out a part of my Drupal site where users can create video courses (similar to Udemy). Then, paying premium members can view these video courses. The authors of the video courses will share the premium membership revenue based on the number of minutes their videos are viewed relative to the total number of minutes viewed for the entire site per month.
This is very similar to Lynda.com's business model.

There are three features I want to build in order to automate the process described above.
First, is there a module that allows users of the site to create video courses? I'm thinking I can simply provide fields that allow for video links to Youtube and Vimeo.
Second, is there a module that will automatically track the number of minutes a video is viewed relative to the total number of minutes viewed for all of the videos on the site?
Finally, is there a way to automatically distribute monthly revenue to the video authors based on the number of minutes their videos were viewed for the month?

Any feedback is much appreciated.

first - a custom content type would suffice I'd think.
second - no and not sure how you would handle this if the videos are on a 3rd party site
finally - no and partly due to second.

This doesn't do everything

This doesn't do everything you want but just as an illustration Videola is a Drupal based video sharing/selling platform.

Hope that helps

Thanks JK,
This looks like a great start! I'll try to implement Videola and customize around it as needed.

I appreciate the feedback,
