I'm looking for an alternative online movie viewing service besides iTunes and Amazon Video Direct. Is there a small independent site that pays you revenue per stream?
Does Vimeo have a "set up fee" or anything like that? Can you add a title by yourself or do you have to go through a distributor of sorts? And do they pay based on minutes streamed?The only thing I'm aware of - which isn't small - would be Vimeo on Demand. I put my second feature (DETOURS) on there as well as on Amazon Prime because it allows viewership anywhere in the world.
Wow that's a hefty setup fee. What do viewers pay?There isn't a set-up fee, but you need a sufficiently large Vimeo plan to accommodate your project(s).
I had to upgrade to their Pro plan, which is $240/year. You do it yourself, and set your own price. You get 90% of what the viewer pays.
So you got about a million views then?I've had some moderate success on YouTube. I make around $2000 a year total on my channel.
Wow that's about 2.2 mil more than me! Survival shows like Man VS Wild, Dual Survival, Survivorman, Naked & Afraid are a popular niche. Also shows about living off the grid, making moonshine in the woods, looking for ginseng or mushrooms in the woods, etc.My channel has almost 3,000,000 views. youtube.com/eldirectorvision

And what about consumers who watch movies on VIMEO. Is Vimeo a subscription service? Or does the make revenue from ads?File was too big - over 5 gb. If yours is under that size, you may not need to make a change.
Their pricing is here:

I guessing that YOU have to drive traffic to your movie on Vimeo. Are there really a lot of people who are gonna stumble upon your movie and rent it?You pick the price that you charge - it's not a subscription service. The owner (you) gets 90% of the revenue, paid out monthly.
