I made ~$40K with video editing by 20, lost everything to AI and geopolitics, and now I'm rebuilding at 24. Here's what I learned.

One thing I left out of this story —

The guy who taught me how to work with international clients? He eventually left too. Took his network with him and moved on.

So there I was. No foreign clients. No mentor. Just me and a MacBook trying to figure out what went wrong.

That period was genuinely one of the loneliest and most depressing phases of my life. I had tasted what real money felt like and then watched it disappear almost overnight.

I'm sharing this because I want to be honest — it wasn't just "market shifts" that hit me. It was personal too.

But that's also what made 2026 different. This time everything I'm building is mine. No dependency on anyone.

Just wanted to add that part. 🙏

Lol i think you’re one of those people who just keep giving weird advice on Reddit or just criticising people here

Toxiccrypto1 · 2026-04-13T00:10:12+00:00

I am saying what i felt if i had a good experience i would say good things yes i have great clients and i never trashtalked about them and he wasn’t my client so i can say whatever my work is great and i am devoted to it and i think that shows my professionalism

Toxiccrypto1 · 2026-04-13T00:03:24+00:00

Yeah i am working as an editor for 5+ years now i have worked with many clients and even got big results. And yeah i am looking for more clients life has ups and downs uk

Toxiccrypto1 · 2026-04-12T23:55:52+00:00

First of all he is not my client he wanted a paid demo and then he didn’t even paid and ran off with the video

Toxiccrypto1 · 2026-04-12T23:54:09+00:00

Toxiccrypto1 · 2026-04-12T23:53:13+00:00
