Revver Pays $1 Million to Independent Video Content Producers

Good money if you can get it.

A good review on Revver could be found here :

And as for my comments, yes, Revver is really on life-support, but as long as companies and ad agencies are still paying and Revver is paying, there is no need to worry. You only need to worry if Revver decides to pull the plug.

I just heard the bad news that Revver is on life support and so far, there are no takers. I joined them a little over a month ago and I can say they are fantastic... I hope they can pull through but even if they don't... they broke the seal and many other companies are now offering shared revenue models with producers.

Good for Revver, considering the plight of the producer in the this whole user-grn whirlwind. I write about some of this in my blog.

Aggregators paying content producers by sharing ad revenues, it is a good news. But imho it will benefit only to the "first part of the long tail"

I believe that "niche" contents, located "at the end of the long tail", will probably not generate enough audience to be able to pay their creators simply with ad revenue sharing schemes : at the end, for contents interesting a limited and focused audience, the consumer will have to pay for the contents, or the contents will simply disappear, by lack of motivated creators...
