How do Filmers get Paid?

So you’ve uploaded a video , and a buyer has purchased it. What happens next?

We use PayPal or Wisefor all our payments, so you can feel safe knowing your personal information will always be secure.

How will you get paid?

As soon as you’ve registered with Newsflare, you can either enter your PayPal account details, or add debit account information (powered by Wise) to receive payouts for sales we make on your behalf.

What if you don’t have a PayPal account?

If you don't have a PayPal account, you can find out more on how to register on the PayPal website.

Alternatively, just enter your debit card information (sort code and account number) to receive payouts via Wise direct to your bank account.

So, you have entered your payment details, how much will you get paid?

This is dependent on how your video is used. Typically you’ll earn up to £100 for your video, however, if it proves particularly popular you could earn over £1,000.

The amount you are paid is 50% of the video licence fee generated from selling the right to use your video to one of our clients.

There are a few different ways your videos could be used:

In a Direct Sale, a client has paid to use your video for a set amount of time. Depending on where they use it and how long for, you could earn anything up to £1,500. For example, if a brand pays to use your video on Facebook, payments are typically around £25.

In an Ad Share transaction, a client may pay to use your video and then pop some advertising around it to generate revenue. Newsflare will share the video licence fee generated from that advertising with you.

Depending on how popular the video is, you could earn up to £200 per month.

A number of our partners include TV Production and Brand Agencies, who will also pay to use your video in their content. For example, Channel 4 produced "Britain's Wildest Weather" using Newsflare filmer videos. Everyone who had their video featured received a payment depending on how many seconds their clip was used in the show.

If an agency creating an advert wants to use your video for an online, social media or TV campaign, your video could earn you well into thousands of pounds.

When do you get paid?

We pride ourselves in delivering fast payment to our filmers. Once our client has confirmed the use of your video and made payment, you’ll get your money within 24 hours, so long as your balance is over £25. If your balance has not yet hit £25, you’ll receive payment once you do. Any balance earned over 12 months ago that has not been paid out will expire.

Having problems with your payments?

Although we do our best to ensure things go as smoothly as possible, at times you may have received a notification of payment pending. It is likely that the payment simply needs to be claimed from your PayPal account.
