...but not with success. So far, I've been refused by three agencies when I tried to negotiate my rates. What they offered was between 2 and 4 dollars each time, and I wanted a bare minimum of 5€, which is roughly 6.20$. Every single one of them told me that it wasn't the "standard" rate and that they wouldn't accept to pay more, not even a cent.
Some people here say that there are good companies that pay decently, even as much as 10$/€ per minute of video. In a bit more than three years of looking for new clients every day, I've never come across one of those good agencies. And when you ask for the name of those agencies, people suddenly go quiet so... I'm not even sure they exist, to be honest.
