Get paid tostop the scrll.
Thumb Riot is building a pool of creators for paid explainer videos for service-based businesses. You film from home. We write the brief and handle the edit. From $85 a video.
Different hooks. Every video.
Myth busters, warning signs, quick fixes, comparisons. Each video gets its own angle and its own hook. You bring the face and the voice.

Add your name and your handle. Takes a minute.
Test.
When spots open, we send a short test brief. You film it. We score it on hook, energy, clarity and how natural you sound.
Film.
Every video gets a client-approved brief with the key points and claims. Hooks and angles change from video to video. Deliver it in your own voice, vertical, at home.
Get paid.
Upload your footage. We edit with motion graphics, animated captions, sound design and pacing built to stop the scroll. Or edit it yourself to that same standard for $30 more.
From $85 a video.
That is where you start. Your rate climbs as you do. Bigger accounts, self edits, raises and bonuses all stack on top.
You would work as an independent contractor, not an employee. Full terms are shared before you sign anything.
Rates, bonuses and terms are subject to change. Once you are working with Thumb Riot, we will give you notice before any change takes effect.
Loud, but honest.
These videos only work if people trust them. So we keep them straight.
What you do
- Open with a strong hook that fits the angle.
- Hit the client-approved talking points in your own voice.
- Sound like a real person, not an ad read.
- Film to camera, vertical, in good light with clear audio.
What you never do
- Pretend to be a customer, a neighbor or an employee.
- Make up a testimonial or an experience you did not have.
- Add claims, prices or guarantees that are not in the brief.
- Say anything misleading about the company or the service.

Questions, answered.
Do I need a big following?
No set follower minimum. We look at how you come across on camera. Larger accounts can earn more per video.
Do I need to edit?
No. Our editors handle it. Editing for us is more than adding text: motion graphics, animated captions, zooms, sound design and tight pacing. If you edit your own videos, that is the standard we expect, and you earn $30 more per video.
What gear do I need?
A recent phone, a quiet room and decent light are enough.
What happens after I join?
We keep your details on file and email you when creator spots open. The next step is a short test brief. Joining the list is not a job offer or a guarantee of work.
Where do the videos run?
On the client's channels and as geo-targeted paid ads. Full terms, including how your video, voice and likeness can be used, are shared before you sign anything.
