There are so many activities which happens in day to day life which can be captured and shared in a community. This is the reason which made youtube so popular in no time. but what do you get with your effort… nothing!!! Now think what if you are getting paid for doing the same activity. That’s where Revver comes in the picture. Revver.com provides an opportunity to earn revenue from each and every video through revenue sharing system. Here is an abstract from the website:
“Revver is the first viral video network that pays. They connect makers, sharers, and sponsors of internet video in a free and open marketplace that rewards them for doing what they do best.
How it works
It’s really simple: you upload a video to Revver, and they attach an ad and their unique tracking technology to “Revverize” the video. Any ad revenue generated by your video is split 50/50 between you and Revver. Since ads are attached to the video itself and dynamically served wherever your video travels, there’s no restriction on how your videos are distributed. The more people email your video, post it to other websites or download it from P2P networks, the more money you could earn.
You can then track your video’s performance through your Revver account, which tells you exactly how many times your video is watched, and how much money you’re earning.
To increase the value of the entire Revver network, they also reward people for sharing videos. You can earn 20% of ad revenue for sharing videos by other Revver members. The remaining revenue is split 50/50 between the maker and Revver.”
Doesnt it look interesting. Even if you don’t have anything to post, you are free to promote video posted by other member and get paid for the same.
You have an option to view the video by different parameters like Most Watched, Highest rated and most responses and all parameters are further classified into Weekly / Monthly and All time. Again they categorize each video in different category. To name a few it is Animals and pets, Animation, Lifestyle, Music, Travel, Video Games, Comedy etc.
How do you earn
Its the same way, Advertisement. They serve advertisement attached with each video. The advertisement could be of two types, CPM wherein you get paid on impression and CPC wherein you get paid only when someone clicks on an advertisement. Broadly there are 3 places where ad comes, one is before video plays second is when playback begins (served in the bottom 20% of the video window) and third is at the end of your videos. However they give an option if you don’t want first two types of advertisement to appear in your video.
Below is an abstract from the website:
“Revver is all about empowering makers and sharers of video by providing easy tools for distribution and sharing revenue with our members.
When you upload your video to Revver, we attach an advertisement and our unique tracking technology to it. We call this “Revverizing.” There are two ways that your video and the associated ad can generate revenue: from impressions/views of the ad (CPM ads), and from clicks on the ad (CPC ads). When a viewer sees a CPM ad associated with your video, you get paid, no click required. When a viewer clicks on a CPC ad associated with your video, you get paid. In both cases, Revver splits the revenue with you 50/50. Please note that not every impression or click will result in revenue, as some advertisers only buy traffic from the US and Canada, and also multiple repeated impressions or clicks from a single user on a single video are scrubbed as duplicates.
You can track video’s performance through your Revver account, which tells you exactly how many times your video is watched, and how much money you’re earning.
Since ads are attached to the video itself, there’s no restriction on how your videos are distributed. The more people email your video, post it to other websites or download it from P2P networks, the more money you could earn.
To increase the value of the entire Revver network, we also reward people for sharing videos. You can earn 20% of ad revenue for sharing videos by other Revver members. The remaining revenue is split 50/50 between the maker and Revver.”
Uploading video is not so cumbersome, they display the progress bar which makes the process easy. After uploading they review each video to check its originality and other guidelines. Once found satisfactory, your video gets added to the site. As per the site information, it takes upto 24 hours to get your video approved but normally it takes 2-4 hours of time.
They do have limitation on the size of video which is maximum of 100 MB, however they dont have restriction on number of videos you can submit. So pick up your camcorder and get ready for shot…
