Some people here say that there are good companies that pay decently, even as much as 10$/€ per minute of video.

I'm not even sure they exist, to be honest.

So, my word of good advice: if someone offers you 4 dollars per minute, accept it and in the meantime try finding another provider that pays more. But don't be lured by the arguments that you should negotiate hard and not go below, say, 6 dollars.

You are probably both right. I recently came across another conversation on the same topic and when someone asked which companies they were working for, no one wanted to spill the beans.
