The best in the video licensing business
Hello, it's (Tom and Mimi) from youtube. I've been with Viralhog for over 5 years, what can i say about them... they are professional. honest and reliable. my experience has been great. they made my video go super viral. Im still getting paid for a video they signed in 2020 (Synchronized Cats) the video has been shown on all the major Japanese TV stations. Viralhog is the best video licensing company on the globe. Thanks

Thank you so much, Tom and Mimi! We truly appreciate your loyalty and kind words over the years. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you, and we’re thrilled to see Synchronized Cats continue to find new audiences and success. Your trust means a lot to our team, and we’re grateful to be part of your journey.
ViralHog is the only way to monetize your viral videos!
What started as a funny video of our cat quickly turned into something much bigger, with views and shares across multiple platforms. If ViralHog hadn’t reached out, I would have missed the opportunity to earn revenue from something I never expected to monetize.
They handled everything — promotion, distribution, and revenue collection — and made the entire process easy to understand. Any time I had a question, their team was friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful.
Here’s hoping our cat keeps creating content for ViralHog to work their magic on!

Wonderful people!
Carla reached out to me to buy one of my videos and was so kind and helpful! Micah also reached out to ask how my experience was and that says a lot about a company!

They sent me a copyright strike for my…
They sent me a copyright strike for my own content which they have no rights in. It looked similar to theirs of two whales breaching but they didn’t verify before sending the copyright strike affecting my account. I called and they are working on taking it down but they need to do better. These errors affect creators livelihood.
EDIT: they got it taken down and were apologetic but it was very upsetting and took a very long time to fix the error.
EDIT: IT HAPPENED AGAIN! My video renewed only to flag it and get it taken down a SECOND TIME! Very frustrating to have this error on their part last months. I have no relationship or contract with them whatsoever so this was extremely frustrating. Finally my content is back up but it cost me money and time.

Initial experience with ViralHog
My initial experience with ViralHog has been fantastic so far. I had a notable video posted on FB, one of the ViralHog representatives reached out to me and explained the business opportunity and company itself.
The ViralHog website and portal was easy to use, the viralhog representatives are very professional and helped every step of the way. So nothing but positive vibes on my end so far.

They pay me and protect me!
ViralHog is legitimate and trustworthy, and they have put several hundred dollars in my pocket over the last eleven months. "Several hundred" might not sound like a lot, but this is for a video that took almost a year to crack a million views on YouTube. So me grossing about $900 in less than a year is a great outcome!
But the money is not even the thing I'm most excited about:
ViralHog provides me with a simple and easy-to-use tool that allows me to report all unauthorized, unlicensed uses of my video. And there have been several of those on multiple platforms.
It is really something when I see some account with tens of thousands of followers steal my video, post it without giving me credit, and put their own watermark on it!
Therefore, it is SUCH A GOOD FEELING to be able to quickly and easily report the copyright-infringing use to ViralHog and sit back and allow them to take care of it.
This is much easier than having to approach each individual platform and figure out how to go through their DMCA take-down request process.
Other good stuff: ViralHog is a small company that has real human beings working for it. The person who originally reached out to me about licensing my video is always available to answer any questions I might have.
If you have a video that's really taking off, or has the potential to go viral, it's quite possible you'll make a lot more than I have. Remember, my video only just recently got a million views on YouTube. That's small potatoes.
I can't say when or if I might capture another video that has the potential to be a viral hit, but if I do, ViralHog will be the first people I talk to about protecting my rights and getting paid!

Pretty straightforward
Pretty straightforward. They contacted me about a video I posted on Facebook. Thought maybe it was a scam but it was straightforward and easy to figure out. I have a login where I can add more videos. Get paid every six months if they generate money. Pretty easy.

1 star video generated $2,500+
I have had two videos up with ViralHog for about 3 years now and have been so surprised at the return. I wasn't expecting even a dollar, the videos are not anything special and definitely not giving off any "WOW!" factor. But to my surprise, I have generated over $2,500. These videos were just random at home clips that I never thought were worth anything.
Is there a guarantee that you will make money? No. But you may as well give ViralHog the benefit of the doubt, because if they can generate thousands of dollars off my 1 star videos... you never know how much they can make for you.
The best part... there is NO DOWNSIDE! I have since submitted 3 other random videos to them, they haven't generated any $$, but I also never had to pay them and you never know, maybe they will get picked up next month and I will get the email from ViralHog saying "Payment on the way!".

Great company to work with!
I have been working with ViralHog since 2022 when they approached me to license my first viral video. Since then, I have gone on to license seven other videos with them. The process is super easy and I appreciate how I am able to see who “buys” my video(s) and for how much. I have worked with other companies and they do not do that, so you start to wonder if anything is happening. ViralHog takes care of everything and you get to relax!

This company is a scam
This company is a scam! They have the "customer" removed original post that they may have given reshare permission on so they can file copyright claims on anyone that reshared it prior to them taking over rights management for that content. A complete hustle and scam! At no time did any ask for the content to be removed. Full credit for the original creator was posted. Now viral hog wants a payment (ransom) to remove the claim request. Unfortunately they found a gimmick in a unregulated section of the internet.

We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. It's important to understand that this matter does not represent a legitimate customer experience with our company but rather involves a legal issue regarding intellectual property protection. Our actions are guided by agreements with content licensors to ensure their copyrights are safeguarded. This is not a personal attack but rather an adherence to the legal obligations we uphold on their behalf.
To address your claim that ViralHog is a “scam” and demands “ransom” for copyright claims, enforcing copyright is a legal right, not an unlawful act. There are multiple ways to address the unauthorized use of copyrighted material, including issuing copyright claims. Offering a settlement is a standard resolution method to avoid prolonged disputes. This process is entirely legal, transparent, and in line with industry practices.
A copyright holder is not required to contact an infringer before issuing a copyright claim. The responsibility to avoid infringement lies with the user, not the content owner. Crediting the original creator does not equate to permission to use copyrighted material. We detect and manage millions of copyright infringements each year, making it impractical to contact each individual before taking protective action.
Regarding your specific situation, you mentioned receiving permission to use the video but have not provided evidence supporting this claim. We honor any legitimate permissions granted before our agreement was established. However, it remains the user’s responsibility to ensure proper licensing before publishing or monetizing content.
Additionally, we do not require our licensors to remove their original posts—this decision is entirely up to them. Our role is to protect their intellectual property and enforce copyright where necessary.
We strive to handle all cases fairly and respectfully. Our actions are rooted in our commitment to ethical business practices and copyright law. If you wish to resolve this matter amicably, we encourage you to review the situation and consider the appropriate next steps.
Thank you for your time and understanding.

Great company experience!
Have been using viral hog for several years as a creator on social media. Have had great experiences with the only complaint being payout. Payout only happens if there is a $75 or above balance. I have multiple videos with viral hog and all have balances at this time but are below that limit. Would love to see that changed as I have several hundred dollars across all videos at this time. Overall great company and will look forward to continuing to work with them !

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We truly appreciate your support and are grateful to have you as a valued creator.
We understand your concern regarding payouts and appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately, we are unable to combine balances across multiple videos. Each video operates under its own separate licensing agreement and is treated individually. Each video’s earnings are calculated separately, and a minimum balance of $75.00 is required for payout.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever have any questions—we’re always happy to help! We look forward to continuing our partnership with you.
I just LOVE working with Viralhog
I just LOVE working with Viralhog. I've been working with them on videos since novembre 2018 and I made 12k with one of my video since then. (2 years old refusing to walk)
