You're invited to FTE 2.0 Launch Party 🎉
I started Full-Time Editor in late 2024 And back then, it was more of an "educated guess" of what would actually help editors I looked back at my journey Asked myself what would help me And built that sort of version of a program But for the whole 2025, I was speaking to editors working towards $5K/month... Every. Single. Day. Reviewing their edits Helping them write price raise messages Seeing where they're struggling with clients, editing & workflow Good news? We've been able to get a fair few editors to $5K... Bad news? Earlier this year, I realized that the program can be so so so much better Unfortunately (for me), that meant rebuilding the whole thing 😭 Three months of blood, sweat, and tears later... I'm so happy and proud to announce that FTE 2.0 goes live on May 1st 🥇 That means three things: 1️⃣ Launch party this Thursday 🎉 I'll show you what I cooked up during the 3 months: Basically a blueprint to $5K/month by editing 4 hours a day And we'll just hang out lol You'll be able to ask me anything 2️⃣ We're about to get so many editors to $5K (my favourite) @Parnay Chopra joined FTE a bit less than a month ago, and this is what his client said last week: "its actually crazy how i dont even have an revisions for anything you send Imao im even using your edits as a blueprint for other editors" In the meantime, we're scheming how to raise Parnay's prices with this guy 🧐 3️⃣ You can be the founding FTE member (and save some $$$) We've had 2 legends @Daniel Lara and @Gabriel Humberto Cárdenas Isea join us this week So now, there are 4 spots left... If you wanna join the program for the most affordable price ever, comment "FTE 1.0" below and I'll reach out 📩 P.S. Check the Calendar tab in Skool to see the timing of the Launch Party for your timezone ⏰

1.0 is already great, cant wait to see 2.0!!
it's not always glamorous (why I told 3 editors to LOWER their prices)
I talk a lot about charging high prices: $2.5k videos $5k retainers $100k clients But I'll be honest – getting to that stage takes a lot of time. And the process of getting there usually isn't glamorous... Let me share the actual reality: 1️⃣ Coaching call with @André Rodrigues yesterday: Andre joined FTE around 5 months ago, without any youtube-editing experience. A month or so ago, he landed his first consistent YT client, and here's what we decided on the call: To slightly go DOWN in price, so that he gets 4 vids per week, instead of 2. 2️⃣ Coaching call with @Alejo Melian today: Alejo has been working with his main client for years, and when he joined FTE, we basically tripled his price right away. The client agreed, but pulled back on the quantity of videos (3-4 → 2 per month). Still more money per month, but now the client spends his Saturdays editing videos... So we decided to take a bit of an L and lower Alejo's price for these simpler videos that he can get done in no time 3️⃣ Coaching call with @Максим Уляница today: Max is such a legend tbf - Joined FTE literally a few weeks ago - Never edited a long-form vid in his life - And got a response on his very first outreach message LOL (that's what happens when you do outreach the proper way, instead of 10000 automated cold DMs a day) But anyways, the prospect asked for Max's rates and said upfront that the budget is tight Is that a dream client? No. Is that a great opportunity to practice and start building up a long-form portfolio? Hell yes. So instead of trying to charge as much as possible, we decided to be flexible with the rate to actually secure this 100K subscriber client. Learning > earning. —————————————— Lots of you are grinding hard rn towards that $5K/month goal... And I know it's tough. So after the calls, I got inspired to write this and let you guys know the reality.

Hey! This is Daniel. I started out in the film industry but moved away into video editing because, while fun, film in my country is not well paid.
