How Do I Get Paid?
Admin Feb 26, 2009
How can I make money on Break?
You make money by uploading ORIGINAL content onto our site: videos/short films, pictures, and games. Original means you produced, created or shot the content and own it. And you can prove it! We also hold contests throughout the year for members to enter. If we post your content on one of our featured pages, you will be offered money!!! It's that simple. We'll contact you directly, send you some paperwork to fill out, and voila! Consider yourself that much richer! To start making money go to “Get Paid To Upload” page.
- Upload videos/short films: Your video must be original. Your video can not contain copyrighted music or images. And you must be able to get signed release forms (we will provide) from anyone whose face is clearly visible in the video. If your video is featured on our Homepage, we will contact you and send you the necessary paperwork to fill out and return. Upon receipt of your paperwork, you will be paid via PayPal. For more details about payment for videos see Upload Videos.
- Upload pictures: Your picture must be original meaning you took the picture yourself. Pictures copied from other sites or received through an email does not qualify. And trust us - we've seen every photo that was ever uploaded onto the net and we get all those silly email forwards before anyone else. In order to prove ownership, you will also have to provide a high quality uncompressed original copy as proof that you took it. If your original picture is featured in our Break Gallery, we will contact you and send you the necessary paperwork to fill out and return. Upon receipt of your paperwork, you will be paid via PayPal. For more details about payment for pictures see Upload Pictures.
- Upload games: If we post your ORIGINAL game and you want to sell it, we will contact you and send you the necessary paperwork to fill out and return. Upon receipt of your paperwork, you will be paid up to $2,000 via PayPal. For more details about payment for games see Upload Games.
