Compensation, 30-Day Trial & Growth Opportunities

Phase 1: Initial 30-Day Paid Trial

All selected editors will begin with a 30-day paid trial.

During this period:

• Compensation will be $25 USD per completed video.
• Expected production is approximately 3 videos per week.
• Editing quality, communication, reliability, and turnaround time will be evaluated.
• Both parties will have the opportunity to determine whether the working relationship is a good fit.

Phase 2: Ongoing Part-Time Position

Following a successful 30-day trial, the selected editor will transition to an ongoing part-time position.

• Monthly compensation will range from $200–$350 USD, depending on the mutually agreed schedule and workload.
• A consistent production schedule and expected video volume will be established before the transition.
• Additional assignments or changes in workload and compensation will be discussed and agreed upon.

Phase 3: Channel Growth & Increased Earnings

Our goal is to establish a long-term relationship with an editor who can grow alongside THPP News.

As the channel becomes monetized and generates increasing revenue:

• Compensation will increase based on channel growth and performance.
• Performance-based bonuses may be introduced.
• Additional editing assignments may become available.
• Increased production responsibilities will be accompanied by corresponding increases in compensation.

We are looking for someone interested in growing with the company rather than simply completing occasional freelance projects.
