Can I pay to be featured on ausbiz?
No. There are lots of businesses which will charge a fee to create content with you and distribute it to an audience. We don’t want to blur the lines between journalism and advertising. Particularly in times like these, we want our audience to have confidence that the guests appearing on our channel have not bought their way on to try and sell something. Our only goal right now is to provide sensible, credible information to the ausbiz audience.
Why am I being asked to pay afterwards?
At ausbiz, our business model is different from most media companies. We don’t charge our users to watch the channel, which means we can grow our audience quickly. We believe that the credible, quality content we’re producing has a value and so we ask you to pay a fee to use it. To be clear, there is no requirement or expectation that you will purchase a video of your interview once you have appeared on ausbiz. And, your decision whether or not to purchase will have no bearing on whether we invite you again.
If I buy the video, how can I use it?
If you purchase an MP4 copy of your interview you’re free to publish it to your own website, or to your social accounts such as LinkedIn or YouTube. We’ll send you a link where you’ll have the ability to download versions at various resolutions.
If you purchase the Link/Embed Code option we’ll publish your video to our content management system and keep it there. You’ll be able to share the link with your network and it will click through to a ‘clean’ page where they’ll be able to watch. Alternatively, you can use the embed code we’ll supply you so you can present the video on your website.
Won’t my interview be in the ausbiz app anyway?
It’s quite possible your interview will be published as catch-up content on our app. However, we set limits on the length of time this content is available so if you share a link to the content we can’t guarantee it will be available in the future. You should also be aware if you share a link to your interview with a non-ausbiz subscriber they’ll need to sign up in order to view it.
Can I edit the video?
We understand that, particularly for social media, you may prefer to publish a shorter version of your interview. If you purchase an MP4 interview you may edit it into a shorter segment before publishing. We do have one restriction; you’re not permitted to edit the content in such a way that it changes the meaning of either the questions being asked by our presenters, or the answers you have given.
Can I show the video in public?
Yes. You may show the video at events, or onsite at your office.
What about advertising?
What we are licensing you is the ability to publish and/or share your video, provided it has not been edited in such a way that it changes the meaning of the content. The license does not allow you to use the content for the purposes of advertising. For clarity you must not;
Sponsor or boost the content on a social platform
Use the content in any form of advertisement
Present the content in any form so as to expressly state or imply that your appearance on ausbiz is an endorsement by us of your business, product or service
