Share what you make — without losing what it’s worth.
Artists share their work constantly — on social feeds, livestreams, and stories — but much of it disappears into the scroll. The process, the performance, the context behind the work often becomes free content, even when it’s what people value most. Giving everything away for visibility can dilute the meaning — and the worth — of what you make.
Buy.Video gives artists a way to share that same work — process, documentation, or performance — in a way that honors its value. Upload your video, set a price and limited viewing window, and share the link directly with your supporters. You keep up to 80% of every purchase, paid within 24 hours after your video expires.
It’s not about replacing social media — it’s about balancing it. Visibility can build your audience, but scarcity preserves your value
Studio walkthroughs or day-in-the-life sessions
Process videos and making-of footage
Limited artist talks, readings, or performances
Behind-the-scenes of commissions or collaborations
Exhibition walkthroughs or opening-night documentation
What you share is up to you — here are a few ideas.
Archive material, retrospectives, or digital portfolios
Short experimental video works or performance pieces
Drop-in editions — short viewing windows that increase value
Previews of new bodies of work before public release

Each video stands completely on its own — your fans won’t see recommendations, distractions, or anyone else’s content. It seems obvious, but watching this way feels completely new — and honestly, kind of amazing.
