BASICS ABOUT THE PROJECT

➡️ The service has a known, minimal and fixed amount of web presence fees.
➡️ The service has unique characteristics (compared to others).
DETAILS ABOUT THE PROJECT
➡️ Those who are shortlisted will receive details about the project.
ABOUT PROJECT CAMPAIGN REWARDS
➡️ The very basis of the success of the campaign is ground on real deliverables (not a promise):
··········✅ The reward for Crowdfunder’s is an instantly deliverable service and does not depend on the success of the campaign in the slightest.
··········✅ In addition, the reward is transferable and very suitable as a gift to third parties.
➡️ For reasons of investment attractiveness, the real value of the rewards is about 50% of the real market value (as well as in relation to the existing price list).
➡️ The campaign also includes a reserve for sales commissions (or discount) of 15% (on third-party services) in its rewards.
ABOUT CAMPAIGN “TECHNICALS”
➡️ The duration of the campaign is 60 days.
➡️ For the project, the following will be delivered to the selected freelancer:
··········✅ Logo (if needed, in SVG format)
··········✅ Raw screenshots (if needed, in PNG/JPEG format)
··········✅ Basic outline for pitch, with explanations of each outline chapter.
CAMPAIGN PROJECT TASKS
➡️ Crowdfunding Pitch Writing
➡️ Crowdfunding Screenplay Writing
➡️ Crowdfunding Graphics Creation
➡️ Crowdfunding Consultation
PITCH WRITING
➡️ The freelancer who successfully passes the initial interview (“shortlisted”), will receive an Outline and should write initial (introductory) pitch chapter, in order to show the understanding of the campaign idea. This is a key selection criterion.
➡️ The bid should contain the suggested estimated word count.
SCREENPLAY WRITING
➡️ I believe it is clear that the script should be some kind of outline from the already written pitch itself, because the video clip should only present what is already written in the pitch.
GRAPHICS CREATION
➡️ Graphics should be a combination of screenshots, drawings and infographics (mostly). Something similar to https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/passwordpocket-your-personal-data-guardian#/.
CROWDFUNDING CONSULTATION
➡️ Crowdfunding consultations is not a mandatory task.
➡️ Crowdfunding consultations are understood in the sense of possible additional proposals that could increase the chances of success of the campaign in a positive sense.
DELIVERY
➡️ The length of the delivery period itself must be specified in the offer, but it is not a decisive criterion.
PAYMENT OF SALARY (EARNING) FOR PROJECT TASKS
The payout system is there for a good reason. Namely, the nature of the project is such that it requires the freelancer's personal interest in the success of the campaign. Everything else will results in low-quality task delivery.
My reasoning is simple. If you are convinced that the startup service is promising for the market, you will make a "kickass" pitch. Otherwise, the pitch won't be good either (you can't “sell” something you don't believe in).
So, payment is progressively variable.
➡️ This means the following payment calculation system:
··········✅ In the event that no amount is collected, no fee is paid for the work.
··········✅ For each amount collected, 3% of the amount collected is paid.
··········✅ For every amount collected over 25% of the projected goal, 4% of the collected amount is paid (on the total amount, that means an additional 1% is paid retroactively for the first 25%).
··········✅ For every amount collected over 50% of the projected goal, 5% of the collected amount is paid (on the total amount, that means an additional 1% is paid retroactively for the first 50%).
··········✅ For each amount collected over 100% of the projected goal, 7% of the amount collected is paid (on the total amount, that means an additional 2% is paid retroactively for the first 100%).
➡️ Payments are made weekly.
➡️ Calculation of payment is done by recalculating hourly earnings, and is done through Freelancer.com.
··········⏳ Let's say, if your hourly rate is $20, and if the (first) weekly amount of $1000 is collected, 3% is $30, that is, 1.5 hours of work is invoiced through Freelancer.com.
AFFILIATES
➡️ The chosen freelancer can significantly increase his earnings if he takes over the marketing campaign himself in the next step, and in terms of income from affiliate income.
PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS
➡️ Please provide links to Pitches you have worked on (proof that it was your project to attach). Any platform will do. THIS IS NOT MANDATORY AND DECISIVE.
