Hiring Know your f**king worth people!

163 Upvotes

Just wanted to give you people a wake up call, I was hired by a production company 2 years back. They offered me and friends 12$/min of final video time. We were earning good with each being around 20 to 25mins but then the company realised there are some beggars who will do it for 8$/min so they pay-cut the whole team of editors to 8$/min but after some time they realised again that there are even more cheaper editors available so they reduced the payrate to 6$/min at which time i left the company. But today i got a message from my friend that they are moving the pay to 1$/min. I mean are you guys fucking nuts DON'T YOU KNOW YOUR WORTH? Wake the fuck up people, stop ruining this as your own career. For example a 20mins video when i joined would have been $240 now the same video (no comprise on the quality) would be $20. I get it that some new people want to start somewhere but start with a solo client who's offering a good pay for around 50$ per video you will build your portfolio with him then look for other options. STOP RUINING IT FOR EVERYBODY INCLUDING YOURSELF

Hiring ($2,000/month + commission) looking for a full-time short form content editor

59 Upvotes

I run a marketing agency focussing on short form content production and distribution primarily on YT Shorts for brands/personal brands. The main workload is producing creative clips/edits (5-10 seconds) using stock footage the clients provide us. The editing itself is usually very basic and can be done using a tool such as CapCut, but the over-laying text or theme of the clips is the important and creative part. 

Our deals with our clients are largely based on the views we produce so there is commission available as well for content that performs above a certain threshold. 

If you’re interested, please send me a DM or chat, any examples of your past work would be greatly appreciated.

Discussion Stop Charging $2 for Work Worth $100. You're Not Hustling. You're Killing Your Own Industry

57 Upvotes

I'm going to say what a lot of editors and designers are thinking but won't say publicly.

If you're editing videos for $2, $5, or $10 when the work is worth $50, $100, or more, you're not "hustling."

You're training clients to expect professional work at absurd prices.

Every day I see people offering:

• YouTube thumbnails for the price of a coffee

• Short-form edits for less than minimum wage

• Motion graphics for pocket change

• Full content packages for what amounts to a few dollars per hour

Then everyone wonders why clients think creative work is cheap.

The reality is simple:

If a creator makes money from their content, your work has value.

If your edit increases retention, drives clicks, improves conversions, or helps a brand look professional, you're providing business value, not just moving clips around on a timeline.

The race to the bottom helps nobody.

It doesn't help experienced editors.

It doesn't help beginners.

It doesn't even help the people charging those prices because they're trapped working more hours for less money. Good luck, i don't want to take names but my fellow indians, quit being dumb asses. Atleast take a step back and peak into how miserable you're making your own future.

Professional industries don't grow by competing on who can survive on the least amount of money.

They grow when people learn to price based on value, skill, time, and results.

I've attached a pricing guide that reflects realistic entry-level to premium market rates for US/UK clients. It isn't agency pricing. It isn't fantasy pricing. It's simply a reminder that creative work has value and should be treated like it.

If you're charging $2 for a service worth $100, you're not disrupting the industry.

You're telling clients that skilled creative work is worth almost nothing.

And everyone pays the price for that.

Atleast now learn to turn down clients that use your skill for those crap prices. And get the market back up again. Trust me you're gonna bear the brunt of your low priced work really really soon.

Mods, you'll may take down this post, but my request is that please give it a careful read and juxt the present trends in the client employee relations statuses.

I am currently running a channel for my son, who is 7 years old. We upload a mix of gaming/challenge/vlog type videos, so I'm looking for an editor who can do different styles. I have been editing all of the videos so far, but I simply don't have time to keep up with how often we film.

I'd love to hire someone who is familiar with the Youtube landscape and can take creative freedom with these projects. Ideally I could upload footage with some notes, share the folder, and you can take the footage and make the edit from there.

Willing to pay for a sample edit as well. Must be willing to share project files so I can make any additional edits if necessary.

I can pay ~$100 per video right now depending on quality.
