This is by far the worst company ever first off they don’t keep your dashboard updated they lie and give you the runaround They claim my video was only updated to YouTube. But one day I was wondering why I wasn’t getting the money I was promised and I googled the name they put under my video I found my video on countless websites run in ads making money from my video this company is untrustworthy and will give you the runaround and profit from your video

Hi Ray - Your skepticism is understandable, and I will attempt to address it here. ViralHog is fully transparent with revenue received from partners, but there is an inherent delay in some usage being reported and showing in the Dashboard. For example, we have some partners who request a license but don't publish the video or confirm usage until weeks or even months later in some cases. To address concerns like yours, we offer all customers a tool to report spotted usage and have our compliance team verify it is permitted. Because we share our customers' interest in maximizing licensing revenue, you can rest assured we do everything we can to prevent unauthorized use, often engaging in legal action on their behalf. You mention seeing your video on various websites not showing in your Dashboard. This can sometimes be YouTube "embeds" that appear to be hosted by the website but are actually an extension of an authorized YouTube copy with any revenue attributed to it. If you have any further concerns about this topic or any other, please reach out to our support staff and they'll be thrilled to assist you. Thanks for understanding.
Do not trust this company
Do not trust this company. They have further victimized a victim while profiting from it tremendously as I have filed a complaint with the FTC. If you believe that you have been given the run around after signing a contract with ViralHog, contact me and I will gladly show you my experience with ViralHog with a stack of hard evidence to prove the consortium that ViralHog is not truthful nor is the reporting on YouTube correct. Educate yourself before ever allowing this company to get an ounce of money from any of your viral content.

Hi Amanda - ViralHog offers complete transparency regarding both our terms and revenue received, including direct data from YouTube where applicable. We do this not only out of contractual obligation, but because we believe it's best to have informed and comfortable customers. You can see this philosophy reflected in the majority of the reviews. If you have transacted with us and are unhappy or have doubts about anything at all, please reach out to our support staff and they will gladly work with you to resolve your issue or answer any questions. Thanks for understanding.

Hi, Jose! I've asked our support staff to research your account. We can monetize only views that occur after we begin representing a video, and when advertisers choose to run ads. One video on one platform may generate $1,000 from 100,000 views, while another may generate $0 from 10 million views. The type of content and many other factors are involved. What we can assure you is that we've paid millions of dollars to our customers over the years and believe we have the highest average payouts in the industry. Thanks for your business, and please let us know of any other concerns.

Viral Hog has always been very professional. When I first talked with the folks at Bozeman I was very impressed especially with the young lady from Auburn University. I can't remember her name. So keep up the good work and WARRRRRRRRR EAGLE.

Shane - Very kind words, and we are pleased to hear you're happy with our services. Thanks for your continued business.
To be honest
To be honest, I wasn't sure what I was getting into. But all my questions were answered in a timely fashion and all my concerns were addressed. Since the video had my 8 year old son in it, it brought up another set of concerns as well. But Chris at ViralHog handled them all and made me feel comfortable. It's only been a couple months, but I'm very glad I did it. The response to the video has been overwhelming! And the first check was way more then I thought it would be. So thank you ViralHog!

Nice Job & Legit
I posted a bear video on YouTube & ViralHog contacted me to purchase the rights. The contract was straight forward & payments came. I would do it again. I only wish it was easier to see who, price and when they sold videos to track my royalty payments.
Other than that Great Job

I'm grateful to have found ViralHog!
I'm grateful to have found ViralHog as it has been very entertaining during my stressful work days. I have a video that did very well and ViralHogs picked it up. I was VERY pleased with the prompt and friendly Customer Service I personally received. I've learned more than I deserve from Hunter Schmitz, Content researcher, as I asked him hard to answer questions. Thank you to all at Viral Hog!
