Best Video Monetization Platforms

As media viewing increasingly shifts from TV to the internet, cord-cutting is becoming dominant. In particular, traditional broadcast media is increasingly shifting to OTT (Over-The-Top) content.

 Best Video Monetization Platforms

Let’s have a quick look at some of the best and most effective ways of monetizing your video content.

 

Facebook Ad-Break

 

Ad breaks are short ads that appear before or during longer-form videos on Facebook that build loyal fan followings. Publishers and creators decide which videos they want to monetize, and we tailor the ad experience to the viewer based on where they're watching... which could be in News Feed, on your Pages, in a Group, or on Watch. There are three types of ad breaks today - mid-roll, pre-roll, and image ads.

 

IGTV

 

Instagram, which is still the world’s most popular social media platform, took the world by storm. The next step was introducing its streaming service, IGTV. Unlike the usual Instagram video format (short videos, no longer than one minute),

 

IGTV lets users submit considerably lengthier, vertical videos. In other words, videos meant to be watched on smartphones. As of last year, this service allows videos with both horizontal and vertical orientation.

 

Vimeo

 

It’s funny how powerful a brand name can be. When someone says Vimeo, people usually instantly know that everyone’s talking about an alternative to YouTube. In this case, it isn’t just about excellent marketing; it’s also about a high-quality product.

 

And that’s just what it is - a service that offers high-quality video streaming solutions for top-class videos. Bear in mind that such quality entails a different pricing model to YouTube’s (you can interpret it as a more expensive kind of deal). However, you can view content with considerably fewer visual distractions.

 

Dailymotion

 

As a public video service, Dailymotion is likely the most similar YouTube alternative. If you’re looking to migrate your video content, this platform is a gratifying solution. You might encounter some drawbacks, but, generally, Dailymotion is a safe and reliable platform for creating and sharing content.

 

The service also offers decent monetization options.

 

YouTube

 

This is one of the best and most favorite methods for Video Creator. YouTube monetization is fairly straightforward. Companies create advertisements that get placed at the beginning of your videos. These are called pre-roll ads. Each time a viewer watches an ad all the way through, you get paid.
