I have been asked to do a video (of me) for a training session I developed and facilitated for an organization so they can include it in their ongoing Orientation programs. Can anyone provide thoughts on what I should charge for the video?

You should carefully consider making a profit from the video against using it as a marketing opportunity. If the organisation will be using for all new employees, you are almost becoming the face of their business and opportunity for continued work should be good.
Of course if they are recording you to play the video in place of hiring you for each session, you are actually 'losing' money, so it's a toughy! I guess you need to develop a price from some sort of multiplier of amount the video will be used, number of participants etc. There doesn't seem to be any set fee for this that I can find...sorry. ---------------------------------- For training resources, training course materials, trainers notes, training courses, training games and many other free training tools, visit: http://www.trainerbubble.com .

You might look at:
Each of these factors might impact how much to charge. --john |

christinedd,
Simple. There are three separate and distinct transactions here. First. If you designed a session for the company it was "work for hire." They own the content and hopefully paid for it. Second. If you facilitated this session (or any session..regardless of source) you were delivering a service and were compensated accordingly. Third. If they wish to hire you (again) to deliver this or any other session...and tape it for repeated use, then you should seek out a fair agreement. So what's "fair?" Don't get too greedy here...or to cocky. Be careful that you don't approach this from the position the session is "yours." It is not....if they paid you to design it. Since they own it they can have anyone deliver it....and tape it for future use. If this is something that is a piece of something else...not the whole, then I might be inclined to offer to deliver it once or twice more (for pay), let them video, and be done with it. Remember...they will be updating their Orientation Program and will be looking to update your piece too. Creating that psychological debt now may pay-off later. |

Even if the course was work for hire, that doesn't mean they have any right to tape you delivering it.
I disagree that you need to walk on eggshells or be afraid of being proud of your work and feeling it's worthy of being compensated. I am so tired of people underselling themselves out of fear of...I don't know what. Be professional. Be direct. Be proud of your work and if you're not comfortable with the negotiation process, get a partner who is good at it to help on your behalf. Now - to me, the real question is --- as an instructional designer, do you think them having whatever this tape is fits into good instructional design/delivery? Does a video of you delivering whatever it is really demonstrate good design practices? (that's rhetorical - but the point is, if it's not part of what you would say is good design, don't do it) |
