This is something editors ignore. Client asks for samples. Editor sends: - Google Drive link - 6 folders - 20 videos - “Check this, this, and this one” Now the client has to: - open folders - guess what to watch - spend extra time Most won’t do that. Here’s the truth: The easier you are to work with,the higher your chances of getting hired. Clients are busy.They don’t want homework. Less steps = more trust. Best editors do this: - 1 clean link - 2–3 best samples - clear labels That’s it. Not more work. Just less friction. If a client feels tired before hiring you,they won’t hire you. Skill matters. But ease matters more. Make it easy to say yes.

I’ve been an editor for a long time, and this is a rule I’ve always lived by: If you’re actually good, you never need to beg. Even if: - Someone underpays you - Someone doesn’t reply fast - Someone uses your work once and disappears If you’re good, humble, mature, and reliable, you eventually attract better people.That’s inevitable. Here’s what I see too often instead: - Talking about pricing all day - Chasing clients with “???” messages - Getting emotional if someone is busy - Arguing decisions instead of improving output That’s not professionalism. That’s insecurity. Another truth editors don’t like to hear: If you’re really good: - Clients wait for you - Clients call you back - Clients respect your time, even if they’re bigger than you If you’re not getting that treatment, it’s not bad luck —it’s a signal. Instead of: - Crying about fairness - Arguing after rejection - Pressuring clients for validation Do this: - Improve your skills - Follow instructions exactly - Hit deadlines without reminders - Become someone clients feel safe relying on Reliability > talent.Discipline > ego. Good editors don’t chase.They get chosen. If this feels strict, that’s fine.Not everyone is meant for serious work — and that’s okay.

My name is Muhammahd Mahd and I am an expert video editor in Islamic content niche. Alhamdulillah I have generated over 30million views in past 2 years

Right now I’m running an agency for info-preneurs, helping founders and creators build authority through clean, premium content. My journey started back in 2017 — learning Photoshop with a friend.From there I slowly picked up more skills: Shopify, graphic design, video editing… and eventually moved into full content production. I spent 5 years in a corporate job, then shifted into freelancing, and for the last year I’ve been fully focused on creating content and building my own business. This community is where I’ll share everything I’ve learned in the past 7+ years — for free. Skills, insights, systems, workflows… all the things I wish someone taught me earlier. Stay here, stay active, and wait for what’s coming. There’s so much potential inside every one of you — far more than you realize right now. Glad to have you all here. Let’s build something real.
