Pros and Cons of Video Shopping

Would love to know your thoughts. I have been contemplating this since the shop fees are higher but I am scared! Would love your Pros vs Cons!

Pros:

More shops available to you.

MSCs provide better support and communication.

Fees start higher.

Many shops require very minimal reports.

Cons:

High upfront cost.

You are on video so less room for error.

You won't get paid for a percentage of your shops due to equipment failure.

The equipment wears out and needs replacement eventually.

A large percentage of shops are one-and-done where you cannot shop them again or the rotation is really long so travel becomes more necessary.

Many of the shops require you to pose as someone with a high income, such as a home buyer in an upscale area, and you may not be able to do them with an old car or pickup.

Many shops require just as much reporting as a written shop.
I did an audio recording one to test the waters. This way, I could use a phone rather than investing in a wearable and see how it went.

It took 3x as long as expected but otherwise was OK. I found worrying about keeping my lies straight more energy-consuming than the actual process of lying. I don't think I would do one again for what they were paying but I'm not opposed if the price is right.

It also helps that I worked a phone sales job for many years where we'd be recorded for evaluation at random so I got over my concerns about that ages ago.
