On vyb, you can upload and sell videos that you have previously recorded. Your recordings of old performances are a great way to give your fans more – they want to buy from you. Maybe you had a really hot show last fall or you have early band videos. Maybe you want to sell instructional videos to your following. Here at vyb we can help do do all of that!
For your Super Fans, consider selling this only to Subscribers. That way you encourage and reward your most loyal fans. You can also open it up to everyone but give your Subscribers a discount.
Your videos are encrypted and can’t be downloaded. Fans can only purchase and watch them by going to vyb.
Ensure you have the rights to any video before you upload it, we don’t want to have to pull it down!!
Below are the steps to uploading your videos to sell on vyb:
Step 1
Uploaded videos are going to show in your Events Library.
Click “My Dashboard”, “My Created Events”
Click “Upload Event Video”
Step 2
Edit the Title and Event Description. Make them descriptive and fun to give your fans a reason to buy.
Add a thumbnail and cover image
Step 3

You can choose to make it exclusive for subscribers or open to anyone.
Choose the number of people who can buy the video, either unlimited or make it selective.
Set the pricing option. Free is only allowed for Subscriber Only. Minimum Price option lets your fans pay more, like a built in tip.
Set the pricing and the if your Audience is For Everyone, set the subscriber discount
Step 5
Now you can upload your video
After you have uploaded it, you can watch the video using the video controls to skip through and check the quality and audio.
Step 6
Now do a final check of the pricing and access, then hit Publish.
Once you’ve hit publish, your event is available to be purchased by your fans.
With vyb, you can sell your own ticketed events. We have several different types of events:
Virtual Events: this is the simplest, a live stream you record anywhere, and fans from around the globe purchase and watch. During the Virtual Event, your fans can message you and tip you
In-Person: Generate QR codes for tickets and use the vyb scanner app to check in fans at the door. Supports multiple ticket tiers.
Hybrid: A combination of Virtual and In-Person, the hybrid lets you add a live stream recording to the event. By default, all fans who purchase In-Person tickets also get access to the recording after the event, which is a big benefit.
Below are the steps to create the event:
Step 1: Event Details
To start creating your event, click on the “Launch” button in the upper menu and select “Create Event”
Enter something descriptive for the event title and description.
You can set if the event is available to all ages or has an age restriction
Now add thumbnail and a cover image. You can simply click on the blocks and then select a file from your files.
Once you select “Upload” from the file selector, you’ll get a popup that lets you position the file, zoom and rotate the image.
Hit “Save” on the image to get it added for your event.
If you change your mind about the image, you can simply hit the “X” in the image corner, deleting the image
Select “Continue” to go to the next step
Step 2: Date and Location
Set the date and time of the event, the duration and the timezone.
It is very important to set your timezone to the timezone where you are doing the event. If you are doing a virtual livestream, then setting the timezone correctly will let your fans across the globe what time it will occur in their timezone.
Next select the Event Type:
Select In-Person if you are selling tickets to a physical event with no livestream
Select Hybrid if you have both in-person tickets and a livestream
Select Virtual if you will have a livestream for your worldwide audience with no in-person tickets
If you choose either In-Person or Hybrid, you’ll have an additional location to enter. Enter the address information and the venue name. Those will be displayed in the tickets to help your fans find the event location.
Step 3: Ticket Tiers and Pricing
If you have selected an in-person or hybrid, you can set multiple ticket tiers for the in-person tickets. A Virtual Event currently only has one ticket tier. For each ticket tier you can set a number of options
Configuring a Virtual Ticket:
Audience: An event ticket can be set to be “Subscribers Only” or “For Everyone”. Choosing Subscriber only rewards your subscribers with exclusive access
Number of Attendees: For a virtual stream, you can choose to have an unlimited number of tickets sold, or limit the number. Limit the number of tickets if you want to give a more intimate performance where you even chat more with the audience.
Pricing:
Fixed Price: With the Price Option you can set the price per ticket and Day of Event Pricing. If the Audience is For Everyone you will also get an additional field to set the Subscriber Discount. By default vyb will use the Subscriber Discount you set in your Profile, but you can also change this either in percentage or dollars.
Minimum Price: With the Minimum Price option, you specify the minimum amount that fans will pay for a ticket. Industry data shows that most people will pay a little extra, it is like a built-in tip.
The Free option is only available for Subscriber only events.
Configuring an In-Person Tier
The In-Person tiers have all the same options for Audience, Number of Attendees and Pricing.
In-Person Tiers also have a Name and and Optional Description. If there is only only In-Person Tier, simply name the time. If you have more than one tier, add a description to tell your more fans about that Tier.
To add another tier, click “Add Ticket Tier”
Configuring Additional Tiers
Each additional tier can be edited in the same way.
Additional tiers can be deleted, but you must always have at least one In-Person tier if you have selected In-Person or Hybrid as your Ticket Type.
Step 4: Privacy and VIP Tickets
Recording Available: By default this should be left on as it allows your ticket purchasers to watch the video anytime from their library
Sell Event Recording: If this is enabled, then your fans can purchase the event days even years after the livestream. Note that the purchase options are still governed by the limitations you put on it before. For example, if you set your Audience as Subscribers, then only Subscribers can purchase it. If you limit the audience size to say 300 tickets, then only 300 fans total can ever purchase this recording.
Enable Chat availability to allow your audience to chat with you during the show.
Step 5: Publish
Review everything, and then hit “Publish”
Your event is now published and ready for sale.
You can track ticket sales in your dashboard.
You can also edit your event or easily add to the guest list in your dashboard
