We had a 1-1 coaching call with @Sabo Gyürky a few days ago There's one thing that will get Sabo (and any other editor) paid MORE: Edit better videos. Not flashier with more animations, but BETTER to watch. And this is what's stopping him: "Some days I wake up and I just don't wanna edit. I just wanna get the video done asap." I hear this so often... To learn to edit better videos, you can't "just wanna get it done asap" Routines, Deadlines, Deep work... All that helps, but until you fix the CORE issue – you'll stay stuck. The core issue? Fulfillment. Believe it or not, you need to actually ENJOY editing to get better. I attached the bit from the coaching call below where I explain how to: - Find this fulfillment - Unlock your creativity - Turn creativity into high-paying clients Watch it rn and comment below what resonated the most ⬇️ – Artem

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.

Most editors edit the same way for every client. 💻 Apple style is taking over right now... And technically, the editors are doing a 'good' job: The designs are clean, The animations are smooth, Maybe even the deadlines are met... But high-paying clients don't care about what's trendy. 💡They want editing that feels theirs. Their vibe. Their channel. Their audience. And when it doesn't... ❌ They might not tell you. Instead, they'll: - Slowly pull back on new projects - Start giving vague feedback - Quietly trial other editors... That's how you lose a $3K/month client. Not because you're bad. But because your editing doesn't feel like theirs. Next Wednesday, we're running the Client DNA™ Masterclass inside this community... Where I'll show you how to fix this. We'll also build a unique style for one of your clients, together. Live. See the full details here: → https://masterclass.full-time-editor.com/ Drop your questions below ⬇️ P.S. If you're already inside the paid Full-Time Editor program, you're getting this for free as always
