Independent filmmakers
looking for ways to get their content both monetized and in the hands of
audiences, Vimeo has just the thing for you! At SXSW 2013, Vimeo announced
their new Vimeo On Demand platform, a service that grew from their “Tip Jar”
concept. With Vimeo On Demand, any Vimeo PRO member ($199/year) can make their
content available for a fee. The filmmaker has ultimate flexibility in setting
price, launch date, rental time or download, countries available, etc. iTunes
and Amazing offer similar deals to filmmakers, however what is unique for Vimeo
On Demand is that Vimeo only takes 10%; the majority of the profit goes to the
content creator.
