Contrary to popular myths, no digital publisher is too small or under-resourced to capitalize on video monetization. A robust ecosystem of affordable, license-free technology and content syndication partners are ready to help you unlock new revenue sources, even if you’ve never created a single video.
But navigating the complex landscape of video content can be daunting, even for digital publishing veterans. Our team at EX.CO is excited to share a new resource for media leaders, “The Publisher’s Blueprint for Achieving Successful Video Monetization at Scale.” This comprehensive guide equips publishers of all sizes with the knowledge and tools needed to grow faster with video in 2024 and beyond.
Whether you’re launching a program for the first time or looking to level up an existing one, this blueprint is your guide to maximizing every revenue lever at your disposal, from player types and syndication libraries to advanced supply and demand strategies.
Why You Need This Blueprint
