“One commenter pointed out that the amount of work needed to complete such a contract equates to a full-time job.”
Oh, the humanity.
A full time job that paid $12500 without benefits for roughly 5.5 months of work if they release 3 videos a day, 7 days a week with sponsored content. No one should take that.
Edit: fixed missing 0.
3 videos a day for 5.5 months (about 167 days). That’s 500 videos. 500 x $25 = $12500, not $1250.
I have no clue if it’s feasible to make three videos a day for 5.5 months, but I guess if the length of the video doesn’t matter then It must be doable.
It could be worth it if they can also make money through other companies for the same videos. Plus if they’re popular enough that Amazon is paying them then they must already be making ad revenue or something.
I don’t know. I’m not a pro, just spitballing.
People don’t tend to work weekends. So, 5 days a week, not 7 days a week. These are sponsored videos, so they are not making money through other companies.
Do the weirdo simp for Amazon all you want, the maths don’t add up in your favour. It’s still crap.
I said I’m no pro and just spitballing, your last line about being a simp is pretty strange.
Regardless. That’s less than 25k/year for full time work. And no, 3 videos a day is really not feasible. Those things take serious to put together if you want anything with any quality whatsoever.
US federal minimum wage is still $7.25 and if that’s worked for 40 hours a week for a year, that’s 15,080. Those people working minimum wage tend to do much more important work than shilling some stupid product online.
Is the article mentioned the criteria for a video? I don’t care enough about it to read the article. Can the video be like one of those YouTube shorts and and still be worth the 25 bucks?
It’s definitely a feat to do that. Some youtube channels are able to do it but they’re working with a team of people generally. With the amount that Amazon is offering, it’s not going to be viable to hire people to help and doing it on your own is an enormous amount of work. Even for short form content.
