Video selling guide
Sell your videos on BentBox
Sell individual videos on BentBox alongside your Boxes of photos. Upload, set your price as you go, and use your Videos page as a marketing surface for the rest of your catalogue.
At a glance
- What a BentBox Video is
- A Video on BentBox is a single video sold on its own, listed on your personal page and in the public Videos directory. It is separate from a Box, which is a bundle of files sold as one purchase.
- How to publish one
- Click the upload icon at the top of any BentBox page, choose New Video, upload the file and set your price. Price and settings can be changed at any time afterwards.
- What you earn
- You receive 100% of the price you set. The BentBox commission is added on top and paid by the buyer.
BentBox sells two things: Boxes, which bundle photos and videos into one purchase, and Videos, which are sold individually. Videos are not a replacement for Boxes. They are the format most people already know how to buy, and they are the easiest entry point you can offer a new customer.
1. Upload your video
Click the upload icon at the top of the page and choose New Video. For large files, use the dedicated video uploader rather than the drag-and-drop area, which is built for smaller batches of images.
2. Set your price as you upload
You can set the price while the file is still uploading, so a video can go live the moment it finishes processing. Nothing is locked in: price, title, description and every other setting can be edited later from the video's admin page.
If you are unsure where to start, Pricing strategy walks through how length, exclusivity and how often you publish should shape the number.
3. Share the link
Every video you publish appears on your personal BentBox page next to your Boxes, Posts and Collections, and in the public Videos directory. Share the direct link to a single video when you are promoting that release, and share your personal page link when you want people to see everything.
4. Use Videos to sell your Boxes
This is the part most creators miss. A Video is a sales surface, not just a product.
- Publish one longer standalone video and mention the related Box in its description.
- Use a strong single video as the affordable first purchase, then let the Box be the upsell.
- Group related videos and Boxes into a Collection so one link shows the whole series.
5. Length and quality beat volume
Free tube sites have trained buyers to expect short clips. That is exactly why longer, better work stands out. Ten minutes and up gives you room to build something with a beginning and an end, and a video that feels like a piece of work rather than an offcut is the one people come back for.
Two practical habits that show up in the sales data: write descriptions that tell the buyer what happens without describing every frame, and use as many relevant hashtags as you can, because those hashtags become the keywords search engines index for your page.
