Vine, it's been one of the top mobile apps since it's release, but can you make a living
off of it?
We sat down with one of the top Viners to find out just that.
Let's send it over to the lead reporter on the scene.
Good evening Eric and welcome to The Magruder Report.
What exactly is Vine?
Well, Vine is a 6 second video app.
You know, you just make videos of anything.
Anything indeed.
Using only your phone, users create vines ranging from intricate stop motion, to pranking
friends.
However, some choose other ways to use their friends.
Vines can go viral as well, like this one.
Ohh.
Ohh kill em.
Ohhhh.
Does this dance seem familiar?
Ohh kill em.
Even NBA broadcasters are getting in the mix.
Ohh kill em.
Ohh kill em D-Rose.
But can you make money off 6-second videos?
Are Viners getting paid?
Some are getting paid, not all of them.
It depends on the amount of followers you have.
Are you getting paid Eric Dunn?
What?
I don't want to answer that right now, you know?
Hypothetically speaking, are Viners making money?
Yes, a typical sponsored Vine could be anywhere from $300 to $60,000.
Looks like I should be vining right now.
Haha.
Hahahaha.
Successful Viners are cashing in for sure.
In a recent article, Andrew Bachelor reported he charges $1,000 per 100,000 followers.
Vine seems to be where the party's at indeed, where talent agencies are looking for the
next break-out star.
Some YouTubers are looking to Vine as well.
YouTube is my first love.
It always will be my first love, but Vine is like the new hotness.
When you do anything on social networks and you want to build a following, you gotta kind
of keep up with the trends and roll with the waves.
But how long will this wave last?
I think it'll last for another five years maybe.
I just think people will eventually get tired with it, like anything.
Thank you for your time.
