YouTube Alternatives Opinions and Experience

I Love YTtalk
So I've been contacted lately by Newsflare, Rumble, and Storyful about a couple of my videos. Time for an updated refresher on everyone's experience using licensing sites like these. These are not YouTube partnerships, they are licensing companies which is different. I have a made a lot of money on Rumble.com but haven't really tried any of the other sites. I'm interested to see other people's experiences with licensing sites.

What sites did you use and do you think it was worth it? Would you work with them again?

I do a lot of dog videos and Rumble likes dog videos. So far they have been pretty profitable for me and I would recommend them if you have videos that fit their style. With Rumble the non exclusive license also means I maintain 100% control of my YouTube videos, they just have licensing options for the video on their own platform. They have other options that I've had no success with so far, but I know a couple people who have made a lot per video using the other licensing options.

I'm trying Storyful out with one video, I just sent it to them last night so I'll see how that goes.

Newsflare just emailed me, they seem to take a high percentage of the money so I'm not sure I will work with them yet unless somebody in here has good reviews of them.

Anyways, if you have any good or bad experiences licensing videos, I think it would help us all to share. So far Rumble has been solid for me, but I'm ready for some adventure to see if other sites may be better.

I've made in the thousands with Rumble doing their Non Exclusive licenses. With this they buy non exclusive rights to your video. This means you still own all rights to it, but you CAN'T sell an exclusive license to any other company until you break your agreement. This means you can sell other non exclusive licenses to other companies and Rumble can use the video the same way. Rumble will normally post to other websites from what I have seen and get ad revenue to make their share of money. I have always got upfront payments for this type of license, but things change over time and I haven't been doing too much video stuff lately. I was surprised how much I got for some of my videos compared to the YouTube versions.

It sounds like some other sites like Viralspiral, Storyful, and others actually market your videos and try to sell them to companies for commercials and stuff like that. I tried one with Viralspiral with no luck so far, but these recent messages made me curious about other companies. So far Rumble has been the most profitable with my dog videos.

lobos82. They would definitely like your videos. My friend has some dog/baby videos that she has licensed, yours would probably do WAY better. Just read the licensing info before you do anything

I haven't used Rumble too often in a while. They changed some licensing stuff and I have just been busy. I think I have seen some of your stuff on there if I'm not mistaken. If somebody else uploaded your stuff and not you I would contact them. Somebody uploaded one of my videos to Break.com and I claimed it and got all of their views and earnings. I only knew somebody stole it when I got a Facebook message saying I'm famous one day...

I hate that when they do that. I had one video get uploaded that got like a million views in one day but they just ripped it onto facebook instead of posting a link to my video. Damn 100 mil though!
