I posted a video to youtube yesterday and it start to go semi viral. I've had 3 companies contact me about licensing the video (they sell it to tv shows and stuff then give me a % of the money). They are ViralvideoUK, FailsworldMedia, and Jukin Video. Right now Jukin sounds like the best offer.

So does anybody have experience with this? Any advice?

The video can be found here if you are interested. It would be great if you rate up/comment.

.AR6rider.Lol 2,000 views and it's "going viral."

Stop fishing for views, you fuck.


Got up to almost 100 k but def never went viral. Even the newschoolers fail video has a ton of views. I bet ns gave this guy most of his views.

Lol at going viral.


IF this was a decade ago I'd say yeah. These days LOL

I guess I'll follow up since this thread got bumped. I ended up getting like 150$ for it. I STILL know it DIDN'T go viral. Only about 10,000 views are from newschoolers. It was briefly on the front page of Youtube in the sports section a couple months ago and that's how it got most of the views.

homestarThanks guys, I know it's not viral. That wasn't really the point of the post though so can we please just look past that for a moment.


Look past it? Your entire post is 100% a bold faced lie. It's bullshit. What's there to consider here?

The post was asking if the companies that contacted me were legit. It wasn't meant to be about the video being "viral." The only bullshit was the thread title. I was asking people to look past that and answer the question in the post.

Even though nobody answered my question, I went ahead and sold the video to Jukin Video. They ended up paying me 150$.

You could have gotten more than that just off ads.

post it on reddit and bring in an easy 40k views if you frontpage w/ it. Make sure to send take down notices to anyone who uploads your video.
