There are two distinct features of Contenseo’s system. The first is the ‘Licence Finder’ which allows you to find who owns the copyright of a piece of work and license (buy) the content from them.
The second feature, which we discuss in this guide, is the ‘Licensing as a Service’ feature. This allows creators, publishers, and content owners to set up an online licensing department and license (sell) their content.
As a creator, you own the copyright to your work
If you have published, or stored your work online, you own the copyright to that content.
However, what do you currently do if someone wants to license a piece of your content?
That’s where Contenseo comes in, it allows you to register your copyrighted works and license (sell) them to licensees.
Such work can include articles, images, videos and podcasts.
What is content licensing?
In it’s simplest terms, content licensing is a legal agreement that allows you to use someone else’s intellectual property, such as written text, images, videos, music, podcasts, or software.
It’s like borrowing something with a contract that outlines how you can use it, for how long, and often, and for what fee.
How to make more money from your existing content
To make money from your existing content, you need to make it available to license.
How can I make my content available to license?
By using Contenseo’s ‘Licensing as a Service’, you can make all your content available to licence in just a few simple steps.
Step 1: Open your Contenseo account
Step 2: Enter the URLs, the pages on the web, where your content was originally published. For example, if you have an exclusive interview with a high profile figure, just upload the url or web page where the content was originally published.
Step 3: Add Contenseo’s ‘widget’ or WordPress plugin to your content management system
Once you complete these simple steps, your content is now available for people to license (buy).
Contenseo’s ‘Licensing as a Service’ aims to transform one of the world’s largest and most challenging industries.
Contenseo’s ambition is to help content creators and copyright holders all over the world make extra revenue and increase their profiles and the audiences who love their work.
