Week 16 of reaching $2,000/month and 400 followers as a video editor Stats Income: $1080 (This month) Clients: 2 Followers: 324 Haven’t been posting here for the last week since I’ve had so much to do I still have a lot to do, but I wanted to take some time to update you guys I’ve been spending my time editing a lot of ads and organic videos for my clients This is shaping up to be the month when I hit my target But as I said, I still have a lot of work left So let’s keep grinding, and we’ll see 👀

For almost exactly 1 year ago, I started my journey as a video editor 💻 After I made my first video in CapCut, I wanted to try a real editing software, so I bought PR and AE Then came the headache: Layers? Keyframes? Adjustment layers? Effects? Sound design? Storytelling? Yeah… we’ve all been there In desperation to learn and understand the software, I came across Malice’s Skool community, where I downloaded his editing pack and test videos It took me 1 month to finish my first video and it was sh*t I tried to edit some more, but it was so hard and time consuming My brother (@HenkVisuals ) gave me access to some of the courses he had used, where I learned shortcuts, how to think as an editor, and more Then, in April, I got my first client. I thought it was a good deal… but I got $10 for 4 long-form videos 😂😭 BUT it was a client, and I learned a lot During this time I was editing on my Macbook Air M2 with 8GB ram, you can imagen how hot and laggy it was to render a long form video haha So I took the money I had a bought a Macbook Pro M1 MAX with 64GB ram and 1TB storage for $2,000, and yes it was worth it From there, I just kept editing I understood that if I wanted to make faster progress, I had to invest in myself So I came across @Hadadbiz’s paid Skool community, where I learned the importance of personal brand and how to position yourself to stand out as an editor I started posting on X, and honestly, getting hundreds of followers felt impossible I was stuck at 40 followers for so long But after using my new knowledge of personal branding, my account started to get more and more followers After focusing on my personal brand, I got some inbound clients that I still work with today Then I felt that my editing wasn’t improving. I was doing the same effects, visuals, and sound design in every video So once again, I invested in myself and bought @tomlulofs’ editing course, where I learned a lot about design, effects, and how to actually edit the kind of videos I'm into And that’s where we are now During this year I’ve: • Worked with 5 different clients • Grown my personal brand from 0 to 300+ followers • Earned around $2,000+ $2,000 might sound smal, but it's realistic and true For me it’s been a crazy year, I’ve learned a lot and I still have so much to learn Thank you all for being part of this journey Let’s keep going 💪

Week 11 of reaching $2,000/month and 300 followers as a video editor Stats Income: $150 Clients: 3 Followers: 263 Something I’ve learned the past few weeks is: stick to your rates An old client reached out, asking me to edit two videos for him. Since the last time I worked with him, I’ve increased my rates because my editing has improved a lot But since he was an old client, I found it so hard to tell him my new price This led to me accepting a WAY lower price than I’m worth. Still, I wanted to make the videos as good as possible, so I spent a lot of time on them But, when the videos were done and I received the payment, it felt like I had wasted my time and energy So from now on, I’ll always stand up for my rates and never accept anything below that Let’s keep learning
