What Is Rumble?

Rumble is a Video Platform where you can watch videos, exchange videos, host videos, earn money on your Videos, Rumble videos and invite new users.

I heard about Rumble from some network marketers on Webtalk who had used this Video tool for a while. Some of them had made quite a lot of money too just for uploading videos about their cats and dogs and travels. They told me ” You just have to start using Rumble – It is an awesome platform”.

However, I am a bit skeptic to unknown tools I never heard about before. Maybe you are too?

I started doing some research about it to find out more. And it is my research I share with you today. I am sure I am not the only one with questions about Rumble.

I hope this review will serve you well and that your questions about Rumble will be answered.

Final Discussion

I am myself a You Tube user and new Rumble user. However, I think Rumble is a great alternative or addition to You Tube and Vimeo. It is definitely a platform I want to put in my marketing toolbox and use. A place for content creators to reach a different audience, distributors and syndicates. It is also a great way to increase your traffic and earn money while doing it.

As I mentioned above it does not cost a lot for the basic monetization package, but for a small business it can be a huge investment to make.

I personally know many marketers and brands who have started using this platform because they have a referral program and it is easier to start making money with Rumble.

I think the chances to earn on your videos depends on the content, value and quality you can give your audience. Making a good description of the video will also help you succeed on this platform.

Should you use this platform for your Videos? My answer to that is Why not? Whether you choose to use it as an addition to other platforms or Just use this one is up to you.
