The Submission Process

The first step to selling your movie on Amazon Prime is to submit it for consideration. Amazon Prime Video Direct (PVD) is the platform that filmmakers and distributors can use to upload their titles. Before submitting your movie, make sure it meets Amazon’s content guidelines. The guidelines cover topics such as video quality, language, and copyright. Once you have confirmed that your movie meets the guidelines, you can sign up for PVD and upload your movie.

Rights and Royalties

When you sell your movie on Amazon Prime, you retain the rights to your content. However, you grant Amazon a license to use your movie on their platform. Amazon pays royalties to filmmakers and distributors based on the number of hours streamed by Prime members. The amount of royalties you receive depends on various factors, such as the country or region in which your movie is streamed. Amazon updates its royalty rates regularly, so you should keep an eye on their website to stay informed.

Marketing Your Movie

After your movie is available on Amazon Prime, you can increase its visibility by promoting it. Amazon provides various tools to help you market your movie, such as creating a custom poster and adding keywords that describe your title. You can also run advertising campaigns on Amazon to reach a broader audience. Additionally, you can use social media and other online platforms to promote your movie.

Conclusion

Selling your movie on Amazon Prime can be a profitable venture if you follow the submission guidelines, understand your rights and royalties, and market your movie effectively. Amazon Prime has a vast audience that is always looking for new content to stream. By selling your movie on Amazon Prime, you can reach a broader audience and grow your revenue.
