video content creator side gig

Savages, I'm surprised how the universe works, but the very next day after I posted about presentation adrenaline in war room, I got a side-gig opportunity for sales video content creation.

This is from a Series A startup in my country - India - and they're inviting B2C content creators to create sales courses for them. I am yet to receive info on topics, duration of courses, etc. etc. - but I have received an email from them which talks about compensation.

They're currently offering me $50 for every 1 hour of output, and expect 10 to 15 hours of output every month. I consulted with a friend who mentioned that the standard rate for video output content creator (only the presenter) in his ex-firm was $250/hour. I think $250 is way too high tbh.

Seeking some advice here on the compensation part, and on how to go about this gig from the best of the best sales-folks I know. Love y'all!

remember that 1 hour of content takes a lot more time than 1 hour!

Absolutely. I feel like 5x the work versus output wouldn't be surprising.
I can't really comment on compensation for this kind of gig, especially in India.

Hell yeah! Writing, video, edit, etc - there's so much more that goes into this.

$250 is very fair... do not underestimate how long 1 hour will take you to create. You'll likely put in no less than 5+ hours per 1 hour created.

That's awesome! But seriously, that rate is too low. You're going to want to figure out how long it takes you to produce every hour of video content. My guess is that it'll be around 3 or 4 hours minimum. That means you should calculate your rates based on that.

Fun! Probably a lot of work goes into 1h video. Don't know a lot about this or how it works
