The reality of this type of site is that you could record a 30' TV spot and the ultimate client is free to broadcast this locally, regionally, nationally or internationally for as long as they want for $27.50. There is no negotiation. It is all in a computerised system and you hardly ever get to talk to the client.
I would recommend for you all to steer well clear.
You're basically going to work for $27.50 for a :30 or around $50 for a :60.
Just a heads up about another Pay-To-Play site that's jumped into the fray: www.voicejockeys.com
I don't know these people. I've never done business with them...and probably never will, and here's why:
1. The name alone is step back. Clients today do NOT want "jockeys". In fact, try counting how many instructions you've seen lately from clients emphasizing that!
2. The rate structure is abusive in my opinion. This is taken right from their website:
Voicejockeys.com takes a 50% commission on all orders and reserves the right to cancel any account at anytime to anyone who does not follow Voicejockeys.com's rules. "
3. The time demand is hallucinatory:
" To be a VoiceJockeys.com Jock you must be able to work from your home or office studio, be able to turn around projects in as fast as 2 hours from the time ordered and be a professional."
See, if you have another full-time job besides voiceovers, this is really unrealistic. And if you are full-time voiceovers, 50% commission is outrageously unrealistic.
Not telling you what to do, but watch out for this one.
