GET A VEVO CHANNEL AND MONETIZE YOUR MUSIC VIDEOS WITH MARVMENT

What is music video monetization?

Monetization means that you authorize the presence of advertisements on your videos. Advertisers are charged a fee when ads are served on your content, allowing you to earn revenue from people viewing your videos.

Why should I monetize my music videos?

Without considering monetization, many artists publish their videos or audio on YouTube with the intention of getting views and publicity. However, when ads are served on their videos they do not earn revenue. In other words they are putting money in someone else’s pocket. Think of all the ads that have served against your videos, and all the revenue you’re not earning.  Do you see our point?

How can I begin monetizing my content?

To begin monetizing your content is easy with MarvMent. The first step is to register https://marvment.com/gettingstarted/ with us and request your VEVO channel.  After creating your channel you can upload your videos to MarvMent using our video portal. MarvMent will then publish your music videos to YouTube and Vevo which makes them available for syndication on many Vevo partner sites including AOL, BET, CBS Interactive Music Group (including Last.fm and MP3.com), Disney Interactive, Fuse.tv, Univision, Viacom Media Networks, Wenner Media and Yahoo! Music.
Now your videos are automatically monetized in many places and not just on YouTube.

How do I get paid?

After receiving your first accounting statement from Vevo, MarvMent will pay you royalties by check or direct deposit on a monthly basis as long as your revenue exceeds $100 USD.

To begin monetizing your videos simply sign up at https://marvment.com/gettingstarted
