If you find yourself in the middle of a big news story while on Twitter and take video, you can get paid when news stations ask you for it.

These news stations have budgets. Negotiate with them. Worse they'll say is no; leaves you where you started: making nothing off your video.

If someone hits you up say, "You can use my video for $500. You can use it exclusively for $5,000." Or something like that. Don't be scared.

You were just in the middle of a shooting, a bombing, a stampede?! Don't be scared of negotiating a rate with a producer on Twitter dot com.

Most watched video on a local station for 10 years. Guy gave it to them outright and lives on a teaching income. Um. http://www.kgw.com/news/local/bumpers-cars-in-the-snow-and-ice/370025282 …
