The work

You will contribute original vertical video footage that helps AI training projects understand how real creators make short-form content. Your work may include raw clips, direct-to-camera delivery, editing choices, on-screen text, cuts, and pacing.

Assignments are completed remotely and asynchronously. You will follow written project guidelines and provide footage that is well lit, steady, and recorded with clear audio.

  • Share raw clips from your original short-form video content.
  • Explain or demonstrate editing decisions such as cuts, text overlays, and pacing when requested.
  • Create clear, usable footage while speaking comfortably to camera.
  • Follow written instructions about the content and clips needed.
  • Share only footage you have the right to use, with consent from every adult appearing on camera.

What it pays and takes

This is flexible, part-time contract work for someone who already creates short-form video regularly. The role is listed at 20+ hours per week, with assignments completed asynchronously and without a set daily schedule.

  • Pay: Up to $30 per hour.
  • Location: Open to candidates in the United States.
  • Language: Professional fluency in English.
  • Workload: 20+ hours per week.
  • Publish original vertical video at least three times each week.
  • Edit your own Reels or similar short-form videos with visible cuts, on-screen text, and deliberate pacing.
  • Show strong attention to detail and the ability to follow written project guidelines.
  • Retain the rights to all shared footage and obtain consent from every adult shown.

Helpful background

Experience creating content in cooking, DIY and how-to, product demonstrations, pets, fitness, daily routines, or hobby topics may be useful. An established audience of about 10,000 to 100,000 followers and engagement of around 2% to 3% or higher can also help, but neither is required.
