you're lying

I started sending letters on May 8th,It's definitely not just a few hours after you received the letter in your reply.

Actually, Until now, I haven't received any email response from your company, and I genuinely feel that your integrity is in question. I want to cancel all collaborations with your company.

You keep saying the same things without taking any action, but someone already asked for my email address before!

Your company's email has not responded

Your company's email has not responded, and I have already sent several emails.

When it comes to authorizing the videos, the responses were always prompt. However, now that there are issues, there is no one to provide answers, and it feels very disappointing. I would like to revoke the authorization for all the videos.

Viralsnare experience

Sold a video to Viralsnare a year ago. The whole set up process to get royalties was a bit confusing, but I figured it out. My one big issue is the lack of communication… I’ll reach out with questions and either not get an answer back, or get vague unhelpful answers some of the time. However, when they email you for things they usually respond rather quick. Overall, once things are set up, as long as there are no issues on your end, you’re good to go.

Won’t reply to any emails to cancel contract

Communication was all good at the start but I’ve emailed several times to different viral snare addresses to ask for the contract to be cancelled as I’ve not received any money (not expecting buckets but believe it’ll do better elsewhere) and no one has had the decency to reply to my email. T&C’s say the contract can be cancelled providing both parties agree and since they aren’t making any money out of me(unless they’re screwing me over) I don’t see what the issue is. Im aware money isn’t guaranteed. Shame I’ve had such a negative experience but I believe there’s better companies out there. I’ve also found lots of instances of people copying and not crediting my video on YouTube so they aren’t great at monitoring, I have to report them all to VS myself.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to earn money from my footage.

I submitted a dash cam video to Viralsnare a year ago and recently received an email notifying me that it generated a good amount of earnings.
I had forgotten about it and was pleasantly surprised to receive some extra income that will help pay my bills.

After reading some negative reviews, I felt compelled to share my positive experience. People need to read the terms they sign and understand that everything is clearly outlined in the agreement
and no one steal your video!

I'm grateful for the opportunity to earn money from my footage.

I have other close calls recorded on my dash cam and plan on uploading them to Viralsnare as well. It's better to have my videos on both platforms, Reddit and Viralsnare, rather than solely
on Reddit where others can profit off of them without compensating me.

Overall, I highly recommend Viralsnare for anyone looking to monetize their videos.

A Honest Review ! Great experience

Two years ago, I started submitting videos to Viralsnare and other licensing companies. When they first contacted me about a video I had on Instagram, I had not heard of them, but I learned that they were a new company founded in 2017.

I just receive a payment for my video and i came to write my experience but i noticed some negative reviews on Trustpilot and decided to write my own review to share my experience with other potential candidates.

If you're expecting to make thousands or millions of dollars, it's better not to license your video or use a licensing company because you will be disappointed in the end. It's important to understand how licensing companies work - they create licenses for your video, post it on their website and social media, and then they promote it through their partner network. Your video earns money based on the views, licenses they sale and many more.

I also use YouTube for extra income, and I find it unrealistic when people expect to make a lot of money from a 5-15 second video with only 15-20k views. In my experience, it's better to not use licensing companies if you're expecting to make millions.

I do wish that Viralsnare had a forum or group to answer questions and provide more information. It's easy for people to misunderstand the process and think that they will make a lot of money from just a few views.

However, I do appreciate the partners Viralsnare has and the way they pay through Tipalti.com. The staff members have been responsive to my inquiries through their profiles or email, but I understand that it can be challenging to manage hundreds of emails every day. Overall, my experience with Viralsnare has been positive, and I would recommend them to others.

Very good communication with the content researcher. I took the money for my video in the scheduled time after some months, the researchers informed me at the mean time about the payment. The only problem was the email communication.

This company are a sham

This company are a sham. They have used my video without permission after processing my video. Despite showing them evidence of their companies failures they have continued to utilise a video without consent.

To investigate your specific situation, please get in touch with us at info@viralsnare.com with:
- The email address you used to submit your content.
- Details about the video in question

This will allow us to review your submission records and address your concerns directly.

Sincerely,

I'm getting paid my royalties.

ViralSnare published my video and I have been receiving royalties since the beginning of this year.

They are true to their word. They are also very easy to get in touch with and are always ready to answer any questions.

Hoping our good relationship continues.
I won't hesitate to have them publish more videos and represent me again.

SCAM....

They reached out to me multiple times regarding videos that I had posted on social media. One day, I decided to answer. They had me fill out a lot of things in order for them to use my video and promised I would be paid. Fast forward until one of my videos was live on their Youtube channel which has thousands of views and yet they have not contacted me anything about paying me out. I have contacted them multiple times requesting they remove my video since I no long wish to be in business with them but have been ignored every since.
DO NOT work with this company as they will trick you into signing over your videos and not pay you. I am still in the process of having them remove my video.
**Response to their response below** This just goes to show you that this company continues to lie. I have contacted them countless times and all have been ignored. I am not asking for money, all I asked is for them to remove my video from their platform and all my emails/requests have been ignored.

Hello,

We’re committed to looking into your issue and finding a solution. However, without your full name, email address, or details about the video in question, it’s difficult for us to verify your account. If you are one of our content owners, please email us at info@viralsnare.com with the necessary information so we can assist you further—we’re having trouble identifying who “TyD” is.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Thank you for your feedback.

We’d like to clarify that while a video may have thousands of views on YouTube, this doesn’t automatically equate to revenue, as earnings depend on a variety of factors. Additionally, we always contact our content owners when payments are due so they understand the next steps. Furthermore, once content begins its distribution journey, we cannot remove it from our library as work has already commenced.

To confirm, upon reviewing our records, we were unable to locate an account under your name or any associated contact information, and Trustpilot also did not provide us with further details. If you believe you are one of our clients or would like to discuss your concerns further, please contact us directly at info@viralsnare.com so we can look into this matter.

A video of my horse petting a barn cat with his lip got a lot of views on tiktok last year. ViralSnare reached out about licensing and I agreed. I’ve never done anything like that before. I forget it exists until I get an email from viralsnare every few months telling me I have a payment processing. It makes me a good lil chunk of change which definitely helps pay bills and such. (Man, you know you’re an adult when your viral video royalties go straight to utilities)

Takes time but reaping the rewards is so effortless!!!

I had someone reach out to me on Instagram about a particular video and I accepted for them to own it, and then also used the link on their website to submit many more.

I’ve since been paid around £600 in royalties, this didn’t happen for many many months after submitting and there was little communication but in all honesty, who cares about that? You can still post the video as you please and they post and chase for royalties if others post. Literally effortless money. I have no idea which videos are making the money or where they are doing well but honestly I really don’t mind, I’m super happy with just getting nice surprise statements in my inbox every so often!

When I have dealt with viralsnare they’ve been incredibly friendly and professional.

If you want to know every little detail about where your video is posted, how well it’s doing etc. maybe this isn’t the company for you, but for me personally, sending a video and having to do nothing else and hardly talk to anyone has been absolutely fantastic.

Super grateful to ViralSnare!!
