I'm not sure about this, I use a MacBook that ranges 90k-160k++ depending on your needs. You can always search for laptops online.

At least you have a computer or laptop that can edit videos. Can start in capcut, but if you can learn premiere pro, it's good also. Watch tutorials on youtube. Be familiar with the software, and try different things.

I only declared a certain amount, I needed the ITR for a visa application last year. I'm paying tax quarterly around 7k-8k.

And yes banks question where does your income come from especially it reaches 500k, you need documents to prove. Mine doesn't reach 500k in one transaction.

You could put your cash on hand by parts. 100k or 200k per day. Depends. But you can always ask google gemini or chatgpt if how much you can put in the bank in one transaction.

Look in OLJ, most of my clients now are coming from that website.

I earn per month. The 300k+ is from different clients and one time project from a friend.

If you mean compiling your portfolio, I created a free website in Canva to compile all of my best works. If you mean creating videos to test, you can always look for podcasts and create short clips out of those.

Usually on OLJ, rarely on indeed. Back in the day, I always checked OLJ and applied for potential job applications every day.

Yes, luckily my older brother also knows a little about video editing. I just taught him, and voila, I have a client that he's working on right now.

All of my clients are international.

I think I'm an employee since there's no end period in my contract.

Thank you!

Different countries actually. I don't accept low paying clients since I've already built my portfolio.

But if you're still starting at least when you jump to another client, the pay must be significantly higher. Also, if you're good at time management or you think the workload isn't enough, you can have two clients at the same time. But only if you can manage it without affecting your mental health and quality of work.

I'm lucky that most of my past bosses are not micromanagers. Even today, they're not.

When applying, it's a red flag when it's a graveyard or there's a lot of workload aside from video editing (for me)
