About
Engaging Video Editor — Automations, Digital Products & “Make Money Online” Content (Long-term, 3 vids/day) I run a Personal Brand And Agency. We’re a growth-focused automation & brand agency. We publish high-velocity info content about automations, digital products, motivation, and making money online. We need an editor who can scale us without sacrificing engagement. What we need (summary) Long-term freelance/hybrid hire (first trial → ongoing). Edit ~3 videos per day (short form: 30–90s, vertical). Deliver edits that drive views, watch time, and shares — we want consistently engaging content that performs. Fast turnaround, reliable communication, and an execution-first attitude. Responsibilities Turn raw footage or voice notes into attention-grabbing vertical videos (TikTok/Instagram Reels/Shorts). Craft strong hooks (0–3s), punchy pacing, captions, motion graphics, and clear CTAs. Optimize each edit for platform performance (thumbnails, text-on-screen, timing). Iterate based on analytics and feedback — optimize formats that work. Manage simple batch edits and maintain organized project folders. Meet daily delivery schedules and communicate delays proactively. Must-have qualifications Proven track record editing short-form info/education/entrepreneurial content with evidence of view counts / engagement. (Include links + metrics.) Advanced skills in Premiere Pro / Final Cut / CapCut + After Effects or equivalent for motion work. Strong sense of rhythm, storytelling, and hook design for vertical video. Fast turnarounds — able to produce multiple high-quality edits per day. Professional work ethic, responsive communication, and reliable deadlines. English language fluency for captions and on-screen copy. Nice-to-have Experience A/B testing short form creative. Basic thumbnail design and copywriting skills. Experience editing content about business, SaaS, entrepreneurship, or marketing. Deliverables & Workflow Roughly 3 final vertical edits per business day (format: 9:16; mp4 or mov). Caption SRT/closed captions and a 1-line hook + 15-word caption suggestion. Organized file naming and a short delivery note (what worked / suggested tweaks). Turnaround: daily batch or staggered deliveries — discuss schedule during onboarding. Compensation Open to fixed per-video rates or a weekly/monthly retainer. Tell us your preferred pricing model and availability in your application. (We will test with a paid trial.) How to Apply (must include) When you apply, include all of the following — applications missing any items will not be considered: Portfolio links to at least 3 short-form videos you edited (preferably vertical). Include view counts / engagement metrics. Your preferred rate (per video or retainer) and timezone / weekly availability. A brief 2–3 sentence plan: how you’d improve one of our videos (example: “I’d tighten the intro to 1.5s, add a curiosity hook text + jump cut at 6s, boost mid-video reengagement with a 12s micro-story”). Your software stack and typical turnaround time for 3 videos/day. Optional: 1 short sample edit (we’ll pay a small fee for a 30–60s trial). Screening questions (copy these into your proposal) Share 3 links with view counts. Which one performed best and why? Can you deliver 3 polished vertical edits in one workday? If yes, describe your process briefly. What’s your timezone and core hours? How fast do you respond on workdays? Trial Paid trial: 1 paid test edit (30–60s) from our footage. If it hits our engagement & speed bar, we move to a weekly retainer and scale.
