What is Revver?
Revver is the first video network that pays. We connect makers, sharers, and sponsors of internet video in a free and open marketplace that rewards them for doing what they do best. Revver'mission is to support independent media artists. We believe that a free and open, democratized media environment is good for everyone. Our goal is to empower video makers and sharers We support the free and unlimited sharing of content online in an environment where the creator is rewarded for his/her work.
How does Revver work?
It's really simple: you upload a video to Revver, and we attach an ad and our 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, 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.


How do I make money?
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.

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.

How much money can I make?
The exact amount of money you earn per view or click is variable. We are constantly working to improve the value of our network so we can negotiate better rates. So keep uploading and sharing - it's good for everyone!

How and when do I get paid?
In your dashboard, your "current earnings" are recent earnings that are still processing. After 30 days, earnings move left into your "pending payment" column, and once you have $20 or more in your pending payment column you will receive payment on the next payment date.

The cut-off date for each pay period is the last day of each month, so to receive payment in, say, February, you need to have a pending payment of at least $20 by Jan 31. Payments will be made by the last day of each month to all accounts that had pending payments of $20 or more on the last day of the previous month.

Payments are made to the PayPal account you specified when creating your account. If you didn't include your PayPal information during registration, you can go back and add it now in your account preferences.

In your dashboard earnings display, "Total Paid to Date" displays the total amount paid to you over all time.

"Pending Payment" is the income you will be paid on the next payout day (if over $20). These earnings are subject to review before payment is made.

Your "Current Earnings" are recent earnings that are still processing.

If you have questions about payments, please contact us at payments@revver.com.

What does "Revverized" mean?
Your video + our ad-matching and tracking technology = "Revverized" content. The video file created when you upload to Revver includes both the advertisement as well as an embedded ID that allows you to track your video wherever it appears online via email, website or P2P. You provide the original content; we take care of the rest!

What does it mean to opt in to new distribution channels (broadcast/mobile)?
To get your videos seen by as many people as possible, we've been hard at work building our network of syndication partners. This means partnering with lots of websites and web services platforms to get your videos in front of as many eyeballs as possible. You may even be able to share your videos on television and mobile devices! By enabling broadcast and mobile distribution, you still maintain ownership of your content and Revver shares with you any revenue generated by these new distribution partnerships. It's a great chance to get your videos to an even wider audience and tap into new ways of making money. You must enable these distribution channels to participate, so visit your account preferences to set your broadcast and mobile settings.

What kind of videos can I submit?
You can submit just about any kind of video you want, as long as you're the creator

We here at Revver strive daily to make sure that the content on our site is original and that the creators are properly credited and compensated for their work.

We have a staff of knowledgeable reviewers, who personally review each and every video before posting it publicly on the site. If your video gets wrongly rejected, you will have the chance to prove that it belongs to you.

What constitutes adequate proof will vary for each video. You might need to show written proof that you own the rights or you might just need to explain to us that you made the music and link to your band's website. It really depends on the situation. Our reviewers are just looking for something that makes them feel comfortable enough that an artist's copyright is not being infringed.

You should also know that if anyone were to contact us stating that there was some sort of infringement regarding a particular video, the matter would be investigated immediately!

Revver, Inc.
Attn: DMCA violation
6464 Sunset Boulevard
Hollywood, Ca. 90028 What about Fair Use?
At Revver, we staunchly support copyright laws. Our mission and business is firmly rooted in the idea that artists deserve to control and be rewarded from their intellectual property. We also believe strongly in the protections provided by the doctrine of Fair Use, which is part of US copyright law, and to comparable protections provided under the copyright laws in various other jurisdictions. While it is impossible to draw a hard and fast line between what is Fair Use and what is not, we understand that we are living in a remix culture and we support an open media environment that allows creators to lawfully build on the work of earlier creators. I didn't upload my video, but I see it on Revver anyway. Why?
If you see a video you own on Revver that you didn't upload to our site, it means that someone else has done so. Please contact us and we will investigate the matter.


What music can I use in my video?
Unless your use of music or performances by others is okay under the doctrine of Fair Use under US copyright law (see here for more info) or under comparable provisions of the copyright laws in some other jurisdictions, you need to be sure that you have the rights to use the music in your video. You can do this by getting explicit permission from the copyright-owner or by using royalty-free music.
