What's uVizz? |
top |
uVizz is a video sharing platform for user-generated advertising and brand promotion on social networks. We offer advertisers a unique, cost-effective model that rewards their online communities for creating and sharing content.
You're probably already communicating with your customers on social networks, like Facebook and Twitter. Now that you've built your online community, the next step is to get your customers talking about you. So think of uVizz as a bridge between your customers and their friends. You'll be rewarding your customers for creating and sharing videos about your products with their friends. With uVizz, you'll be turning their passion for your products into successful brand promotion.
How does it work? |
top |
People connect with uVizz with their social network profiles. When they do, we're able to track their activity and reward them for creating and sharing videos. Other advertising platforms will charge you per click or per video impression. On uVizz, you pay for "unique video views". This is the first time someone watches one of your videos. While we hope that people want to watch all of your videos multiple times (that means more brand promotion for you), we'll only charge you the first time a video is viewed.
How much does it cost? |
top |
You pay for unique video views. The minimum charge is 15¢. Remember, 70% of what you pay is given to the users (50% to the video creator and 20% to the person who shares the video). The more you pay, the more you reward your customers for helping your promote your products.
uVizz offers other ways for you to reward your customers, such as paying for approved videos and banner clicks. You'll learn more about these optional tools in campaign management.
At uVizz, you are paying for performance. If the videos don't get viewed, you don't pay. Campaigns can be started with as little as $100. You can stop your campaign at any time and withdraw any unused funds.
How do my customers get paid? |
top |
When a unique video view occurs, your account balance on uVizz is charged. We give 70% of that to the users for creating and sharing videos. When their uVizz account balances reach $20, they can withdraw it via PayPal.
Example:
You decide to pay 30¢ for each unique video view. When one occurs, here's the payout:
The video creator earns 15¢ ( .50 X 30¢ )
The person who shared the video earns 6¢ (.20 X 30¢ )
The fee paid to uVizz is 9¢ ( .30 X 30¢)
Can I create content? |
top |
Absolutely. You're welcome to create your own content. In fact, we have lots of advertisers that do this regularly. Some create content as examples of the types of videos they want submitted. Others do it as a way to provide funny or informational material to their customers.
If you create the content, you'll be the "video creator". This means that when your videos are viewed for the first time, you'll get 50% of the unique video view payout back.
What about images? |
top |
We also allow images to be uploaded and shared. The cost and payout structure is exactly the same as videos.
Here are the types of files that uVizz supports:
Video - fli, flv, mp2, mp4, mpe, mpeg, mpg, mov, wmv, wmx, wvx, avi, movie, m4v
Images - gif, ief, jpg, bmp, jpeg, png
All files uploaded to uVizz must be less than 100 MB.
Who owns the content? |
top |
The video creator owns the content. If you'd like to use the content outside of uVizz, you can negotiate a price with the video creator. uVizz will receive 30% of the negotiated price as the broker fee.

You'll need to record a short video for your campaign. Nothing fancy...just tell your customers about the campaign and they types of videos you want. For an example, click on any campaign in uVizz to watch a campaign summary video. You'll notice that most of the advertisers use a webcam to record the videos.
You can add logos, text, and links to your "Campaign Summary Page". If you'd like to do this, put something together. Don't worry, you don't need to be a web designer. You can use our editor in campaign management to do this. It's simple to use.
How do I promote my campaign? |
top |
The people who are most likely to get involved with your campaign are those that are already passionate about your products. Promote your campaign to your customers on:
Facebook
Twitter
Your website
Email blasts
Your Blog
And any other way you can reach them
The goal should be to get your customers involved. Let them know that you are going to be rewarding them for creating and sharing videos. Most importantly -- make it fun for them!
