Monetize Vimeo with ‘Tip this video’ Button

Vimeo has lunch a new Tip Jar feature.

When activated, it adds a ‘Tip this video‘ button below the video. Viewers so inclined can give between $1 and $500 via credit cards or PayPal.

To use this you must:

  1. Have a verified PayPal account
  2. Have a paid Vimeo account

There are some other restrictions so check out the FAQ. And recognize that Vimeo will deduct 15% off the top.

I would like Vimeo to allow users to customize the button. To me, ‘Tip this video’ sounds a little cheap. How about ‘I support this artist’, ‘Thank You $$$’ or ‘Become a Patron’?
