Though not all **video monetization platforms** are designed with musicians in mind, there are ways to benefit from many current programs from **YouTube and Vimeo to VideofyMe**. If you're capable of creating an ongoing stream of content from music videos to behind-the-scenes footage then you might find such programs worth pursuing. Currently the business of video is in a very open ended moment with lots of possibility ahead for content creators.

**Introducing Vimeo Tip Jar and More Creator Services**

Vimeo recently introduced its [Vimeo Creator Services](http://vimeo.com/creatorservices?ref=hypebot.com) with a focus on the [Tip Jar](http://vimeo.com/help/faq/tip%5Fjar?ref=hypebot.com). But activating micropayments is just the beginning.

They are [also developing](http://vimeo.com/blog/post:523?ref=hypebot.com) a Pay-To-View service "giving video creators of all types flexible tools to charge for access to your videos, with no coding required."

DailyMotion is also [said](http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2012/09/19/vimeo-dailymotion-court-filmmakers-in-youtubes-shadow/?ref=hypebot.com) to be upping its [MotionMaker](http://www.dailymotion.com/us/motionmaker?ref=hypebot.com) creators program.

**Monetizing Music Videos with VideofyMe**

Many programs for grassroots video professionals such as YouTube's [Creator Hub](http://www.youtube.com/yt/creators/?ref=hypebot.com) were designed for video personalities, talking heads and oddball content.

However a more professional looking possiblity is [VideofyMe](http://www.videofy.me/?ref=hypebot.com) a [Swedish video platform](http://www.videofy.me/about?ref=hypebot.com) designed to [monetize videos](http://www.videofy.me/makemoney?ref=hypebot.com).  
More background is available from [The Next Web](http://thenextweb.com/apps/2012/06/22/videofyme-introduces-in-app-editing-and-sharing-features-to-make-monetizing-video-even-easier/?ref=hypebot.com).

**CD Baby's YouTube Guide for Musicians**

YouTube does have a [Creator Playbook](http://www.youtube.com/yt/creators/playbook.html?ref=hypebot.com) to help those who make videos in their Creator program.

But did you know CD Baby recently [announced](http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2012/9/prweb9898455.htm?ref=hypebot.com) the release of [The Ultimate YouTube Guide For Musicians](http://members.cdbaby.com/campaigns/request-youtube-guide.aspx?ref=hypebot.com)? It's a free guide with lots of tips on making money from videos on YouTube.

**Bonus:** [Translate your YouTube captions](http://youtubecreator.blogspot.com/2012/09/build-global-audience-on-youtube-by.html?ref=hypebot.com) and reach a broader audience.
