FAQ

Simply put, Stringr is a marketplace that allows media organizations (such as TV news stations) to buy video from both amateur and professional videographers.

The media organizations can preview all footage. If they like what they see, they can immediately download the video. Once they do, you (the videographer) will get paid the next business day!

Stringr also brings work to you! If you download our app and enable push notifications, Stringr will notify you when the media outlets want something filmed.

You can change your email at any point by logging into the app and going to profile. There, click ‘edit’ on the top right hand corner, and you will be able to change your email.

Make sure your videos are broadcast-ready with clear, steady shots. And if you are filming from a smartphone, hold it horizontally!

When uploading, tag liberally and accurately. Customers can search videos by location and keyword, so the better tagged your video, the more likely it is to be picked up.

ABOUT STRINGR

Stringr was started by two friends – one a former news producer and the other a product manager and consultant who started his first company in high school. Lindsay Stewart spent over 10 years in TV news producing segments for ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News and Bloomberg, among others. That’s when the idea for Stringr came to her. Brian McNeill spent over 15 years in product management and management consulting which are fancy words for – he’s a business guy. Brian had the idea for his first company in high school and launched SureSize shortly after that. 15 years of big company experience made him yearn to go back to building a company from scratch.
