📱 Best Platforms
Fiverr (explainer video and product demo VO categories with buyers globally), Upwork (startups and SaaS companies posting VO jobs for product walkthroughs), LinkedIn (connect with startup founders and product marketers who post about product launches).
📖 The Hustle
SaaS startups and product companies need voiceovers for their homepage explainer videos, product demos, and app walkthroughs. You record 1-3 minute voiceovers that explain what the product does in a clear, friendly, and trustworthy tone. Charge $50-200 per video depending on length. Tech companies refresh their explainer videos every 6-12 months, creating repeat work.
🚀 First Step
Pick a SaaS product you use, write a 60-second explainer script for it, record it, and sync it to screen-recorded footage as your demo.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Request the video file first and record while watching it — matching your pace to the visuals is more important than a perfect cold read.
- Practice tech terms 5 times before recording — hearing hesitation on 'API integration' or 'scalable infrastructure' sounds unprofessional.
- Offer 2 delivery styles per project (more energetic vs. more conversational) as a value-add that helps clients choose their brand voice.
