- As a former agency owner, I share my insights on how to sell animation videos at 3 different price levels.
⚡️ Acquire the skills needed for the $5000-game: bit.ly/scripts-video
How to sell animated explainer videos on Fiverr? How to move beyond that point and create an animation agency-selling videos at $500?
And what skills and assets are needed to escalate your revenue by delivering $5000-projects to enterprise customers?
As a result of running an animation agency for 3 years, I've learned a few things about selling animated videos that I want to share-in a simple and fun format.

Many subscribers of this channel have asked about the commercialization of explainers, animation videos, whiteboard videos, etc. How to monetize your animation work?
I used to monetize animation by selling it directly to customers. First, as a freelancer, selling videos through a friend's website agency. And later as an agency owner of my own company.
Today, my monetization model is a little different, but I still felt like sharing the learnings from those years. And the factors differ a lot based on what game you want to play.
The $50 game is largely based on low costs and selling on platforms like Fiverr and Upwork to get awareness around your offering.
The 500 game requires you to deliver complete animation videos-including script-writing, voice-overs, and animation.
The $5000 game depends on your ability to challenge clients on a strategic level. And on your portfolio and logo wall.
If you want to dive deeper into the skills I used to build a 6-figure animation agency, I've converted my knowledge into a series of courses.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing your pricing model. That's the hardest thing to figure out and most won't share. Thank-you for helping the rest of us out!

Hey Rued, thank you for making this valuable video, this is exactly the challenge i am facing these days. By the way are you still into this business, i have great expertise in motion animation work, how and where can i share my portfolio with you? May be you needed me some time :)
Bro, I want to do, but I don't have previous work to show as a portfolio, what advice would you give me to start, I am experienced mainly with 3D animation, I also know 2D animation but not so advance,. How to build my portfolio as I am new to market.??
Hi Rued. Fantastic informative video as always, it has answered a lot of questions I have been meaning to research. I have recently bought a Vyond license, but I have not seen their page about pre-video rights transfer. Where do I have to go to on the Vyond website/tool/app to find that page?

@@RuedRiisCom Yes, I found it thank you very much. Thank you so much for being so helpful!
Great vídeo, Rued!
You talked about Fiverr and UpWork to find the $50 client type.
And what about the $500 and $5000 game?
What''s the best way to find and approach them?
My last question is: after your agency career, what type of client/company do you think are more likely to pay for the $500/$5000 game?
Thank you once again!
Well, those clients aren't found on Fiverr :) In the beginning, we worked for our friends and connections, built up a strong portfolio and started getting referrals, as I talk about in the video. Then, we scaled our setup by creating a "price calculator" on our website, and drove traffic to it via Google Ads. That gave us a bunch of leads every week, I called up and scheduled meetings with, if they were genuinely interested. It's like a funnel, you know? At the end, a few of those leads became clients, so it all made sense financially in the end. And my great animators then made their videos, and I went out to me meet more potential clients.
@@RuedRiisCom great ideas, i'm gonna try it!
And what about the investment? Do you charge it at the beginning of the project or at the end? I've done more than 200 projects here in Brazil but when i start to sell to other places (like US or Europe) maybe people won't trust me!
Once again, thank you for your attention Rued!
if i was in the 50$ range, how many 50s do i offer for a short video? how long is the short video?
Hey Rued. Your videos are really helpful. Can you please explain the license terms of vyond in particular and other platforms also. What I've on Vyond's website, they say that we have to pay them freaking 99USD per video if we sell it to someone. Which I think makes totally impractical to work as an agency . Please help. Thank you.
try create studio
Incredible thank you so much for all of these information i just want to ask you for Something how can i find these companies to deal with them to sell my animation to them can you help me?
Thanks! Well you gotta build a portfolio and an audience that trusts in your skills. No shortcuts, just hard work. Join my Explain Academy if you want me to show you my way of going about it.
I just want to sell my own written animation story, might i sell it anywhere
How can I sell my own animation for voices my own cartoons?
Great video ❤️🌼
Can't we use adobe character animator and after effects?
Sure, it just takes 10x the time 🤗
Thanks!
You're welcome :)
This explanation....is PRICELESS...
How do I get started with video animation? I know nothing and would love to learn and go up the ladder
Maybe sign up for a free trial of Vyond, and then go check out my course Go Beyond Vyond - it's the best solution for learning this program from scratch :)
Which voice over software do you recommend?
I use GarageBand but any alternative works. Audacity is popular too.
Hi Rued, what is the cheapest animation software out there that allows you to resell the video to other people?
I guess that would be VideoScribe. But as you know "it takes money to make money" and the real money is in high-end videos where you need higher-end tools like Vyond. That's what I've experienced.
@@RuedRiisCom thank you for the info! Yes I agreed with what you said.
Thanks Ruid. But the question is why would any company invest such a huge amount just on an animated video. They can buy vyond themselves and hire an animater for their company. Its not as simple as you are describing.
Many times companies COULD hire an animator for their company BUT - consider the cost/benefit analysis. If you're only making 1 video a year or 1 video every quarter, the salary of an animator and the benefits you'll need to offer them to get them to work with you is far MORE than you'd pay to hire a company to do animated videos.
Furthermore, the in-house animator may not be a great voiceover artist or may not know multiple languages, so that's something the company is still going to have to pay more money to do.
I agree with Brandy, and I think of it like this: If you want a car, you don't go out an buy an assembly line and hire a mechanic. ONLY if you need A LOT of cars, right? So, the thousands of companies that only need 1-2 videos bought them from us, and the many companies who need videos on a weekly basis buy a Vyond license and train staff internally to produce them.
@@RuedRiisCom thanks and understood
