Creator guidelines

Brands hire a person to make a short video for them. Your profile is how they choose, so show them that video.

• Film vertically. Every video ordered on Besday is delivered vertical (9:16). Samples in the same shape show brands exactly what they would get.
• Show the lengths you sell. Brands order from 15 sec to 3 min, or a custom length up to 10 min. Short samples that get to the point are easier to judge than one long one.
• Make it clear and your own. The Besday team checks that every sample is clear to see and hear, is your own work, and is yours to share. People in it must be you or have agreed to appear.
• Add your own intro video. Talk to the camera: who you are and the videos you make. Once it is approved it plays on your card on the marketplace.
• Pick tags your samples back up. Brands filter by specialty, style and format, language and the platforms you post on. Choose the ones a brand will see in your work.
• Choose a cover and an order. Your cover comes first on your profile, then the rest in the order you set in your portfolio.

Photos of your work

JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 15 MB and 8000 pixels on a side.

Videos of your work

MP4 or MOV, up to 200 MB and 3 min. Vertical is best. Besday turns every video into an MP4 (H.264) that plays in every browser, no larger than 1920 pixels on its long side and in its own shape, before it is reviewed. An iPhone video (HEVC) is fine.

Your intro video

The same as any video: MP4 or MOV, up to 200 MB and 3 min. One is on your card at a time.

Portfolio size

Up to 40 photos and videos, each with an optional caption of up to 160 characters.

Profile photo

JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB, at least 300 pixels on each side. A clear photo of you.

A video you deliver

MP4 or MOV, up to 500 MB, in the length and shape the brand ordered.

Your privacy

Location and camera details are removed from every photo you upload, and from every video in your portfolio, before anyone else sees them.

It applies to your profile, your samples and every video you deliver.

Your profile must be about you: your own name, face and voice. Everything you upload must be your own work or work you have the right to show. Besday may decline or remove anything that breaks the policy. Read the full Content Policy.

• Your profile goes to the Besday team as soon as you sign up. Until it is approved, brands can’t find, book or message you; your short link still opens your profile.
• Besday approves a profile with your name, a headline, a profile photo, a specialty, a confirmed email address and at least one approved photo or video of your work. Your dashboard shows what is still missing.
• A person at Besday looks at every photo and video before it appears on your profile. A video is converted first, which takes a minute or two.
• If something is not approved, you see the reason next to it in your portfolio and get a notification. Remove it and upload a better one any time.
• After approval, a new name or photo waits for the Besday team; everything else you change shows at once.
• Approved videos stream from Besday’s YouTube channel as unlisted videos. If you remove one, it comes off the channel too.

• You have 48 hours to accept or decline an order. Your delivery time starts when you accept, or when the product arrives.
• You set your own delivery time, from 1 day to 14 days.
• Every order includes 2 revisions. A new version is due 48 hours after the brand asks for changes.
• If the brand neither approves a delivered video nor asks for changes within 5 days, it is approved automatically.
