What’s up with Vimeo’s stance on marketing videos?

The Internet can be a shady place, but Vimeo isn’t. If your videos are designed to promote a pyramid scheme or any other dubious money-making system, then they don’t belong here.

Vimeo moderators will generally remove videos advertising business ventures that:

• Make unrealistic promises of wealth with little or no effort required
• Focus more on incentivizing recruitment than selling a product or service
• Utilize fraudulent marketing techniques to make false or misleading promises

That said, videos that advertise the multi-level marketing (MLM), network marketing, and direct selling business models are permitted on Vimeo for PRO and Business users as long as they don’t fall into any of these categories. We do ask that sales and recruitment efforts are not directed toward Vimeo users.
