Earn real revenue, not just ad cents.

Most platforms pay pennies per thousand views and control distribution through algorithms. Buy.Video lets you set the price, limit views, and earn up to 80% per purchase. It’s a direct way to monetize exclusives, extended cuts, early releases — or anything else you create and want to share.

Buy.Video is a simple tool that allows creators to make more money from their content with their existing audiences and within platforms like TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. Free to use, no ads, no subscriptions, you simply upload your video, set the price, views, and share your link. Viewers pay once to watch ad-free, and when it expires, you collect your payout.

Exclusive content isn't about keeping people out, it's about making what's in actually matter. When your videos are limited (even temporarily), they become special. Scarce. Valuable.

In a world drowning in free content, you can offer something different: a VIP experience that your real fans will be thrilled to pay for. Think of it like a limited drop, a secret show, a front-row seat, the kind of thing that makes people feel like insiders, not just another view in the algorithm. Your biggest supporters want to support you, and they'll happily pay for content that feels exclusive and worth it. That's where you make real money: not from ad pennies or platform scraps, but directly from the people who actually value your work.

  • Early access or extended cuts

  • Tutorials, deep dives, or full-length versions

  • “Pre-free” before going public on YouTube

  • Behind-the-scenes footage or production breakdowns

  • Deleted scenes or unlisted archives

  • Private drops or limited access for fans

What you share is up to you — here are a few ideas.

  • Long-form conversations or director’s commentaries

  • Raw, unedited versions for members or collaborators

  • Bonus content that doesn’t fit platform algorithms

  • Collabs or experimental videos not shared publicly

EARN

Viewers pay to watch and you’re paid when your video expires.

Viewers can watch on any device, pay in seconds, and decide whether to view now or later (within 24 hours). Your video plays full screen, with no ads, interruptions, or pause. 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.

  • “YouTube builds my audience. Buy.Video helps me earn from it. If 1% of my YouTube viewers paid $3 to watch here, that’s over $20,000 — all without changing what I already create.”

  • “I usually watch everything they post on YouTube, but this Buy.Video drop felt different — one viewing, no ads, no chaos. It felt more like showing up for them, not just scrolling past.”
