# Clip and unclip papers

$6/h for approved video; work and earnings are not guaranteed

Clip 3-5 sheets of paper together, then take the clip off again. One round per clip.

**Start:** 3-5 loose sheets of paper and a clip on a table.

**Record:** Gather the sheets, square the edges, put the clip on and let go for a second. Then take the clip off and put it down.

**Done when:** The sheets are loose again and the clip is on the table.

**Also counts:** Paper clips, binder clips, clothes pegs or a bulldog clip; paper, cards or receipts. No staplers. Send as many clips as you like, changing the clip or the paper each time.

**How:** phone on your head (not on your chest or in your hand), both hands free and in view the whole time, good light. One continuous clip of one complete round, about 10-60 sec (max 90 sec). Start recording a few seconds before you begin and stop a few seconds after you finish. Keep the app open until it uploads. Keep faces and documents out of view.

**Can be declined if:** not first-person, phone held in a hand, hands out of view, the start or the result not visible, the round not finished, or too dark or blurry.
