If you are a YouTuber who creates engaging and funny videos, licensing your videos is a great option to earn money from media houses.

Giving a license does not mean you are not the owner of your videos.

You remain the owner, but they pay for the right to manage and represent your videos, making them go viral.

You get paid when you give media houses your video license.

But you have to note that Media houses make your videos go viral.

Dailymail.com is one of the media houses websites you can sell your video’s license to.

Producers and stars will come to you.

All you have to do is get a camera, record videos, and upload them to show your talent.

Reaching a large audience is another challenging task.
