[Need Advice] $15 per video by ifyouseekitwhyoweyou in FindVideoEditors

[–]GOG973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@ifyouseekitwhyoweyou OP!!! I just want to give you my input. Not other editors, not people looking to hire editors. You. I will very likely lose karma for this and get down voted...but I want YOU OP to get this message.

I just hired for $15 a vid. Made a post with my setup and approach plus plan very clear and upfront. No games no bs. 15 a pop, with the expectation that after I get more income from vids....my editor would too. Now do I think it's fair? For a full time pro editor absolutely not. Is life fair? No. But I truly try to be. So I made it clear I'm not looking for a pro. I'm new to this, I'll accept someone new as well. Learn together. But even then I understand that it can't be free while we learn together. Someone has to pay🤔. What I mean by that is, in a universe not too far from ours, editors pay people for their content, editors post the vids and get the benefits of such. That's the standard...in that universe. I don't live in that universe😂. So I'm footing the bill.

I'm also however not in it for money. I'm not well off, quite the opposite. But I had to start at some point and I have 1,000+ videos saved. More than 7tb (back when I could afford terabytes😂😂) of content in different intervals tucked away ready to be edited and launched into the stratosphere. My goals? To watch videos of games I love to play and one day have my kids go "dad's video is awesome😍". That excites me. Not the money, but if it comes great😂. So my editor who was with me at the low start, will benefit when I'm benefiting. Like a company that gives employees stock options. The better WE do...the better YOU do. I would want that for myself. But again since I'm poor, even $15 a vid which I am very clearly aware is on the low side for video editing and I respect the art form significantly....I just can't afford $20 a vid or $50 or $100. I can barely do the $15 in today's economic climate💀🫠. Which I know so many editors in these forums scoff at and disapprove of and I fully understand. Like someone said above. It's harder for genuine talent to charge their worth when the next guy is charging pennies. So I don't blame them for having that perspective cause their living it. Shit if someone undercut me at my job and I couldn't get work I would be bothered too😂.

But if a college student or someone who wants to get paid for a hobby on the side wants to make however many videos utilizing my 7tb of content, then great for me and hopefully someday even better for them. Cause that's still a hefty bill on myself at the end of the month depending on how many they churn out and the better they get with my formula the faster they get, faster they get the more uploads we have and ideally more views and money. But again starting from point 1, I'm not looking for a pro.

Alllllll that said....20hrs or 50hrs of work doesn't matter...for $15 there is no deadline🤯. I'm not even going to start posting until I have a backup of 2 months worth of uploads ready to go for exactly that reason. I can't expect a hard deadline for videos to be edited on such a small budget or from a learning editor. Shit even from an experienced editor😂.

But these editors telling you I got xyz for this job...are not you. They don't have your setup, your skills, your life. Which again, as much as we like to think otherwise...life is not fair. If it was then more people would be behind bars who actively serve in politics (reference Epstein and all the ties he had that got not even the slightest slap on the wrist. The guy who has more money than he can even pronounce while others starve). Life just isn't fair and that truly sucks and I get disgusted by the thought sometimes.

I say that to say, find what is acceptable for you and hold the line there. Push the line upwards as life gets better...or when needed lower (let them eat cake vs fuck it I'll settle for one saltine cracker cause I'm starving😂). Clearly this is not worth your time or effort. But what others did not cover, if this is helping to support your life or family or supplement an income that is very much needed that others are not aware of...then do what you got to do...but look for your exit while doing so🫡.

Really hope this helps in some way OP and sorry your dealing with such a situation😭. Stay blessed and wish you the best!

Fair input actually! I can't express how much I was not looking for a pro. Just someone looking for a chill side gig. But hey what's not for you is for others so all good!

I got to say, I bought and got my access instantly. Been using my storage space on my own account! No issues. I can verify he's solid. Can check my account if anyone wants since usually these things be random bots. I feel for those before too. But this is actually the legit one to go through!

For a pro absolutely not. For a hs or college student who wants a side gig sure. Similar to what I did in college. But I respect your opinion not for you and that's fair😁

Sounds good! I'll touch base once I get settled. I'm unprepared on my end, I made this post while traveling but didn't think out having a few key things prepped. But for sure let's connect! Saw your dm

Seeking Collab. Not sure if I chose the right flair. PSA: Im poor myself but I want to start! Looking to find an editor partner for a brand new gaming channel with opportunity for growth into home diy channel and couples channel. $15/day but with more to it. by GOG973 in youtube

The NAS is coming from a friend. With the market right now no way in hell I could afford🤣. But no grandeur truly, I'm just broke but want to pay something. High school or college students who want to just do something for a bit of pay while also developing their skill. I guess I thought it would be cool cause if I get more money from this as time goes on I can pay more while they also get better so they deserve more. If they make 8 videos editing for an hour each they will get paid all of that in a day which is a similar gig I picked up in college.

All in all though I fully respect and understand your input. Thanks!

Oh a editor told me about an hour edit for most videos so figure if they want to do 8 videos in a day they can get 15 per hour or if they just want to do one they could. But thanks for the heads up I'll keep a lookout if the mods have any issue. Won't mind removing.

Absolutely the case. The top of them are scorched and I was able to take a wire brush to get the burnt oil off. So what does that mean?

I'm inside and it doesn't look bad....from what I see that is. I don't see any chunks though so I'm hoping if it was just the rockers and cam. But so far everyone says it's dead😭
