Great content I made 5 figures in 42 days the 3rd quarter with my movie on Tubi IGNITE YOUR LOVE…. My movie got uploaded halfway in the quarter and I made this without marketing so now I’m about to put a campaign behind it and hopefully will get more great info
If you don't mind me asking, I got 2 questions to ask: 1) Does tubi say how much views your movie gets? 2) I know it varies on advertisers and all, but any idea how much roughly your movie makes? Is it based on per 1000 views or how many hours is watched? I ask because I want to get a good idea how much tubi pays in comparison to this site. I'm planning to watch things over at tubi if there's a movie available both here and there, but just like to know how much I'm helping indie filmmakers by watching over at tubi since I know this site pays very little.
congrats on the movie buddy... ..... congratulations... .... I speak from Brazil How much have you already earned with the film on the tube... throughout life?
As always, you deliver a video on the EXACT topic I’m thinking of asking a question about! Thank you for all the hard work and consistency - this channel has been my Bible for the past year on film business education. Much love!
This was so good. Jason instinctively understands where filmmakers get confused with AVOD and makes sure to explain in a conversational way. Looking forward to future marketing videos from him as the market changes.
I skipped a commercial featuring Mr. Beast pitching Shopify at the beginning of this video...I wonder if he thought content creation would pay more too? 😂Good stuff Jason!
as I said in the video. It's AVOD based. Average CPMs are 6 to 9 dollars. Unless you get an exclusive deal payout (which isn't likely for most). I have over 50 films I've produced there.
Thanks man! Do you know the minimum minute requirement for a feature film on Tubi? I thought it was 120 but just recently saw a film that was 71 minutes.
because when dealing with AVOD there isn't a definitive answer. That's the answer. as I said in the video the numbers and cpms differ film to film. Fine. Illl pick five random films from my library last month and what they made on TUBI. one made 11,763 grand last month. one made 20 dollars. One made 2212 dollars. one made 200 dollars. One made 976 dollars. The cpms varied from 6 to 9 dollars. The CPM on the 11k one was 8.89. So that's basically 9 bucks for every 1000 ads viewed. If the movie played 3 ads a play. that's 27 bucks per 1000 viewings... Problem with that is not everyone sees the same amount of ads. Algoythm dictates. Sometime you might get 4 or 5 ad breaks. Sometimes you get less. Sometimes no ads play. TUBI pays much like youtube adsense. And there are ton of other videos out there that breakdown things like CPM and RPM. It's a compicated and nuanced topic. There is no simple. They pay this much answer.
@@JHorton i just wish film hub had a marketing section where you could make a deal for them to market there film so us film makers who have no money could get our film out
Subscribed my question is on promotion or building that curve~where is a good platform to promote , you talked about rather than one big push to spread it out, where would that be
but you didn’t answer the question??? how much does tubi pay? can you give a monetary example in both the best and worse case scenarios using real dollar amounts and not just theoretical examples please?
i was very clear. It's AVOD based. THey pay based on CPM. the cpm's average between 7 and 9 dollars which breaks down to 7 to 9 dollars per 1000 ads viewed. (though there are films that get higher and lower CPMS. Depends on the movie. There's 100s of videos here on youtube that explain CPM if you want to dig in. If hardly no one watches your movie you could make a few cents. But, I know filmmakers that have made 100k in a month there as well. Just depends on the movie. There is no set rate.
Just curious what the current minimum runtime requirement for an episode and for a feature? I was told 20 and 45 minutes. Just want to confirm.Thank you!
@@JHorton thx for the update. I can't seem to find any videos helping re above specifically for films (not youtuber type videos). The issue is eg if you make 2 films a year and premiere them on RUclips etc. There wouldn't be enough "activity" on the account. Or do you know, Mr Horton if film makers have ever done a deal witg youtube to premiere on RUclips etc..?? Thx
I distributed thru filmhub and my performance insights show $1.10 under the monthly section Is this the approximate revenue overall or is this the appropriate earnings per ad???
Is it just me or does it seem kinda sketchy? Like how does anyone possible kept track or know what there film is actually worth. Seems really tough to know what’s going on . It makes me think RUclips might be the only way. Any thoughts?
@@bluerabbit1236 I guarantee you don’t know your numbers. I think most indie films generate so low Financially most film makers are not even really concerned about it. Which maybe your case. Hashtag #broke
you're not 100 percent wrong, there is not way to really know. And I would love to see a youtube like dashboard. But even then, how do you really know that is accurate? But at the end of the day I don't see as sketchy... all paranoid thinking will do is keep you from taking risks and rob you of opportunities. How do you know your youtube CPM is really accurate? How do you know the retail outlet making dvds didn't sell more than they say? in today's age, I don't think there is a way to know for sure someone somewhere isn't ripping you off. If you're lucky enough to get a 100 screen theatrical release, how do you know ticket sales are accuruate or concession sales? The only way to be 100 percent sure no one is ripping you off on your movie is to make one copy, and sell tickets one by one yourself to private showings in your basement. If you're gonna release your movie to the world, at some point you have to take someone's word for it. I look at reputation and results (what ends up in my pocket) All I can say for sure, is at the end of the day, more indie filmmakers are seeing more money from feature films through tubi than any other outlet.
The title is referring to rates, which I definiitely did cover in the the video,... but to answer your specific question, over the last few years. a few hundred thousand dollars.
@@JHorton thank you!!! I keep hearing that the logical maximum is around $150K for one project. I’m releasing a 2-hour action SciFi movie shot in 4K in a few months. My first action movie was internationally distributed by a typical predatory distributor and I did t make a dime, even though it was sublicenaed to 20+ territories and was with both Netflix and Blockbuster on the DVD mail rental program back in 2010. Nada for me. Very painful experience!!! I can’t have the same experience from these psychopathic distributors and lean heavily on people like yourself for honest information. I really appreciate your info. I was thinking. About going through IndieRights as they are a bit more curated and attend film markets, plus - like FilmHub - they are fair and transparent. Is there any reason that you don’t use an active distributor like IndieRights?
I keep yall updated we are turning one of my books into a movie the name of the book is Cocaine Republic by Ivan Romance I keep yall updated doing the process and how much money I make as well to the very detail.
then you were not paying attention. It's not a simple answer. numbers are all over the place. Some make 100k a month. Some make pennies. Most I've personally made in a month off a single movie is 10k. I've seen other do 10x's that. and most do much less.

nice! that's really great to hear.
Ditto!
This was so good. Jason instinctively understands where filmmakers get confused with AVOD and makes sure to explain in a conversational way. Looking forward to future marketing videos from him as the market changes.
thank you for the kind words.
Thank you got this video. Its very hard to find people who are not just promoting their indie film and actually break down how it all works.
thank you so much for this video!…so much useful information and you explained it so perfectly. will also be checking out your films
appreciate that!
That's very useful information and good suggestions. Thank you.
Stellar breakdown and very helpful. Thanks for the ideas on the best potential ways to help your film make more money on Tubi.
You bet!
Thanks for the insight! I'm definitely putting my next project on Tubi and this info was helpful.
I skipped a commercial featuring Mr. Beast pitching Shopify at the beginning of this video...I wonder if he thought content creation would pay more too? 😂Good stuff Jason!
SPOILER: he doesn't know how much they pay.

V@@JHorton this gentleman definitely knows somewhat what they pay. Listen well!
Thank you!
listen again dude he literally explained it
😂😂😂
Great info. I have several friends with films on Tubi.
Thanks for this. Tubi sounds similar to youtube, in the way they pay like with Cpm.
Thanks for the info. I just go my movie on Tubi last week, Romantic/Comedy/ Christmas titled: Baby It's Cold Outside
no problem. Good luck with it.
Tubie is a great platform For any Film producer to get there start
Thanks man! Do you know the minimum minute requirement for a feature film on Tubi? I thought it was 120 but just recently saw a film that was 71 minutes.
i don't think there is. I've seen 45 min 'features' there.
Ahhh ok! Thank you! Solid and informative content BTW! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
@@blankman3316thats an episode 😂😂😂😂
Yep 45 mins minimum
Yet another grateful information. Thank you!
You bet!
Am I the only person who didn’t think he answered the question he asked. Wtf. Why not just pick a film and give us the numbers…
because when dealing with AVOD there isn't a definitive answer. That's the answer. as I said in the video the numbers and cpms differ film to film. Fine. Illl pick five random films from my library last month and what they made on TUBI. one made 11,763 grand last month. one made 20 dollars. One made 2212 dollars. one made 200 dollars.

@@JHorton people be looking for simple answers. The word is more complicated than that.
I appreciate the information and judging from the other comments, most agree.
Very informative thank you!
Hey J. Horton, congrats on all of your success. Would you say the films you have monetized have been able to support your cost of living?
for me. yes. I've supported myself from my film work for many years now.
@@JHorton That is fantastic, congrats!
I appreciate this video. Answered a lot of questions
Glad it was helpful
@@JHorton i just wish film hub had a marketing section where you could make a deal for them to market there film so us film makers who have no money could get our film out
Subscribed my question is on promotion or building that curve~where is a good platform to promote , you talked about rather than one big push to spread it out, where would that be
social media. Whichever platform you are most profiecient at. For me it's facebook.
but you didn’t answer the question??? how much does tubi pay? can you give a monetary example in both the best and worse case scenarios using real
dollar amounts and not
just theoretical examples please?

I'm not 100 percent on series. I don't really do them. But feature is 45 mins. At least last I heard.
@@JHorton Thank you!
Does tubi require your film to be exclusive on their platform. Can I have a film on tubi and RUclips at the same time???
Great video by the way.
in general no. The only way the deal is exclusive is if they want your film as a TUBI original which is unlikely anyway.
Great video. Can I ask, is it better just uploading to RUclips if you have a monetized channel? Millions more use it over Tubi.
absolutely zero reason not to do both. Neither is exclusive. Unless you have a specfic deal with Tubi which is rare.
@@JHorton thx for the update. I can't seem to find any videos helping re above specifically for films (not youtuber type videos).

:first things last". luv it !
Nice.
I distributed thru filmhub and my performance insights show $1.10 under the monthly section
Is this the approximate revenue overall or is this the appropriate earnings per ad???
aprox revenue overall
What percentage of advertisement goes back to the filmmaker? And how much does Tubi keep?
i would assume it's similar to youtube which is 55/45 in favor of the creator. But I could be wrong. They don't publicly share that info.
Great explanation
thank you! glad it was good for you.

How to watch
If Birdemic: Shock and terror can get on streaming platforms then your movie can get on Tubi
Hello J.Horton, are you able to tell me how much is tubi's cpm please?
it differs for different movies, just like youtube. I've heard from a distributor that the averages are between 7 and 9 dollars.
What are the title of your movies to support.
there's over 70. www.imdb.com/name/nm1862032
I’ve been trying to find info on getting my indi film project on Tubi any advise?
filmhub
You never answered the question in the title. Soooo….. how much have you made on Tubi???
The title is referring to rates, which I definiitely did cover in the the video,... but to answer your specific question, over the last few years. a few hundred thousand dollars.
@@JHorton awesome thanks!
@@JHorton thank you!!!
I keep hearing that the logical maximum is around $150K for one project.

I keep yall updated we are turning one of my books into a movie the name of the book is
Cocaine Republic by Ivan Romance
I keep yall updated doing the process and how much money I make as well to the very detail.
pretty much the same model as RUclips / Google
eyeballs = rates
Sad some of movies leaving tubi
And still we don't know how much you made how much other people make😂🎉
then you were not paying attention. It's not a simple answer. numbers are all over the place. Some make 100k a month. Some make pennies. Most I've personally made in a month off a single movie is 10k. I've seen other do 10x's that. and most do much less.

Yeah I just explained it how it is… how awful of me

it's cool. I get where he's coming from. And he's actually right, the real answer isn't what people want to hear.
