The real trigger for hiring a video editor

🔥

I dug into what creators actually did when they hired their first editor. Not the advice. The real experiences.

Most didn't hire when revenue hit a certain level. They hired when editing started limiting how often they could record. Upload frequency dropping was the trigger for most. Many said they wished they had done it sooner. Realistic entry cost was $100 to $350 per long-form video.

If editing is genuinely what is stopping you from producing more, waiting probably costs you more than hiring would.

My own view is that the revenue would need to be considerable before I go there. At the moment I have time to edit myself and the economics do not stack up enough to change that. When they do, the decision makes itself.

No strong right or wrong here. Depends entirely on what is holding you back.

Still doing it yourself or have you hired? What pushed you to make the call?
