abhi_m Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hi guys,I’m a content writer. Recently, I got an order in which the buyer wants me to watch 50 videos and summarize the content in it. He ordered just one gig, which is for minimum cost.Now, I want to know if its normal and it is a part of content writing or does it come in transcription jobs?TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara19841 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 It probably has more to do with writing than transcription. You’re summarizing, rather than transcribing word for word.Still, $5 is too little money for that job. Most sellers charge >$10 to summarize one short video.

neromare Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 That’s too much work, mate. You have to carefully watch the videos and sync. For that amount of work and syncing, I’d charge NO LESS than $75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neromare Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 So, should I cancel the order because I don’t think the buyer would be willing to spend $75 when he has ordered a $5 gig. What do you think should I do?I can’t tell you what to do, but I can tell you what I WILL DO.I will just cancel right away, and explain to him this is a sophisticated time-taking job and I can’t do it for $5.Again, it’s up to you how much you’d charge.I just won’t do it. No matter what. Even if the Apocalypse comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what. Even if the Apocalypse comes.I’d do the same as Nero.I’d also put a disclaimer in my gig description stating I’ll only watch or listen to one short media file as research. More research = gig extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
