Hey! I'm Giovanni. Quick story: I work in tech sales, I'm building a startup at night, and I've d
Here's the thing. I don't want to hire a different editor every month. I want to find one person early, train them on exactly how I want things done, and grow together. If you're a short-form editor who's hungry, coachable, and looking for a home instead of another gig, this is it.
THE QUICK VERSION
- What: TikToks and Instagram Reels. Talking-head "yapping" videos, get-ready-with-me, and day-in-the-life.
- How many: One reel a day to start, with room to grow to two.
- Pay: $10–$20 per reel based on experience and quality, with raises as we grow.
- Turnaround: 24 hours from raw footage to first cut.
- Tools: Instagram Edits app or CapCut. Either works. We'll work in Slack.
- My page:
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
You don't need to be a 10-year pro. You need real short-form experience, a good eye, and the drive to get great. I have a full style guide for how I want my reels edited, and I'll walk you through it and give you direct feedback until it clicks. Then you own it.
This is daily work for the long haul, around 30 reels a month, and the rate climbs as the page grows. There's also a fitness app I'm building and a YouTube channel behind this. When those take off, you're the first person I bring in. Getting in early is the whole opportunity here.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
I'll send raw footage every day through Slack with a quick note on the hook and the point of the video. From there:
- Cut it tight. Trim the pauses and rambling, keep the energy up, hook in the first second.
- Captions and on-screen text. Clean, well-timed, in our brand style. This is a big part of the look.
- Simple, tasteful edits. Zooms, cuts, B-roll placement, sound. Enough to hold attention, never overdone.
- Two styles: raw talking-head yapping reels, and GRWM or day-in-the-life vlogs with timestamps and title cards.
- Export ready-to-post, 9:16, no watermarks, for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts.
- Quick tweaks from my notes. Usually one round, often none.
THE STANDARD
Go look at these before you apply so we're on the same page:
If you watched those and thought "I can edit like that, and I'd love to," you're who I'm looking for.
WHO I'M LOOKING FOR
- You've edited short-form content before (Reels, TikToks, or Shorts) and you can show me examples. Doesn't have to be for a big account.
- You know the Instagram Edits app, or you're strong in CapCut. Either works, Edits is a plus.
- You're passionate about short-form. You watch Reels and notice why they work. You have opinions on hooks and pacing.
- You're comfortable in Slack and you're responsive. We'll talk every day.
- Fast and reliable. 24-hour turnarounds, and if something's going to slip, I hear about it before it does. I'll always do the same for you.
- Coachable. I'll train you on my style and give clear feedback, and you actually apply it.
- Fluent English, and you get the vibe of lifestyle and self-improvement content.
Please don't apply if you're looking for a quick one-off gig. This is a daily, long-term thing and I want someone who's excited about that.
WHAT YOU GET
- Daily, consistent work. Around 30 reels a month.
- Raises as your work speaks for itself. When the page grows, you grow with it.
- Real training. My full style guide and direct feedback from me until you've got it.
- First look at everything that comes next: the app launch content, the YouTube channel, all of it.
- A real voice. I want your ideas on hooks, trends, and what to try next. You're a creative partner, not just a pair of hands.
HOW TO APPLY
Start your message with the word "Rocket" so I know you read the whole thing. Then send me:
1. 3–5 Reels or TikToks you edited, and exactly what you did on each.
2. Which editing app you use, and whether you've used Instagram Edits.
3. One reel from any of the accounts above and two sentences on why it works.
4. Your rate per reel and how many reels a week you can realistically handle.
The strongest applicants get a paid test edit, one real reel from real footage, before we commit. So you get paid either way.
I need to see your work to consider you, so please don't skip the links. Let's build something big.
