Sell a Video

This guide provides step by step instructions for uploading and selling a video as digital property on SHARE Protocol.

Why Sell Videos with SHARE?

Video streaming on traditional platforms offers broad discoverability and ad monetization. That said, on most platforms it can take millions of views to generate significant revenues. With SHARE, you can set the price per view and content access time that works for you. Just like songs, it's a great option to add to your overall monetization and distribution strategy.

Selling exclusive videos on SHARE means you get instant payments in crypto worldwide, revenue sharing and visibility on FORMLESS NETWORK, where you can publicly list your videos to be discovered by others. Additionally, any custom player built on SHARE Protocol can also access your video.
