A short YouTube conversation (Eric Deeran - Master Filmmaker) where two speakers negotiate how to pay for a commissioned video. One speaker proposes a performance-based partnership taking 20–30% of sales generated by the video; the other prefers a one-time upfront payment and decides to request an invoice.
Hey, man. So we were thinking, you know, what if we just take it once the video starts bringing leads in?
You mean, like, if it. Only if it performs. What do you mean?
Yeah, exactly. That way, you know, it's more of a partnership between us.
I mean, we could definitely do a partnership. The way that would work is, I guess, are you okay with me taking 20 to 30% of every sale that comes in since we're partners?
I mean, that's. That's a lot. I mean. I mean, I guess I'd rather just pay you once.
Are you sure? Because, like, we could either. I mean, we can either pay up front for the content, or if you don't want to pay up front, then we could just take 20 or 30% of every sale that comes in from the content. Since you wanted to do more of a partnership?
No, because 20% would be basically. What? You invoiced me already.
Okay. It's up to you. Are you sure?
Yeah. No, I think it just makes sense to pay once.
Okay, I'll send over the invoice if you can take care of that now.
Gotcha.
