Ideas for Making Covoco Better
Hey guys a few things. 1.) Payment. Talent should NOT have to wait until the project completes to get paid. We should be paid at the longest, in 30 days. I've had projects 6-8 months old and still haven't been paid for. 2.) Raise your prices. I'm not sure how you can make any $$ with VO so prices low. I used your app during the pandemic when things were slow. I get paid $900 session fees and thousands for TV VO in the USA. Even for explainer videos, you should set a minimum of $100-150/per project. How else to keep talent and make $$? VO reads with 2 revisions for $30 isn't worth anyone's time! 3.) Act as our agent in disputes. We as talent have to negotiate. It makes it really hard not to have a firewall. We can easily ruin relationships by demanding what is fair- as far as revisions and payment due dates. 4.) You always pay via "Services" on Paypal. They take a cut of the pie. So we don't even get the full, measly amount most of these agencies are offering for the work. We let paypal take a significant cut. Overall I have enjoyed some of the work on here. But I have also set standards. I will not read on any audition under $100 any longer.
