# About / Contributor Programme

## Positioning

About page: platform launched for people with an IT mindset to earn money by sharing videos that empower others with software training solutions. Described as a project to create **short problem-solving videos free for everyone**.

Pleasure of the business framed as seeing other business people reach new heights using AM machinery and software — quote attributed to **MD Eric / Ambitious Machinery (Pty) Ltd**.

Broader dream: invite talented software users to create videos for the site; empower South Africans across cultures; revive the economy through shared IT/business knowledge rather than siloing information.

## How to contribute

Email **softwaretraining@am.co.za** for more information. About page also mentions **Download Animation for Your Training Videos** (asset for creators; not downloaded in this pass).

## Contributor payment bands (public About page)

These are **payments to video makers**, not product/machine prices. Recorded because they define the public contributor programme:

| Length / package | Payment |
| --- | --- |
| 1-minute video + ~100-word article | R200 |
| 1:00–1:30 video + ~150-word article | R250 |
| 1:30–2:00 video + 200+ words + 1 photo | R350 |
| 2:00–3:00 video + 200+ words + 1 photo | R450 |
| 4-minute video + 300+ words + 2 pictures | R500 |

Note on About page: if a video is dramatically longer than 4 minutes, split into topics or a linked mini-series.

## Free viewing vs paid contribution

End users watch training for free; contributors may be paid for accepted submissions. No customer course tuition schedule was found on the public pages ingested.
