The Spotlight service, launched by Snapchat as a competitor to TikTok, offers a good opportunity for creators of quality video content to earn money. To participate, you need to meet the age requirement (over 16 years old) and be able to attract viewers with captivating stories. Snapchat pays a total of $1,000,000 daily to the creators whose work deserves attention, according to the developers.
How to Earn Money on Video in Spotlight
First, you need to be a resident of the USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, England, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France, or Ireland. The service is not available in other countries yet, but the developers promise that Spotlight will soon be available elsewhere.
To earn money from videos online, you need to shoot quality video material and upload it to the company’s server. Naturally, all videos will undergo moderation (selection). Currently, comments under videos are disabled, but the developers are working on the program.
There are no specific requirements for the videos. However, considering Google’s standards for its services, the videos should be at least in Full HD resolution (1920×1080). Otherwise, the image quality deteriorates significantly, and viewers are less likely to watch low-quality content. By the way, regarding content quality: for those still using ads on YouTube on their TV or set-top box, here’s a solution – SmartTube Next.
The unprecedented generosity – $1,000,000 per day, will be extended by Snapchat until the end of 2020. How the payouts will be implemented and, importantly, when, is unclear, as no clear mechanism has been specified. For now, it’s all verbal promises, but it looks very promising.
