How does it work?
Ding, ding! New brief alert
We’ll email you about new briefs and, to see whether you match who our client wants to hear from, will ask you about your habits and attitudes.
You’re the chosen one(s)
If you match the brief criteria we’ll let you know that you’ve been selected, remind you of details, and ask you whether you’re still interested.
Roll the camera
Once you’ve confirmed you’re still up for the brief, we’ll send you the instructions. You can then get to work recording and uploading your videos.
Show me the money
We pay you via PayPal within 14 working days of the brief deadline, so long as you’ve followed the brief correctly and uploaded on time.
Answering briefs
It’s simple and easy
Briefs are invitations to record real-life situations, use and compare products, put to test packaging ideas, show us how you shop or even how you prepare meals.
The number of videos we’ll ask you to make for a brief can range from anywhere between 1 – 6 videos, or more. The more videos needed, the more you’re paid. Naturally.
We’ll ask you to record these videos at the time, in the place and with the people you’d normally be doing those things with.
Each brief has a Thinker Manager who’ll help you throughout the brief process. They’ll send you an Activity Guide to follow for each video and a checklist for how to film. The checklist has simple tips to help your video look tip-top, such as putting your camera on a steady surface (goodbye motion sickness) and making sure there isn’t a bright light source behind you.
Follow the brief correctly and we pay you anything from $20-200 for your time and invaluable thoughts

The brands who want to listen to you…
“After the initial nerves of speaking in front of camera and working out the downloading process I have had nothing but fun making the videos. My children like helping me and it really makes you look at how you live your life. It is a great way to earn extra money in your own time from home and the payment structure is easy and quick.”
