What is Rumble?
Rumble’s website is very similar to Youtube’s as both are online video-sharing platforms. Rumble was founded by Chris Pavlovski, a Canadian entrepreneur, in 2013.
Rumble can be used by people from all over the world. It receives nearly 150 million visitors monthly.
We have our youtube video about this website too. So, if you prefer watching a video instead of reading an article, then check that out.
Rumble review (Is it legit?)
Rumble.com is no doubt a legit website to earn money. You can earn money from here by just uploading videos on their platform.
The monetization of Rumble is not as complicated as Youtube. It is very simple which, I will explain further in this article.
How to use Rumble?
Rumble is not a complicated website to use in fact, it’s really simple to use rumble. Like every other website, you just need to create an account in it and then you will be able to publish videos on it.
The video will circulate on the rumble app, their third-party sites, and youtube on the basis of the license you choose and you will earn money as more and more people watch your video.

First of all, you will find three different types of accounts, free account, Publisher, and Business. You can blindly go for the free account as it is sufficient for all the activities you need, like watching and uploading videos and earning from the site.
The free account and the publisher account are free, i.e, you don’t have to pay anything to use these accounts, but you do need to pay an amount for the business account.
One of the three options being selected, you will have to fill up the details, name, username, password, e-mail, and country and then just agree to the terms and conditions and click on “Register” your account will be almost ready to use.
You will receive a mail which will contain a link, after you click on the link your account will be activated and the account creation process will be done.
How to verify your rumble account?
If you want to earn from this website, you will first need to verify your account. As you go to the account verification page, your account status will be shown as “Not Verified”.
So, to verify your account you will need to provide your phone number. In the first box, choose your country code, and in the second box provide your phone number, then select the “Text me” button, after that, you will receive an OTP and as you provide the OTP, your account will be verified.
Rumble account verification in India
The account verification process is really simple you just need to provide your phone number and you will get an OTP, provide the OTP on the next page and your account will be verified. But, even though being this simple, the account doesn’t get verified in India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh, to be specific the South Asian countries.
The site displays that their services are not available in the country at this time after your request for an OTP.
How can you earn money using Rumble?
There are two ways through which you can earn money in Rumble:-
- Uploading videos.
- Referral program.
· Uploading videos:
The best and most popular way to earn money from Rumble is to upload videos. The process of uploading video in rumble is very easy.
To upload a video in rumble, you will find a camera icon at the top right of the home screen. After you click on it, a page will open up where you will be able to upload your video, manage title, thumbnail, and tags for the videos.
The more SEO-optimized titles and tags you will put, your video will show up more in the feeds of people just like on youtube. So, do that section carefully and if your video is not original then it won’t be a problem too, but make sure to make some edits and changes in the video before uploading.
After you have filled up the title, tags, and description of the video, you will have to click on the “upload” button. A new page will show up then where you will need to choose between one of the four licenses. Now, in the next paragraph, I will provide you the details about the licenses so that your doubts like “what is the use of these licenses?” and “which license will be the best?” will be cleared.
The basic use of these licenses is the distribution of the video that you uploaded. The distribution of the video will depend upon the license that you choose among these four licenses.
The four types of license are:
- Exclusive video management.
- Video Management (excluding youtube).
- Rumble player.
- Personal use.
· Exclusive video management:
This license is the best license to earn the most revenue among the others because as you select this license, rumble will fully distribute the video across their network. They get full rights to the video you uploaded through this license which helps them to promote all across their networks. Rumble’s network includes rumble platform, youtube, and MSN, Yahoo, AoL, and others which are their third-party partners.
· Video management (excluding youtube):
This license is almost similar to the exclusive video management license but the difference is that in this license the video doesn’t get distributed over youtube, it just gets distributed over the rumble platform and their 3rd party partners.
· Rumble player:
This license doesn’t give the authority of distributing the video over youtube or the other 3rd party partners. If you select this license then the video that you upload will be just distributed and monetized only over rumble platform.
· Personal use:
This license as the name suggests is for personal use. If you select this license then rumble won’t promote it on their website as well, though the video will be there on the rumble platform. You will be able to share the link to the video with your friends and family. This license provides you with full control and rights over the video you upload. You won’t generate any revenue from this license, so if you want to earn then don’t choose this option.
. Referral Program:
The second option through which you can earn money from rumble is the referral program that it offers. It can be a great way for passive earning
You will just need to share the invite link and if the person that joined the platform from your invite link uploads videos and eventually earns, then you will get a 5% commission each time the person earns, which can be a great passive income source.
Rumble Monetization
Once you upload the video, rumble takes anywhere from 1 day to some weeks to monetize your video as rumble decides whether the video is worth monetizing or not. So, you will have to wait till your video gets monetized to earn from it.
To check the monetization status, you will need to click on your ‘username’ and then on ‘My content’, which will display all the videos and their monetization status as well.
Once your video gets monetized then you will see ads at random timings in the videos which will help you to earn, which is just similar to youtube.
Rumble v/s Youtube (Is Rumble better than Youtube?)
Rumble and Youtube platforms are very similar to each other, but for now, let’s look at the differences that both sites offer.
Youtube, as you all know, is the biggest video-sharing platform but it also acts as one of the biggest search engines, and the user base is enormous. So, there should not be any doubt which platform is best, youtube will be the clear winner here. But, with the enormous user base, it also has very high competition which makes it extremely difficult for the newbies to stand out among the existing creators.
So, let’s look at the monetization requirements for both platforms.
On Youtube, a channel requires 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time, to apply for monetization. And once the monetization is approved, the channel will be able to earn money. Many people fail to get to their first 1000 subscribers and eventually quit.
In Rumble, there are no such requirements to monetize a video. The video takes anywhere between a day to some weeks to get monetized, which makes it easier for the newbies, who just started their channel. Even though it is a perfect option for beginners, it can’t give the fame and money which youtube provides once the creators get the audience.
How to withdraw from rumble?
The process of withdrawing money from rumble is quite simple. Once your video gets monetized, you will start earning money. Now, to withdraw the money that you earned, you will have to have at least $50 in earnings, which is the threshold limit here.
You will need to click on the “cash out” option which you will find in the account dashboard to withdraw the earnings that you made which should be at least $50. If the threshold limit is reached then you will be able to select a payment method between PayPal and Payoneer.
Conclusion
Rumble is a legit video-sharing platform where you can earn money by uploading videos. The account creation process and the verifying process are really simple and easy, but the only downside is that it doesn’t work in South Asian countries as of now. This website has a threshold limit of $50 after which one can request a payout with any of the two payment methods between PayPal and Payoneer.
This website is really similar to youtube, but the monetization process of the videos on youtube can be quite hard for some as there are some requirements that one needs to fill before applying for monetization. But, the monetization process is relatively very easy in rumble.
So, in my opinion, I would suggest a newbie who just started his/her career, to upload videos on rumble as well as youtube for the starting days as he/she won’t be making any money from youtube for the starting days and once you generate a stable income from youtube then you can directly shift to youtube because of the enormous users it has, which will not just lead to more money but fame as well. But, make sure to choose the license as Video management (excluding youtube) if you want to post your videos both on youtube as well as rumble.
If you have any experience with rumble, good or bad, then let us know and if you are earning from rumble even though you are from South Asian countries, then make sure to share the tips that you are using as I would love to know about the tips.
