COMPLETE TUTORIAL CENTER

Every marketplace step. In plain English.

Use these tutorials before posting, applying, starting work, approving delivery, processing payroll or an independent-business payout, publishing sponsored content, or asking for company information.

CUSTOMER TUTORIALS

Hire and manage the production.

01

Post a clear project

Choose the service, date, town, budget range, deliverables, and private venue details.

  1. Open Post a Project and sign in.
  2. Add the date, town, private venue, service, scope, budget, and deliverables.
  3. Accept the Customer Project Terms and submit for owner review.
  4. Watch status in My Marketplace; submission is not a booking.
02

Understand creator matching

The owner-assist score compares requested skill overlap, current availability, Connecticut location fit, portfolio-link presence, verified paid completions, and whether the creator applied. Human review can override the order.

  1. Read the current project, assignment, or information status.
  2. Use only the action available for that status.
  3. Keep scope, rights, safety, classification, and payment changes in writing.
  4. Contact CT Video Services before proceeding when the facts do not match.
03

Approve scope and creator compensation

The written project agreement controls the customer price, creator assignment, approved employee-payroll or independent-business path, changes, rights, cancellation, and payment schedule.

  1. Confirm the customer scope, price, schedule, rights, cancellation terms, and change process in writing.
  2. Wait for CT Video Services to approve the creator as either employee payroll or a qualifying independent business.
  3. Confirm the creator compensation and any separately disclosed production or platform portion.
  4. Approve later scope or compensation changes in writing before the changed work begins.
04

Review deliverables

Review work through the project workspace, request only agreed revisions, and confirm acceptance when the deliverables match the written scope.

  1. Read the current project, assignment, or information status.
  2. Use only the action available for that status.
  3. Keep scope, rights, safety, classification, and payment changes in writing.
  4. Contact CT Video Services before proceeding when the facts do not match.
05

Payments, refunds, and disputes

Customer payment, employee payroll, and independent-business payables are tracked separately. Report a problem before accepting final delivery so the proper documented review can begin.

  1. Read the current project, assignment, or information status.
  2. Use only the action available for that status.
  3. Keep scope, rights, safety, classification, and payment changes in writing.
  4. Contact CT Video Services before proceeding when the facts do not match.

CREATOR TUTORIALS

Find work and understand compensation.

01

Build a reviewed creator profile

Use work you own or have permission to display. Profiles remain private unless you explicitly opt in and CT Video Services reviews and approves the public listing.

  1. Use your public professional name and Connecticut base.
  2. Select real skills and describe the work you handle best.
  3. Add only portfolio links you own or may display.
  4. Submit for review; public indexing begins only after approval.
02

Apply for relevant work

Explain your fit, availability, and travel limits in the protected application workspace. Public gigs use the creator earnings shown for the published scope. Applying never guarantees an offer.

  1. Read the current project, assignment, or information status.
  2. Use only the action available for that status.
  3. Keep scope, rights, safety, classification, and payment changes in writing.
  4. Contact CT Video Services before proceeding when the facts do not match.
03

Confirm the engagement and compensation

Do not begin work until the assignment identifies the approved employee-payroll or independent-business path, scope, schedule, compensation, expenses, rights, and cancellation terms.

  1. Do not start from a profile approval, match score, application, or verbal message.
  2. Confirm the written scope, location, schedule, safety terms, rights, and cancellation terms.
  3. Confirm whether the approved path is employee payroll or independent business.
  4. Complete the required payroll, tax, insurance, permit, or external payment onboarding before work begins.
04

Work, check in, and deliver

Follow the written production plan, protect customer information, report incidents, and submit the agreed files or delivery links.

  1. Read the current project, assignment, or information status.
  2. Use only the action available for that status.
  3. Keep scope, rights, safety, classification, and payment changes in writing.
  4. Contact CT Video Services before proceeding when the facts do not match.
05

Understand payroll and payout timing

Employees follow the approved payroll schedule regardless of customer payment. Qualifying independent businesses follow the written milestone, settlement, compliance, and documented-hold terms.

  1. Check the approved engagement path before accepting the assignment.
  2. If you are an employee, record compensable time and follow payroll instructions; customer payment does not control your payday.
  3. If you are a qualifying independent business, confirm locked project earnings and the written milestone, settlement, and hold conditions.
  4. Use the approved external payroll or payment provider and report a missing, failed, reversed, or disputed payment promptly.

COMPANY + GOVERNANCE TUTORIALS

Request information without creating a securities platform.

01

Start with public company information

Review the published services, leadership, operating model, governance boundaries, and company contact path.

  1. Review the public company, service, leadership, and governance information.
  2. Separate operating questions from legal, tax, accounting, and investment questions.
  3. Use the public company contact path for a specific factual question.
  4. Verify important information independently with qualified advisers.
02

Ask a company or governance question

Use the public contact channel for a specific company, lender, adviser, or strategic-partnership question. Do not send financial credentials.

  1. Describe the company, governance, lending, advisory, or strategic-partnership topic.
  2. Request only public or ordinary business information through the public contact channel.
  3. Do not email bank, brokerage, accreditation, tax, government-ID, or other sensitive financial records.
  4. Use a separate professional channel if counsel determines one is required.
03

Respect the securities-counsel gate

Private requests, opportunity controls, access approvals, and information rooms are disabled. No website checkbox or owner record can enable them.

  1. Do not submit a private access request; the request endpoint is disabled.
  2. Do not create an opportunity or grant access; the owner controls are disabled.
  3. Do not rely on a private-room URL; room pages fail closed.
  4. A future workflow requires documented securities-counsel approval before engineering can enable it.
04

Complete independent diligence

Public materials are informational and may change. Verify important claims with your own legal, tax, accounting, and financial advisers.

  1. Read the current project, assignment, or information status.
  2. Use only the action available for that status.
  3. Keep scope, rights, safety, classification, and payment changes in writing.
  4. Contact CT Video Services before proceeding when the facts do not match.
05

Use a separately approved legal channel

CTVideoServices.com does not accept investments, commitments, securities orders, escrow, eligibility documents, or transaction-based referral payments.

  1. Use this website only for public company and governance information.
  2. Do not submit investment money, commitments, orders, eligibility documents, or financial credentials.
  3. Complete any future legal, eligibility, diligence, signature, and payment work through the separately approved outside channel.
  4. Have your own legal, tax, accounting, and financial advisers review every formal document.
