Want to get paid to feature actual products in your video content? Advertisers are hungry for fresh, creative pieces that they can place their products into and air on social networks and online channels like YouTube, MySpaceTV and Metacafe.
Shoot a video, upload a trailer or post a story idea and let the advertisers bid on your work. Who knows, you could just make it big… or at least, make some big bucks.

“The crew at Storybids helped turn a concept into reality when I wanted to propose to my girfriend in a super way. My little video went viral and Storybids was able to get me featured on Good Morning America, MSNBC, Inside Edition and most recently on Oprah, in fact we were even featured on the homepages of iFilm, AOL, AOL Video, MSN and Netscape and in countless newspaper articles and radio interviews all over the world. All in all, we estimate our video was seen over 6 million times worldwide”

“My band engaged with Storybids to promote our music with a big spash and they suggested that we feature our music in a video that was about to go viral. We did and increased our exposure in a big way including an almost 3000 percent increase in audience for our music and traffic to our band's webside shot up literally overnight!.”

Don’t companies use ad agencies for this stuff?
They still do for the big budget commercials on television. But the playing field is changing, now that viewers can shoot right past these million-dollar babies with a flick of a TIVO button. Commercials just aren’t as effective as they used to be. Now advertisers are turning to the Internet and shifting their budget to online videos, product placements and viral videos. By 2010, experts estimate online advertising will grow to an $11 billion business. Agencies just aren’t geared for these types of media – and there is a new generation of computer savvy film and video makers out there who have great ideas that need a distribution channel. That’s what Storybids.com is all about.

Good question! If you’re new to product placement and advertising in general, we suggest you visit our online tutorials and learn how the industry works or visit our community section to meet and collaborate with others. If you’re ready to jump in with both feet, load up your first video and see how the market reacts.
