I should meet people and take their pictures in Nigeria?

See slave work 0.2$ that's approximately 50k for the stress of meeting a lot of people and taking their permission to get a photo of them.

Subcontracting isn't criminal.

BRATISLAVA:


Subcontracting isn't criminal.

At 20cents per image, op should go to Oshodi. There are more than 500 people there at any given time.

Lol.

Cutthroat pricing, exploitative but not criminal.

BRATISLAVA:


Lol.

They should use the knife and cut their throat. And I'm almost certain the original job will be fairly priced. You want someone to take a high resolution camera (meaning a decently priced phone), go and talk to 415 random "models", convince them to take their pictures under specific poses, not pay the models, pay the photographer less than $100 for all that work. Let that AI project die by fire

You know you can always engage without throwing insults. And about the original job being fairly priced, you have no idea what you are talking about.

If the job is not meant for you please look away.

Exploitative you said? You are very wrong on that one. Have a nice day.

Apologies if you found my comments insulting. I've "known" Bratislava here for a bit hence my engagement with them.

About your pricing, you are right that since I don't have any idea 8what you are being paid for this, I should not be criticising you. But if your 20c per image is afl fair offering based on what you are being paid, then your employers need to be bathed with colourful insults. Would they pay such amount for an American engaged in the same task? It's a lot of work involved. Ensuring your phone camera meets requirements. Engaging and convincing the models and all the work. It's a lot of work for 20c per image. But hey, don't let my pessimism hamper you. It's easy to criticise

Apologies accepted. I don't do works like this. It was just a random invitation from Upwork. I didn't have much idea about the gig before accepting the invitation. After getting to know more about the gig, I told the person I can't work with them but he pleaded that I help him get people who can work on it. I knew it's not an easy task but I just gave it a second thought that someone might be interested so I came here to post it.

You'll be surprised to know that I'm not even getting a dime from this. The original price is 0.2$ and you know Upwork rate is 20% which makes the rate .2$

Hmmmmmm. This one fit accept your JSS o. Good you have now put all the information on the table. Those interested would certainly you

That's why I put the rate so that anyone applying would know what they are getting into.

LMAO.

It's one of the throatiest ones I've seen, but as you said, a high density area with people who don't think you want to use their pics for the usual voodoo.

Mishra knows.

Okay. The price is quite nice. It's not criminal.
