Dailymotion alternative to earn money from your videos

Updated: October 28, 2026

Dailymotion is one of the longest-running video platforms and still a popular option to publish and monetize. But like every discovery platform, it’s built to keep viewers watching on Dailymotion. If you want your videos to work for your own site and pay you from day one, Dembed is the alternative.

Why look for a Dailymotion alternative?

Creators usually look for a Dailymotion alternative for two reasons: they want to monetize without meeting a partner program’s requirements, and they want a player that doesn’t steer their audience toward other videos on the platform.

On Dembed every video earns from day one, the player shows no other channels’ recommendations and carries your color and logo, on your link and on every site where you embed it.

A discovery platform or hosting for your audience

Dailymotion, like YouTube, helps you get discovered inside its catalog, in exchange for the platform being the star. Dembed does the opposite: there’s no catalog competing with you, just a fast player and monetization that work for your site, blog or socials.

Many creators combine both: they post clips on the big platforms to attract viewers and host the full content they share with their community or embed on their site on Dembed.

Dailymotion or Dembed: what to compare before choosing

Before moving your library, compare these points on Dailymotion and any other option. They’re the ones that most affect your audience and your earnings:

  • How much they pay and how it’s calculated: Dembed shares the real ad revenue of each month with you based on your audience’s country, with a per-country breakdown in your dashboard.
  • When you start earning: on Dembed every video earns from day one, with no subscriber or watch-hour minimums.
  • Payout methods and minimum: Dembed pays via PayPal, USDT (TRC20), Payoneer or bank transfer from 25 USD.
  • Viewer experience: ads in the player, no recommendations from other channels; viewers who don’t want ads can go Premium (part of that subscription also goes to creators).
  • Max size and uploading: files up to 20 GB uploaded straight to storage, resumable, several at a time.
  • Your brand: player color, logo or watermark with a link, subtitles and a “Skip intro” button.
  • Clear rules: Dembed doesn’t allow copyright-infringing content and has a report button on every video, which protects honest creators and advertisers.

How to move your videos from Dailymotion to Dembed

Tip: if your files are MKV, upload them as MP4 (H.264 + AAC) so they have sound in every browser. Our guide to converting MKV to MP4 explains how.

  1. 1Create your free Dembed account and confirm your email.
  2. 2Download your original files from Dailymotion (or use the copies on your computer).
  3. 3Drag them into the Dembed dashboard: upload several at once and organize them in folders. Thumbnails and duration are generated automatically.
  4. 4Customize the player once (color, logo, subtitles) and it applies to all your videos.
  5. 5Replace the old links or iframes with Dembed’s on your site, blog or socials. From then on every monetized view adds to your balance.
