Whoever thought Vine’s video app was going to die after instagram added a similar feature was incredibly wrong. According to AdAge, the entertainment company was just heating up! In fact, the 6-seconds clip service may gain traction on YouTube in 2013 if things continue to grow vertically. The smartphone service is now paying be well-known YouTubers and Viners to create content!
How much are professional Vine video makers generating?
According to AdAge.com, creators of the app service’s GrapeStory agency generate $1,000 to $10,000 per vine video! A whopping amount for a 6 second clip, that averages a payout of $1,666 per second of film. Without real post production effects, it’s more profitable than YouTube’s partnership program and less reliant on marketing. YouTube partners DeStorm, AlphaCat, and KingBach are rumored to have signed deals with the company, which could be early signs of an oncoming migration by more familiar viral video brands.
Already popular Vine creators like Mr. Jarre, Meagan Cignoli, and Warner Bra are signed to the Grapestory agency. Meagan alone has worked with 14 marketers and gotten checks from companies like Nike, BMW and GE. With 337,000 followers she does not have the largest reach of the group. Jerome Jarre, the ‘King of Fine,’ has 1.8 million followers and is a partner with “GrappeStory.”
The total a Vine creator get paid is based on the follower count and user engagement. Either way, at the rate of pay 6 seconds of video film, these mobile app sensations are getting paid more than many professional athletes at their per second rate (not overall).
What videos get the attention on Vine?
“The unexpected ones featuring a normal situation,” says 19-year-old video clips creator, Brandon Calvillo. He adds what does not work, “Gross-out humor, swearing and fake drug use.”
A good ‘flick’ according to the short-film entertainer, has a cool home-video feel.
