Who is the service aimed at?
The service is aimed at everyone. Anyone might come across an event or news event and might decide to film it. GoReporter allows people to earn money from videos they have made that might be of interest to journalists, TV stations, or other professionals.
How much does the service cost?
The service is free. You can register and upload the videos you own in just a few minutes and totally free of charge.
Why do I need to register?
Registration is important to know who made and uploaded the video in order to avoid fraud and to prevent the spread of fake or altered videos. Don't worry: normally your identity will remain confidential and known only to us. Only in the event of alleged wrongdoing or investigation, we may provide your information to video buyers or authorities.
What videos can I upload to GoReporter?
You can upload any video depicting events or news events of journalistic interest, occurring anywhere in the world. The important thing is that the video was made by you and you have the rights to sell it.
Can I upload the same video to GoReporter and other platforms?
Yes, we do not require content exclusivity. However, consider that the videos you upload to GoReporter may also be uploaded by us to other platforms. Therefore, our advice is to upload videos only to GoReporter and then leave it to us, who will do everything to make you as much money as possible.
How much can I earn from my videos?
How much you can earn depends on the quality and uniqueness of your videos. What we guarantee you is that we will do as much as we can to try to sell your videos and give you 50% of what we are paid (excluding VAT and taxes). You can keep track of all your video sales by logging into your account.
How and when will I receive my earnings?
If we are successful in selling some of your videos, we will make a bank transfer to you by the 15th of the following month and send you a receipt for the payment. If you are resident in Italy, consider that we may have to charge a withholding tax on the fees we disburse to you.
What constraints are there on the files that I can upload?
Each upload can include one or more files which must however respect the following constraints:
