JOB OVERVIEW

Required Skills:
Video Editing (YouTube)
Short-Form Editing (Reels, TikToks, Shorts)
Adobe Premiere Pro / Final Cut Pro / DaVinci Resolve
Motion Graphics (optional, a plus)
Audio Editing (basic cleanup)
Thumbnail Design (optional, a plus)
YouTube SEO (optional, a plus)

Job Description:
I'm looking for a motivated, creative, and ambitious video editor who’s ready to grow with me long-term. Someone who wants to prove themselves, who’s hungry to get better, and who understands (or is curious about) the digital marketing space.

This role is not for an agency. It’s for someone who wants to own their work, take pride in it, and be a valuable team member—not just a freelancer checking boxes.

What You’ll Be Doing:
Edit 1–2 YouTube videos per week
Average length is 10–20 minutes
1–2 videos per month may be 60–90 minutes long (interviews, live trainings, etc.)
Create short-form content from those videos:
YouTube Shorts
Instagram Reels
TikToks
Make clean, high-quality edits that feel fast, punchy, educational, and sometimes humorous
Stay organized with file naming, drafts, and simple project handoffs via Google Drive or Dropbox
Bonus Skills (not required, but helpful):
Creating YouTube thumbnails
Writing video titles/descriptions with basic SEO
Helping brainstorm content structure and video hooks
Familiarity with Alex Hormozi, Gary Vee, Ben Heath or digital marketing content styles

About Me:
I’ve worked with agencies before—spent a lot of money—and I’m ready to build something better. I’m looking for a reliable teammate I can trust, not just a contractor.
You’ll be treated with respect. You’ll be paid on time, every time. And you’ll be part of something that’s growing fast.

What I Expect From You:
You take pride in your work and try to beat your last edit every time
You’re better than me at editing (that’s why I’m hiring you!)
You’re reliable and consistent—some weeks we’ll have more work, some less, but your quality and turnaround time stay steady
You want long-term work where your skills and pay grow over time
You care about the final product, not just finishing the task

Compensation:
This is a flat monthly retainer so you’re not punished for light weeks, and I’m not worried during heavy weeks. I’m aiming to keep you at 80–85% of your capacity on average.

How to Apply:
If you’re interested, please respond with all 3 of the following:

Portfolio
Send me 3 videos you’ve edited. Add 1–2 sentences for each about why you’re proud of it or what you learned doing it.

Who inspires you
Share 2–3 YouTube creators/editors you learn from or admire, and why.

If We’re a Good Fit:
If I like your application, I’ll send you one of my past videos.
Your job? Watch it and tell me what you’d do differently—and why.
No need to edit anything—just share your thoughts so I can see how you think.


Bonus Points:
If you’ve ever edited content for digital marketers, coaches, or educators
If you’ve made your own YouTube channel or TikTok page
If you’re eager to grow your skills and want feedback regularly

Location:
Remote. Philippines preferred.
Must be comfortable working with EST/PST time zone overlap for feedback (no strict hours required—just good communication).

Room to Grow: Start rate is $400-700/month with increases based on quality and consistency. I want to pay you more if you’re the right fit.
