Why should I become a Directors Live Publisher?
Our directors get to expose their talent to the world, and make money while doing it. See our membership page for more details.

How do I become a Director’s Live Publisher?
Just hit the “Sign-Up” Button on the Home Page. Once you’ve paid your membership fee, you can begin to upload your videos. We will review your content to ensure that it complies with the Directors Live Guidelines (basically, upload stuff that belongs to you, and make it tasteful).

How do Directors make money?
The Directors Live Publisher Program is a revenue-sharing program that allows creators and producers of original content to earn money from their videos on Directors Live. Directors accrue earnings per 1000 video views. You do not need to have a Google AdSense account, nor do your viewers have to click on the ads. 

How much money will I make?
There are no guarantees under the Directors Live Publishing Agreement about how much you will be paid. It really depends on how many views each of your videos gets. The more your videos are viewed, the more money you can make.

What type of ads will run on my content?
The ads we display on your Directors Live videos are determined automatically by our system depending on your content, category and other factors.

Is there any reason why my application would not be accepted?
No. Once you have completed the application process, your account is active. There are no subscription requirements. Your content, however, will be reviewed. If, at any time, you do not comply with the Directors Live Guidelines, your account may be terminated. 

Why am I charged to become a Publisher?
Directors Live splits its advertising revenue with the Directors Live Publishers. We do charge a small service fee in order to pay for bandwidth, development and site maintenance. Most Directors make this back within the first month, or less.

How old do I have to be to participate in the Directors Live Publisher Program?
If you are under the age of 18, you must have your parent’s permission to receive payments.
