I haven't been active in the community; instead, I’ve focused primarily on editing. Over the last two weeks or so, I’ve secured $7,500 worth of deals, not one-offs, but retainers. The best advice I can give for achieving this is to build a personal brand. Film yourself and share your insights and your work. This generates inbound leads, and your outreach becomes much more effective when people check out your profile.

Most editors stare at raw footage with no real starting point. They guess where the music should switch. They guess where the visuals should go. And they think there's no story. No wonder the final result feels off. So the client sends specific revisions like: "The music here doesn't fit" "Here we need another animation" "This cut's too abrupt, add more silence" But what's actually broken isn't one specific moment in the video... It's that the edit never had a foundation to begin with. 👉 Next Wednesday, we're running a live Masterclass where I'll walk you through the exact workflow that solves this. 🤖 You'll also get a custom AI tool, 🎹 Keyboard shortcuts to save hours, 💻 And I'll show you how to apply the workflow on a real client project By the end, you'll know exactly where every music switch goes and how to create a story with visuals.
