PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Metacafe, the world’s largest independent video site, today announced that the Producer Rewards™ program continues to deliver unprecedented earnings and visibility for content creators around the world. Two months after going live, Producer Rewards videos have been seen more than 27 million times. The top 8 creators have earned more than 10,000 each, and three creators have taken home more than $20,000 apiece.

Applications to the program more than tripled in the second month as video creators around the globe jumped at the chance to profit from their best work. Ryan Hoyme, who has now earned more than $22,000 with his instructional short videos spotlighting simple, effective massage techniques, explains the benefits of the Producer Rewards program for video creators: “I post massage videos to promote my business and my website, and share the health benefits of massage with people. I couldn't believe that I could earn so much money with my videos, but it happened on Metacafe! I believe that massage is something countless people can benefit from. Clearly, Metacafe is something that people can benefit from too. I know I did.”
