He doesn't sell the video. They all are like movie cinema, collecting ticket fee per view, views interact with platform adds and transformed into cents and dollars

There is another way of think this:
upload your video in youtube and use music from someone.
creating an audience to artist is the flaw of microstock sites but the key to success for any artist.
cheers

Good point, I think someone has to have a number of subscriptions/viewers before they can go commercial, but then with good offerings, the money could add up. Some people make a living at YouTube, I don't think I'd want to be trying that personally, but someone with the time and skills, like Banana Republic, why not do that. As I often ask but seldom if ever happens.

When you do the project and start your channel and upload a bunch of videos, please come back and tell us how it worked out?

I'd seriously like to see how someone starting and trying makes out with YouTube videos. These pleasing backgrounds sound like a nice calm niche.

3 1/3 years = 200,000 a year * maybe $4,000
I didn't see any ads, so pretty nice deal for him if he has a bunch of videos, licensed and made into pleasing backgrounds.

Read more and it seems valid and up to date. Someone with ads could make more.

Digital:
100% legit, as long as they have purchased the proper license. Anyone with a proper license can upload to YouTube and monetize.

SpaceStockFootage:
All seems above board to me. I think the portion of people buying our content who aren't making any money (or at least saving money) as a result of how they're using it is going to be very minimal (even if its indirectly)... and the fact they're making money from our content is what keeps them coming back for more. Obvioulsy the less that revenue relies on their contribution, the more lazy it comes across as (i.e. one image in a magazine vs what you're describing)... but as long as they're within the license terms then I think it's all good.
