Does your company use video ads to promote its products and services? What? Its too expensive and has unknown ROI?

Wrong. Wrong. Its cheap - sometimes cheaper than text adwords (starting 1 cent per view). And its some x5-x50 times better for your brand awareness(vs text/banner ads)!

 

So why dont you try it now??

Start a new viral video ads campaign with Videolla and we will give you free $5 credit for your campaign! Its 100% free and risk-free deal for you! 

Just do this:

1) Register as Advertiser and create your videad campagn on videolla.com 

2) Like Videolla page on Facebook

3) You $5 credit should appear within 24 hours. And you can set any CPM/CPC bids for your campaign!

If you dont see your free credit on your account after completing steps above please contact us

 

How does it work?

You publish your video (either host it with us or link to YouTube) and we will post it to our network of bloggers, place it within indie videos(like on Hulu.com) that match your target audience. You will get more views for less since there are no "agencies, networks and experts" in between and you can simply manage campaign by yourself.

Please take a moment to take a look and change Videolla embed codes on your site or blog. You will get:

  • Better mobile compatibility(iphone, ipad, android devices)
  • Better Internet Explorer support
You can find your new embed code by clicking "Embed" button below your videos.

Unfortunately its not possible to provide full-functional embedded service for iPhone and iPads at the moment, since they dont support Adobe Flash technology and have only limited support for HTML5 playback. So on these apple devices users will be forwarded to Videolla site for preview and checkout(this should happen in a new window/tab so your site wont get closed).

Thanks for using videolla.com! Please keep sending us your feedback and suggestions!

Videolla_-_the_monochromatic_s

Important information on a new way of calculating commissions for sharing links and videos

In short:
Now you can earn commission by simply sharing links to videos you liked. Every user gets unique links and every time someone purchases video by his link he will earn a commission for that sale.

Full description:
Video owners are free to set sales commission for their content within 0-100% range. Previously commissions were paid only for videos that distributors embedded to their sites and blogs. We recently added ability to earn commission simply by giving a link to any video page. Every logged-in user gets unique link to all videos on site. So if you give link to video you liked to your friend, share it on Facebook or Twitter you will make money on each sale that was made from that link.

How can I earn more with this?
If you have some videos that your are selling or planning to sell on videolla.com use "Revenue share" option to set commission percentage for your distributors.
If you liked some videos on Videolla.com simply share them on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter or blog. You will earn money on each sale made by your link.
