Life has been kinda crazy recently.
Nearing $10k/mo.
Hiring more people.
Making more money.
Couldn’t be more grateful.

“I work 18 hours a day”
No you don’t.
If you’re an editor, the max you can do is 4-5 hrs.
If you work more than that, you’ll burn out.

I still can’t process I’m actually at $10k/mo.
A few months ago, I was broke.
Had no direction in my business.
Now I have more clients than I know what to do with.
Genuinely grateful.

Video editing has changed my life.
Being able to treat and spoil your loved ones and friends without giving it a second thought.
Buy that nice meal, that new shirt, invest back in yourself because you know it’ll all come right back with even more.

Yesterday was my single highest profit day ever.
Where did it go?

A gift for my girlfriend.
And of course a milk tea for me haha.

I see a lot of editors being paid minimum wage.
Or even below..
The value we provide to creators is worth far more than minimum wage.
Charge your worth.

Video editing is EXTREMELY profitable.
If you're stuck chances are you need to improve one of the following.
Outreach strategy, personal branding/marketing, your actual skill in editing, and consistency.
If you can get all those down today, you can go full time tomorrow.

I’m nearing 11k/MRR.
But i'm still hungry.
I'm not greedy, I'm not egotistical, I just want a beautiful life for myself and my family.

It took me 3 years to go from $0 → $3k/mo.
It took me 6 months to go from $3k → $5k/mo.
It took me 1 month to go from $5 → $10k/mo.

I'm blessed to be making 10k+/m
here's 3 lessons I learned along the way.
INVEST INVEST INVEST in your business, obsess over it.
Even if small, do something that's going to make you money everyday.
Get the hardest tasks done first. The momentum will continue.

Video editors are so underrated.

Look at any big Youtuber.
They ALL have editors.

I genuinely love video editing.
When I was making $1k/mo, I didn’t care.
Because I loved doing it.
Now I make ~$10k/mo from it.

The best video editor is nothing without business skills.
There's someone out there 10x better than all of us who's never taken one step with marketing, personal branding, or outreach.
In that regard, we are very lucky to know of such strategies.
Now use them.

Habits that destroy your video editing…
• Not being consistent
• Mindlessly consuming
• Overworking yourself
• Using a crappy editing software
Avoid these at ALL costs.

Stop responding to "need an edit*r" posts.
They're COMPLETELY oversaturated.
Filled with bots, inexperienced editors, and cheap clients.
Spend time researching high quality leads alternatively.
This will be a game changer I promise.

I did my first video for $12.

Hot take 🔥: Hyper-edited gaming content is awful.
While the work is very impressive I can't possibly imagine it being an enjoyable watch.
I think a lot of editors overlook making an enjoyable watch which is ultimately the key to high AVD

Want to 2x your income?
Here's the simple way I scaled from 5k -> 10k in 30 days.
OUTREACH OUTREACH OUTREACH.
It's all a numbers game, keep doing outreach until you get a close that will change your life.
Believe me, people like that are out there.
Go find them.

4 months ago barely any of you knew who i was.
Since then, I've quadrupled my follower count, made amazing connections, and become well respected in the space.
All thanks to personal branding.

Why ai WON'T replace video editors:
• Ai has little emotion
• Ai isn't creative enough
• Ai has lack of critical thinking
• Ai doesn't have human touch
• Ai can't make complex decisions
See what ai produces and you'll be laughing.

This month is looking close to being a 12k MRR

"How can I find clients?"
How can you not?
Video editors are very sought after, if you can't land clients, take some time to evaluate.
Is your marketing weak? Is it your brand? Is your editing lackluster?
This is your sign to take action. Fix your life

Never underestimate the value of having a strong audience.
Selling a $100 product to 1000 people makes you 100k
It's simple math, but that really puts things into perspective.
Personal brand is everything in the creator economy.
While this is still new, take advantage NOW

Want to go full time with video editing?
Start treating it like a business.
So many editors think of every video as a gig.
If you're not strategizing for the long-term you will fail.

Landed a new client yesterday.
What did I have to do to land them?
Nothing at all.
Social proof, high quality work, and strong cold outreach brought me here.
If you're struggling to land clients, there's no excuse for why you can't do all of those.

I started video editing 4 years ago.
I had just turned 15 and was making $12 per video.

Hustlers who work 12 hours a day, don’t sleep, workout 20x per week, and take daily ice baths:

Work hard, play harder.
As much as i support grind culture, some aspects are very toxic.
Give yourself the time you need to recover between large tasks.
I'm not telling you to go party or drink, but playing hard can be having a night out with the boys, taking a nap, anything.

If I had to go from 0 → 10k on YT, here’s how I’d do it:
• Post at least 3x/week
• Focus on the BEST quality
• Put in lots of time to thumbnails
• Engage with your own fanbase
Can’t ever go wrong with this.
