What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $150–$250 and 20 hours about $300–$500 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Location
Open worldwide in the countries the employer accepts. Payments usually go out through services like PayPal or Wise, so check one of them works in your country.
Timing
This listing is new today. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
Test tips for video creators
  • Follow the capture spec exactly: angle, length, lighting and resolution.
  • Plan each clip before you record; reshoots cost you unpaid time.
  • Keep faces and personal data out of frame unless the brief allows it.
