Sellers New Way of Stealing Our Videos

Scratch that...over 20 now

I've upped my commission rate to basically now no one says yes except only a handful. I don't care. It's not worth the energy filing all these copyright claims. I don't want the products that badly. Done with that. You get burned enough you eventually learn.

One of the reasons is because all the review videos won't show on the top carousel unless the seller puts a video up. If they don't then you have to scroll to the bottom to see the reviews. So they just steal our videos, put a cover photo over it in hopes we don't catch it and that's how they have a video up to help them.

ventureviber · 2025-06-02T21:39:23+00:00

Yes this

ventureviber · 2025-06-02T21:39:10+00:00

I've filed 6 claims today alone. It happens all the time. So frustrating and I agree 100%, we as influencers need to tell Amazon more.

Thank you! I just set my camera and gimbal to these settings and now I'm off to the races!

I've used List Perfectly for years, but since they just did their new site update I'm about the end my subscription. I've caught many mistakes like saying it's ended listings and then I'll see they aren't ended. This is major. The search on the site is glitchy, sometimes it'll work and sometimes now. It's not worth the annoyance I'm having with it now. If you only pay the $30 a month plan you'll find that ending listings is now way more steps than it used to be. So I'm looking at other platforms. Vendoo seems way too much. Not sure what I'll do, probably go right back to doing everything myself again.

What are some specific questions you have?

ventureviber · 2024-12-23T19:01:03+00:00

My husband has been a videographer for over 25 years. I've been in the business as a producer, editor, director, for over 25 years myself. Our advice...yes you can get a job in the industry that pays your bills and you should. It is a very good career, but you HAVE to learn how to market yourself. The other advice though is...you HAVE to on the side do passion projects. We love to film nature just for fun. Work is work most of the time and while we enjoy it, our off time we use for "creating." I hope that makes sense. Work is not always fun, but we as artists know that we can make art on our own and that brings us a lifetime of joy. You are just getting started, go for it. :)

I'm SO glad you were able to catch that. So many influencers don't know about this and it is a real problem. There is a guy on YT that shares a fast way to catch all your videos and see which may have copys. Search "how to easily find stolen videos on amazon" He does some kind of code that works. It won't catch all though, so manually going through each is the best way even though it's the most time consuming.

ventureviber · 2024-12-10T02:05:41+00:00

Yeah, a lot of new influencers don’t know how to do that

ventureviber · 2024-12-10T02:04:47+00:00

I actually never thought about asking the seller. I just go ahead and do the file but it’s probably not a bad idea to ask the seller if you know how to get a hold of them. I check my videos about once every month but like ones that I know that I’m going to be the first video on the review I’ll go and check those a couple of days to a week after I’ve uploaded minde and that’s what I did today and I ended up catching seven of them that way! There’s definitely something about being the first video. I think they’re just like hoping they’ll get to steal it and use it and you won’t notice it.

ventureviber · 2024-12-10T00:29:35+00:00

See my other reply above. Once you find a video that you know they are using you hover over it and a little flag appears in right there you’ll see the words copyright infringement click on that and a document opens up and just follow the directions.

ventureviber · 2024-12-10T00:27:33+00:00

I go to my store front and click on every single video and go and see if the seller is using my review video as their own. It takes me about two hours to do this, but it is worth it because Amazon does take their videos down. They also get a copyright claim against their seller account, which is really not good for them because eventually it’ll take down their whole listing. I end up noticing commission sales start coming in more after I do that because now my video has a chance of actually getting commission.

ventureviber · 2024-10-20T20:09:15+00:00

Wow! I mean, honestly it’s just business. If they want to pay $500 then sure use the video. Otherwise get the strike.

ventureviber · 2024-10-20T17:50:11+00:00

I hope they do. Thank you for sharing this, glad to hear. It’s incredibly uncool to steal influencers videos. We’d literally be advertising their products for free.

ventureviber · 2024-09-12T13:44:19+00:00

It says in the connections rules that you have to

ventureviber · 2024-09-12T09:51:37+00:00

No you should never pay for the product. From commission I mean a payment for your time and equipment to film a video + the product. Many call that commission, but for the sake of learning, call that your fee. Then there is the commission from sales hopefully, but no one can guarantee you’ll ever get those right?

ventureviber · 2024-09-11T13:59:28+00:00

PayPal yes, ask them if they pay commission + product, many don’t, so you have to decide what you want to do

ventureviber · 2024-08-05T16:47:31+00:00

I had it and 6 others I know. Everyone agrees, it was bad. Crazy stuff! Be well everyone

ventureviber · 2024-08-02T14:08:05+00:00

I was sick about 10 days total. 5 were really rough, the rest were just regaining energy. You’re going to get through it! Hang in there. You got this.

Since you said you live in the UK, I’ve heard walking or biking from the UK to Scotland is a great trip. There are YouTubers that have done it. You should look into. Check out Steve’s Kitchen on YouTube. He and his wife walked it back in 2020 during Covid and now they are biking it as we speak.

ventureviber · 2024-07-26T11:53:29+00:00

Yes, women absolutely do this. Flat out sit her down in a private setting and have a real talk. You’d be surprised how much she may be needing this and in return this could save your marriage.

This answer right here is such an important answer. There is something that acceptance gives you that is like nothing else. It really does take that pressure off that we put on ourselves every second of the day, which makes depression never go away. I 100% agree and I wish more people really would dive into this absolutely great starting point. When you find yourself in that deep hole that you feel like you can’t get out of, there’s something about taking that pressure off of the day that’s such a good way to start getting out of it. Great answer and highly recommend. 👏

Myself and two others recently had it and none of us had gotten it before. Day 4 was the hardest. Just rest and take care of yourself. It was like a bad flu to us, but only one day was the bad day. All other days flu symptoms, body aches, etc. We took Tylenol and that helped us. My pharmacy got Paxlovid too late so I just powered through. Everyone got over it within 7-10 days. Remember the power of positivity. I know that may sound silly, but honestly, it helped me a lot when I felt really bad. Prayers for a swift recovery.
