For those of you saying $1 a minute is a lot of money, let’s do a quick lesson. Let’s say you have a 10 minute video and you price it at $9.99. Most sites take 40%. That’s $6 left and then after taxes, that number goes down to $4.20. So no, that’s not “$60 an hour,” (since so many of you want to think of it this way) that’s $25.20 an hour. Mind you, we don’t get benefits. Except the 10 minute video didn’t take 10 minutes to film. I don’t wake up with my hair, nails and make up magically done. I don’t wake up in lingerie with a studio next to me just ready to go. All of that takes HOURS. So why would I EVER adhere to a dated and demeaning price of $1 a minute for clips, streaming, anything? That would mean I’d be getting paid drastically below minimum wage.
