Video Content online
As business owners, active on social media with a professional online presence and an ever-changing digital landscape, we are constantly in search of quality video content that can be used, without breaking the budget … or copyright and usage conditions.
Free Video Content for Business Owners to use
The team at Easy As Marketing have scoured the internet for some of the best sources for FREE video content that can be USED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES (aka to support your business writing), skimmed the terms of use of these sites and believe that the videos that are on these sites can be used for your commercial purposes in social content or blog articles etc. Generally they cannot be sold “as-is”, so you can’t do up a file of videos and sell them, and in many cases cannot be created into other videos purely for resale as the videos. They can generally be used as components of marketing videos to sell OTHER products or services.
Complete your Due Diligence
We highly recommend that you double check the individual site terms and conditions to ensure they are suited to your specific needs.
Different sites have different types of video content, so some will be more suited to your industry also. Explore to see which are most suited to you. Please note that there may also be restrictions on usage if depicting smoking/drinking or illegal activity.
