Sell your videos directly to the press. Your story could be worth thousands
Selling your content on PressHop® couldn’t be easier.
Snap a photo, record a video, or scan a document , upload it straight on the PressHop® app, and once it’s verified, your content is posted on our marketplace, ready for major publications to view and buy.
You’re in control of how you sell. You can share your content with multiple publications at a lower price and get paid every time it's used by different outlets, or sell your content exclusively to a single publication for a significantly higher fee. Choose the strategy that works for you and turn real moments into real money.

When will the PressHop® app be launched?
PressHop® is now live and growing fast, with successful launches in 16 major cities across the UK and USA, and India. We are live in Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Los Angeles, Lucknow, Manchester, Mumbai, New Delhi, New York and Nottingham.
We’ve already onboarded over 150k+ Hoppers to the platform. Everyday citizens capturing real, powerful stories and connecting directly with the press.
What if I don't get paid for my content?
No need to fret, you always get paid before your content goes anywhere.
Here’s how it works. The press can’t download, or use your photo, video, scan, or story until they’ve paid for it. Simple as that.
Plus, every piece of content you upload is protected with a PressHop® watermark while it’s live on the marketplace, keeping your work safe, secure, and visible only after the money’s in.
How much commission does PressHop® take?
We take a 20% commission (plus the usual processing charges) on any earnings you make from selling content or completing tasks on PressHop®.
But here’s the good bit: if you’re a professional photographer or journalist, you only pay 15%.
Are you only launching in London, or expanding across the UK too?
We launched PressHop® in London where the stories never stop.
Since then, we’ve grown fast and are now LIVE in 16 cities across the UK, USA, and India. And this is just the beginning.
We’re set to expand into Canada, Nigeria, Indonesia, and Brazil in 2026. The response has been phenomenal; not just from the UK, but from everyday citizens around the world who want to be part of something bigger.
I am a professional photographer - can I use PressHop® to sell content to the press?
Most certainly and we’d love to have you on board.
We actively encourage professional photographers, freelance journalists, and media crews to be part of the PressHop® community and contribute to this exciting new way of connecting stories with the press.
We’ve already been in discussions with several associations across London, and the response has been incredibly positive.
Photographers and journalists alike have embraced what we’re building, and we can’t wait for you to experience the power of the platform and the app for yourself.
Is my identity truly protected on PressHop®?
Absolutely. 100%, no exceptions!
As a registered user, your identity is always safe and protected. Everything you upload is completely anonymous and discreet — no real names, no real profile photos.
Instead, you’ll select from computer-generated names and avatars, keeping your true identity hidden at all times.
At PressHop®, privacy isn’t optional, it’s built in from the ground up.
