There’s so much to keep in mind when shopping for your perfect video monetization platform. If you account for nothing else, make sure you account for the following 4 things:
Having to only pay your platform a percentage when you profit may sound like a smart idea at first. But if you plan to grow into a 6-figure business like most of our clients, this percentage will end up costing you thousands of dollars a month. Always choose a fixed-fee platform that will charge you the same amount every month, no matter how much you generate.
No matter your level of experience, there will always be something you need help with. When choosing a platform, make sure it has good reviews online for technical support. Pay close attention their support policy, and always opt for the platform that offers phone support, and not just email.
Owning your audience is a right, not a privilege. A lot of platforms withhold your audience data and billing info, creating serious limitations for your growth. Make sure you go for a platform that gives you full access to the data you worked so hard to earn. Even better, go for a platform that lets you export this data right from your admin area, like Uscreen does.
At the end of the day, the best way to find the perfect platform for you is to try it out yourself. In fact, we advise never to commit to a video monetization platform without trying it out for at least two weeks. Go for a platform that is confident enough in what it has to offer you to let you try it out yourself for free.
