How a recorded hour becomes $2.00
Recording, review, acceptance and pay, one step at a time.
A crew records its normal work. Colby reviews every video, and only accepted hours count. Colby pays the company at the rate in its contract. Then Colby pays you $2.00 on top, for every accepted hour, with no end date.

Five steps
- A crew records. The crew wears a phone on a head strap, tipped down at their hands, and does the work it already does.
- Colby reviews the video. Every video is reviewed.
- An hour is accepted. Only accepted hours count, for the company and for you.
- Colby pays the company, at the rate in its contract.
- Colby pays you $2.00 for every accepted hour your companies record. It comes on top of what Colby pays the company.
What makes an hour count
Real work at a normal pace, with both hands in the picture. These hours are not accepted:
- Hands out of the picture.
- Dark or blurry video.
- Sitting still.
- Pretend work, or the same thing done over and over.
How long you earn
There is no end date. You earn $2.00 for every accepted hour of every company you bring in, for as long as it records.
Who pays whom
No money passes between you and the companies you bring in. Colby pays each company directly, and Colby pays you. Each company's rate is in its own contract.
Where you see it
Your portal shows your companies' accepted hours and the hours still in review. Earnings shows your fee, company by company.
