00:00It is very easy to earn money from video editing if you are skilled.
00:04And I am sure that 80% of the video editors are amazing.
00:0815% will be a good job and 5% of the editors will be ready to play the real game.
00:15If you are from 80% of the video editors, leave this video and leave it.
00:19Because in this video, I will give practical tips and honestly,
00:23the required things that practically you have to do, boring things,
00:27I will tell you.
00:28In a lot of freelance videos, there are flashy flashy things,
00:31people tell you.
00:32Like, do this, do this, do that.
00:34But actually, the base build, the fundamental thing is not taught.
00:38So, in this video, there are those things.
00:40So, the 5% of the video editors or the 15% of the video editors,
00:44who actually want to play this game seriously,
00:47they will watch this video.
00:49It seems bad, but this is the reality.
00:51Let's talk about the work.
00:52Who am I?
00:53And why can't I teach this fundamental?
00:56I am a video editor, filmmaker and content creator.
00:59And in the past 5 years, I am in this field.
01:01I have almost 5 channels.
01:03This is my 6th channel.
01:04In the 16th year, I am learning content creation, video editing and filmmaking.
01:08And now, I am 21 years old.
01:10And right now, I am doing freelance video editing for clients.
01:13And through that, I am easily earning more than 2 lakhs per month.
01:16Now, you know who I am and why I can tell you.
01:19So, now listen.
01:20First point is, learn first.
01:22Everything in this world starts with learning.
01:24If you are not learning, then you will not reach a level until one level.
01:27But it doesn't mean that if you have learned that one time,
01:30then you will only learn that.
01:31You will always grow your level constantly.
01:34Any other field.
01:35So, see, there are two things majorly.
01:37Technical skills and soft skills.
01:39Which I should say is fundamental.
01:42So, before explaining these two, I will tell you one thing.
01:45Because in the market, there are many different editors.
01:47There are many different technical skills.
01:49There are many different editors.
01:52But I am telling them all.
01:53Why?
01:54Because they come from other content.
01:57But they don't get their clients.
01:59Why?
02:00Now, I will explain.
02:01Why?
02:02Technical skills, you have learned one part.
02:03You will learn all of it.
02:05In YouTube, there are many tutorials.
02:06But when it comes to fundamental skills, soft skills.
02:10So-called soft skills.
02:12There are many editors.
02:15Because freelancing is almost equal to running a business.
02:19And in business, you have to manage accounts.
02:21You are a sales person.
02:23You are a marketing person.
02:25You are an outreach guy.
02:26You have to wear multiple hats.
02:29In one role.
02:30And when it comes to freelancing is a business,
02:32you don't know the editors.
02:33That they will also learn soft skills.
02:35What they do is,
02:36to create a new trend on YouTube.
02:38Which has also come.
02:39The mid-journey to use this 3D element.
02:41How can I get this thing to do?
02:43The style of Magnets Media.
02:44The style of Iman Ghazi.
02:45The style of Iman Ghazi.
02:47The way of technical skills.
02:48All of them are pulling out into the video.
02:49If one of the videos is not in there,
02:51they will learn everything.
02:52But when it comes to pitching their services.
02:54Actually going in the sales call.
02:56And making the client understand.
02:58what they offer and in case if the client comes with them
03:02what will they do to onboard them
03:05and how will they provide services
03:07I mean when will they follow up with them
03:08how many frequent messages to send them
03:10when will they over communicate
03:11when will they not do
03:12they don't know about this
03:13and that's where the fundamentals come into play
03:16that's why I tell you
03:17that you learn technical skills
03:19also learn soft skills
03:21negotiation, accounting and management
03:23there are many soft skills that you can develop
03:26like being confident when you are not confident
03:28so faking the confidence is also a soft skill
03:30but when you learn it
03:32then you will develop it
03:33so why do I say this to you
03:35because this problem in the market
03:36and the solution is to learn soft skills
03:38what is the problem in the market?
03:40clients and editors hire
03:41but editors don't know
03:42how to communicate with clients
03:44when to follow up or not
03:46under deliver
03:47time management
03:48so there are multiple factors
03:50which are soft skills factors
03:51the work is very good
03:53so clients need a reliable person overall
03:55not only in technical skills
03:57I personally have talked to the clients
03:59they need to get a job
04:00they need to get a job
04:01they are okay with it
04:03rather than top-notch industry
04:04best work
04:05like Christopher Nolan
04:06you think
04:07if you are a client
04:08then you keep your editor
04:09who doesn't communicate with you
04:10on the time
04:11you are late to deliver
04:12your project
04:13no!
04:14you become such an editor
04:15understand?
04:16the conclusion is
04:17fundamental skills
04:18and technical skills
04:19when you learn these two things
04:20you will be unbeatable
04:22and the 5% category
04:24may be
04:25you also go out
04:26second point is
04:27personal brand
04:28yes, this was an optional point
04:29a few years ago
04:31but for now
04:32this era is now online
04:33and in this era
04:34you have to present your voice
04:35in a different way
04:36you have to present your voice
04:38online
04:39you have to make a presence
04:40so that you have to come to you
04:41inbound leads
04:42to you
04:43every time
04:44you don't want to outreach
04:45you don't know
04:46that only means
04:47that you have to email
04:48to your client
04:49you have to DM
04:50multiple clients
04:51to find different platforms
04:52that is basically outreach
04:53so you don't always do this
04:54there must be a platform
04:56where you have your clients
04:57and your work
04:58here you want
04:59you have to work hard time
05:00so make a personal brand

05:28because that requires
05:29a lot of effort
05:30you have to invest

05:55client
05:56who only my clients
05:57have only my personal brand
05:58so personal brand
06:00is so powerful
06:01third point is

06:11a little bit
06:12so you have to practice it
06:13a little bit
06:14eventually
06:15if you don't start
06:16then of course
06:17you will have different skill set
06:18but if you want to do it
06:19freelance
06:20freelance video editor
06:21then constantly
06:22educate yourself

06:31if you want to do it
06:32if you want to do it
06:33if you want to do it
06:34I told you in a video
06:36that you have to do it
06:37one year
06:38to do it
06:39then you can expect
06:40a good client
06:41if you are a beginner
06:42then you are intermediate
06:43then you have to do it
06:44for 6 months
06:45so you have to do it
06:46so you have to get a good client
06:47and the good client
06:48means that you have to give it
06:49to you
06:51maybe
06:521,000,000,000
06:53but
06:541,000,000,000
06:55no other client
06:56will pay so much
06:57pay
06:58but
06:59that you have to do it
07:00too
07:01if you want to do it
07:02then you will have to work like that
07:06and as much as you are
07:07you will shine
07:08so if you are learning
07:09then I would suggest
07:10that if you are getting
07:11one or two clients
07:12that you don't pay
07:13you can take them
07:14you can take them
07:15they will edit the videos
07:16you will learn things
07:17experiment with their videos
07:18and eventually
07:19you will learn a lot of things
07:20but
07:21you will take them
07:22as much as you can handle
07:23and your practice
07:24also
07:25means
07:26they will only go 4-5 hours
07:27to your clients
07:28then
07:29you have to go to practice
07:30that is completely fine
07:31when you are in the process
07:32you will get the money
07:33you will get the money
07:34that is completely fine
07:35when you are in the process
07:36you will get the money
07:37then you will say
07:38take another client
07:39take another client
07:40but don't do it
07:41I have to do it
07:42I have to do it
07:43if you are off track
07:44then please
07:45because
07:46when I was on track
07:47I had to practice
07:48I had to continue
