Learn from my Horrible Mistake with Jukin Media

Couldn't you have heavily branded your footage before licensing it? It furthermore seems as if you know how to create viral content but you apparently need to work on your advertising skills.

I had it watermarked, but they edited it out. My biggest problem was that they let LAD Bible post the full video on their page. Once a video is up on facebook, no one ever goes to youtube to watch it
 
A simple watermark obviously doesn't do the job. You could try to have your URL e.g. on printed on clothes in the video.
 
I have no advice to offer. Just want to say, "That sucks and I'm sorry." You are a talented film maker and you will still get the level of success that you seek.
 
This is nearly the same exact issue from this thread yttalk . com / threads/is-this-a-good-idea.208102/

No one really understands the significance of giving up ownership of your video to someone else. What you should've done is agree to some sort of sponsorship, partnership, or freelance contribution, not just give up YOUR content for THEM, in the hopes that it'll help you. Viewers don't care about your watermark, and they don't care about seeing the video again on another channel. You gave up all your rights and exponential benefits when giving your videos to jukin media.

Which is in principle nothing bad if you are doing it for he money. There's only a problem when you are originally doing it for exposure and even then it can work with the proper in-built branding.
 
jukin media is always asking me for my videos, I truly don't see any benefit to sharing rights to my content at all

Yea you are right. Definitely won't make that mistake again. . I just filmed another project that should go viral again, this time i won't make the same mistake. I studied the way they made my video grow and now i know what to do[DOUBLEPOST=1458583862,1458583696][/DOUBLEPOST]

I don't think it would hurt with some of your old videos that don't get very many hits....but i would not do it with any videos that you like. I did it because that video had been sitting at a low view count for so long, so i thought it couldn't hurt (but i guesss i should have had a little more faith in my work). I learned a lot from the way they grew that video, maybe i will write an article about it.
