How to monetize your indie film
- List it. Upload a photo of your indie film, mark each spot and pick how you bill: per week, month, event or post. We set the price from reach, market and demand.
- Get requests. Brands find it in Browse and message you. Accept or decline.
- Get paid. The brand pays when you accept. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up.
- Or run an auction. Share a link and let brands bid. Start a indie film auction.
Get paid to put ads on your indie film
Share the credit frames, the final poster, a clip or still of the product scene, and premiere photos.
Tips
- Use a written product placement agreement. Cover approval of the scene, how the brand is shown, and what happens if it is cut.
- Check festival and broadcaster rules. Some limit visible branding or need disclosure.
- Never let a sponsor change the story. Sell placement, not script control.
Questions
What if the scene with the product is cut?
Agree on this in writing first. Often the sponsor moves to end credits instead.
Do I need to disclose product placement?
In many countries and on many platforms, yes. Check the rules where the film will be shown.
When do I get paid?
After you post proof, so usually once the cut is locked or the film premieres. Plan your budget for that.
How do brands find my indie film?
List it once. Brands browse spots by type, city and price and message you through SponsorMySpot. Your email stays private.
Who sets the price?
Our pricing engine, like a ride app. It prices each spot from what it is, how many people see it and the market you are in, and the price rises when brands are asking for that kind of spot near you. Owners pick how they bill: per week, month, event or post.
When do I get paid?
The brand pays when you accept their request. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe. The fee is 8 percent.
Can brands bid against each other instead?
Yes. Run an auction: each spot opens at your start price and any brand can take it by paying double. Cards are held, not charged, until bidding closes.
