A RECENT VIDEO THAT MADE THE NEWS

We supply thousands of videos and images to the global media every day. Here’s an example of how to sell a video to the press:

A Los Angeles, Dodgers fan was hanging around by the dugout when he saw longtime manager Tommy Lasorda tell a Korean man to “go back [to his country].”

Little did Lasorda know, the fan videotaped the entire incident on his phone. The tipster later said that he contacted the Dodgers’ home office, but they weren’t much help.

So, he decided to get in touch with us at Talk to the Press and we got the story published in the Daily Mail. The story was also shared with Yahoo News and was put out on Youtube.

SELLING VIDEOS TO INTERNATIONAL PRESS OUTLETS

After holding to the video for about a year, the tipster realized that it might be of interest to the press. Subsequently, he sent it in and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of money he made.

He reached out to Talk to the Press, using our online form.

Following an interview with one of our reporters, he sent us the video and we contacted the Dodgers organization and Major League Baseball for comment.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU MAKE

The reporter then called our direct contact at the Daily Mail to see if they wanted the story. Subsequently, after watching the video, the Mail purchased the exclusive publishing rights to the story.

The piece was published online and the video was viewed thousands of times. We then paid the Dodgers fan for his contribution.

After The Daily Mail was done with its 24-hour exclusivity period, the tipster was paid 50% of the total money generated from the story. He was also paid 50% from all of the other press outlets we sold the story to.
