Billo

Pros: Quick money when things go right and clients have reasonable expectations. Unfortunately, far too often that is not the case. You are then taken advantage of.

Cons: A total waste of time and resources for the MANY clients who have expectations of a fully produced commercial VS what Billo actually offers. Then Billo will ALWAYS side with the client.

Overall: As a creator who has been creating content with Billo since August of 2021 I can promise you everything is good...until it's not. EVERY single time there has been an issue with the client, Billo has taken the side of the client. EVERY TIME. They want 10 scenes for a 30 second video that you tell them won't fit - they assure you it'll fit and to do your best. They needed to purchase a 60 second video, but they are being cheap. This particular client wanted to use my horses, fields and cut a hole in my trough for a $40 pay out. Then you turn in the max 40 seconds (not getting paid for the extra 10 seconds) to get the max 2 edit requests for things you warned them about in the first place. Then Billo will offer you a shameful $5-$10 to fix it even though you've already done that twice as best you can to fit. This last time was it for me. The final video was 47 seconds for a 30 second gig. Had to spend extra time to cut it down. Edit requests twice because I had to cut it down. As expected, Billo reaches out, so I ask them to review the initial conversation where I told the client IT WON'T FIT before I accepted the gig (they reached out to ME to do the video). They do review the conversation, apologize and say the client is difficult. I think, FINALLY Billo recognizes some are simply unreasonable. They offer me $30 to redo it - I said I would but would need to upload differently since as I already stated - it exceeded the allowable upload time. While I was paid for the video, I was not paid the additional promised money. When I asked about it they said the client wasn't responding. Which as far as I'm concerned is not on me, that's on them. I completed my agreed upon obligation, Billo has not. I'm not new at this - I've completed 593 video with 100% on time delivery score and 4.86 of 5 star rating on 221 reviews.
