Above adverts, syndication is another option. You can choose to allow your videos to be shown anywhere on the web, earning pay in the process. This is also an excellent way to increase the spread of your video content with trusted affiliates.

• Vimeo

Unlike Youtube Vimeo, content creators make up to $260 per 1000 views. This revenue is not based on pre-loaded ads that pop while streaming the video, instead of by actual sales based on subscription and renting. To get the most out of your video, you would need to use a service offered by Vimeo know as video on demand (VOD). 

You earn by either getting direct downloads or streams from a VOD subscriber or by outright sales. This platform is ideal for artists, trailer videos of movies, premium content creators. There are actually no guarantees you can earn money from your Vimeo video if you as a content creator is dependent on free Vimeo users as currently, Vimeo doesn't encourage ads, unlike Youtube. 

Additionally, Vimeo lets creators focus primarily on their content, so you could live all the promo and technical stuff to them. This particular service is meant for Vimeo content creators using VIMEO OTT.

Fortunately, you can still earn money from your videos outside the daily motion's website. All you need to do is copy the embed code from the Daily Motion Player and embed them on your website or any other webpage. Pr

Requirements On Getting Accepted To Monetise Your Post on Top Video Sharing Sites

1. Always post unique videos created by you to avoid plagiarism (copying of other people's contents as your own) as Google and other service providers disapproves of this act.
2. Make sure your videos are of high quality because potential viewers would subscribe and recommend your channel if they love what they see. Remember you are not the only one posting on YT. So if you want to rise above the competition, make the best out of your contemporaries.
3. Your page on Youtube shouldn't be unclassified, you can decide to make videos about Lazy Cats, How to do this and that, etc. People who visit your page for the first time are likely to subscribe to your channel if they like what they see and know that your page is all about something of their interest. With time your fanbase on Youtube and others would increase which means more views and invariably more money in the future.
4. Update your profile pieces of information carefully, including legal names and corresponding DP's and Cover Photos for faster approvals and professional feels.
