Hiring monthly or hourly payment.

11 replies
Guys,

I ´ve got an huge video clips creation and submitting, lets say about 50 videos of 3 minutes each with professional look since its for a multinational promo.

I was looking odesk the best guys over there with higher feedback and more hours worked on and normally the price are based between $25-$50 per hour, so i was making some math and wondering that is probably better to hire a good professional Monthly or am i wrong?

For last , if i hire someone with these specs (i´d prefer an USA or European worker) how much should be the average monthly payment?

Thanks in advance,
Morg

    So you want to hire a freelancer to edit, format and submit about 50 videos right? If you think it would take days rather than hours, then go to odesk and specify in your job about XX hours/ days would be required.

    It might also help to try for a virtual assistant to do the job. The price range of that and a video editor - big difference plus if you only inquire USA /European workers.

    What i would recomend, is to go to Freelancer, Odesk,Scriptlace .... or any other Platform, and describe your Project in detail, give them as much as u can about what u need to do, ask them about the PRICE, And include in DESCRIPTION, that you only add MILESTONE after Project is DONE, Never Pay Upfront, Be very Carefull with your Money and dont think that you a customer and have some privilege, All this Platforms are way to make money, But when u have any issue about your cooperation with freelancer, Custumer Support dont take action in your FAVOUR... We have Very Bad Experience with Scriptlance and Freelance Platform, in both cases our Problems was with Indian people, They gave us the Price, we start the Project, add Milestone to Account, after they avoid to work on Project if we not gonna add aditional Money for the Project... In one case, one of the team, gave us a Script of the site (price range on net is about 50-200$ for that kind of Script), We paid more than 2000$ for a custom Site, they thought they are smarter than us, and try to sell a cheap script for a custom price......
    Maybe u can find some good guys here, try it, cause working with a third party like all those platforms, its a big pain.....

    Never pay per hour, youll need to sell your house to pay those guys ask them about PRICE, if u think that is too much, try to have a conversation about the Price. Again, NEVER PAY PER HOUR AND NEVER PAY UPFRONT...

    Good Luck

      Well guys,

      my question is not about using odesk or freelance or any other site, my question is:

      a) Hire hourly or per project bais that i believe to be exteremely expensive
      b) Hire a good professional pay him monthly to work exclusively for me.

      Probably the 2nd option would be better, i sincerely prefer USA or European professionals.

      At the end hourly payment or fixed will be i think much more expensive then paying monthly (8 hours per day x 5 days per week.)

      I basically need someone to create videos that will require small research and will need to create effects + variations between videos. For ex. if i pay $150 per video and i need 25 videos this will cost me $3750 so if i pay lets say for 1k - 1.5k per month it will be cheaper and probably will remain sometime for extra stuff i probably require.

      What do you guys think.

    Hi Morg, whenever I'm outsourcing anything, it never occurs to me to pay in terms of "time spent" at all. It simply isn't relevant to me how long (within reason) it takes someone else to do the work I need to have done. I think in terms of what the job will cost.

    A couple of years ago, when I was hiring out my own services, every single customer wanted to know what their job would cost. How long it took me to produce it was of absolutely no interest or relevance to anyone at all.

    Try to outsource your work on some numbers of different freelancers. See if who's among them can do the job well.

      Indians seems to be cheap... but at the end or they´re start increasing the price from nothing and since you´re in the project you cant leave it at lets say 30-40%... my last experience from a cheap project the price arise about 200-300% so no more Indians next time.

      PS: I don´t have nothing against Indian people
