Are you new to Revision?
No – Skip to Intake Process.
Yes – Welcome to Revision. Getting setup with our company is kind of a lot of work, but don’t get discouraged – we are going to pay you $50 when you’re all setup. Also, this is only something you are going to have to do once, and you might gain a lot of work from us, so it’s a great return on your time invested. You must follow all the instructions on this page. If you choose to ignore any of these tasks before you begin working, you will not be remunerated for your efforts, and your contract will be terminated immediately.

Policy Compliance
Before we get started, it’s crucial we are both on the same page. We are going to need your information, so we can contact you. We also need an image of you and a description of you, so we can include you on our people page. Make sure to write about yourself in a 3rd person point of view, to maintain continuity across all the members. You must also agree to and submit the Subcontractor Agreement.
Instructions:
- Submit Subcontractor Information
- Agree to Subcontractor Agreement.
Google Technology
The next thing we need to setup is your Google account. You will be using this new email address to login to our other systems: PayPal, Basecamp, and Dropbox, so we need to set this up first. The second reason why we want to set this up, is so that you can have access to these crucial features we require:
-
Mail – To send and receive emails.
-
Chat – To chat with other team members
-
Drive – To share and collaborate on text documents and spreadsheets.
-
Hangouts – To perform live teleconferences with customers and associates. Screen sharing and screen recording
-
Youtube – To review screen casts, recorded Hangouts, and research competition.
Instructions:
Note: Once you have setup your Google email account, send us your Google email address. We can send you an invitation to our Google circle, send you your PayPal payment, invite you to our Basecamp, & share our Dropbox with you all at once.
PayPal Information
Instructions:
- If you already have a PayPal account, Login. If you don’t, Sign up.
- Save your username and password somewhere safe.
- Submit your PayPal email address to info@revisionagency.com
Basecamp Participation
Our team also needs to assign projects to you, schedule Hangouts, collaborate, and share ideas with you, so we require that you participate within our Basecamp.
Instructions:
- Send an email titled “Invite Me To Basecamp” to info@revisionagency.com
- You should have received an invitation from us to Basecamp via email.
- Update Profile
Note: We provide more than twenty unique deliverables, but we do not have an Intake Process created for all of them yet.
Dropbox Synchronization
Occasionally a member of our team will have a project deadline and become unavailable and we must perform a project handoff to a different member. Sometimes we need two members working on the same project at the same time, because multiple specialties are required. For example, we could have a copywriter and a graphic designer both working on a magazine together. Sometimes a member will need to just see your files, so they can document your progress.
Instructions:
- If you already have a Dropbox account, Login. If you don’t, Sign up.
- You should have receive an invitation from us via email stating that we are sharing a Dropbox folder with you.
- Join the folder. Then watch the video below about how we maintain an organized file system.
File naming convention:
It is crucial that new members use the same file naming convention as existing members. Please follow this naming convention in your workflow. The best way to explain it is by using a made up company, deliverable, version number, and filetype. So here we go:
- Company = Energy Lane (Abbreviated as “EL”)
- Deliverable = Logo
- Version = Second (Two digits as “02”)
- Filetype = Adobe Illustrator
Make sure the file is all lowercase. This is what the file should be named: el_logo_02.ai
Training & Support
While working for Revision, you will have unlimited access to software training. Whether you want to fine tune your skills on your own time, or run into a wall while you’re trying to get a project finished, you are going to be able to just pull up any lesson you want about any kind of software. If you ever run into a scenario where you are stuck, due to lack of technical proficiency, you can contact support from a Virtual Assistant.

Intake Process
Intake Process is an attempt to complete a project without having to contact a client more than once. As a Contractor of Revision, we require that you follow our instructions a few times until you remember the process we enforce. Overtime, you will begin to understand why we enforce these procedures, you will not need to follow every single step to meet our goals, and you will no longer need to refer to this guide for deliverables you are familiar with.
These guidelines also eliminate working backwards, and boost effective work product. Whatever the reason may be, Revision requires all Contractors to follow these guidelines.
Note: We provide more than twenty unique deliverables, but we do not have an Intake Process created for all of them yet.
