Oh my goodness. This is genius! I think ive spent over 2 months blasting crappy emails to everyone, complaining that it didnt get opened. Thank you so much man. Ive been learning how to edit short form super well, and thought this was all going to waste. I love u bro. Gonna start doing this tomorrow.
Lets do this together. Im having this issue too
@@arberi9186 ive just joined the course. I'll see you inside.
Best of luck brother, keep me posted!
ive been in the music industry and film industry decades ago so I already knew that crappy emails dont work lol. that said I love Sams approach and cant wait to join his program. one of the best ive seen on line for sure

ill tell you right now this is good advice, I gave sample videos the wrong way and I just gave it through discord dms or otherwise privatly, but doing it publicly on twitter on my second try I got two clients, and none of them was even the guy I was outreaching too, one of them if offering $17.5 per final video minute so if I edited a 9 minute video for him id get $156, btw, these are my first ever clients, like ive never edited for anyone before, seriously listen to this guy
That's amazing news man, just shows the power that one small switch can make. Congrats on the success so far and I know you'll get much more! :)

Actually I am totally new in this field and I learned a lot from your this video. Go on my man I am always with you.
Thank you! Very glad you enjoyed this bro.

This is great … thank you … It confirmed what I was already thinking and planning to do.. Appreciate your content!
No problem! Sounds like you're on the right track - Glad I could help :)
One thing that prevents me from reaching out to channels is that I see they already have high quality edits way better than mine…
I know exactly what you mean. I tend to avoid those ones. Luckily there's more than enough creators out there that even if you're only at an okay level of editing, you can still find clients whose edits aren't yet up to your standard.
You said it @@sampdbiz
This was exactly what I did to land my first two clients
Bro you are a true youtuber, cause he replied every comment. Hats off 👏🏻👏🏻
Every single one on my channel lol!
@sampdbiz Appreciate you.
Most underrated video for real great work
I appreciate that bro, thank you!
I was thinking a lot about finding client, I appreciate your content, keep up sir
Thank you very much :)
This video is extremly helpful for me. Because I am a short form editor. I have edited more than 20 videos in Alex hormozi style but the problem is clients pay me less than 150 dollar for these 20 videos. So I am struggling to charge more.
Hope you find this useful for increasing your price, more content to come soon!
@suvamdas2005 hii bro ...i m struggling to get client for video editing 😢 can you tell me how u get ur first client???
I would like to volunteer to be your intern. Don't mind working for free

Thanks Sir .. This Video Helps me Alot ☺
Glad to hear that!
Thanks brother you just gotten another subscribed much value
Thank you! :)
This is a really great video! Thanks for sharing this fire tips ❤
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Sam, you are awesome, thank you.
No worries, thank you for watching!
this is the first time that I know about putting pi in URL download's the RUclips video this is awesome man ❤🔥💜
It's super useful for sure. Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much, my friend. May God bless you with all the health and happiness. ❤❤❤
Thank you for watching :)
having connections is one of the most important things
Super important. I came into the game with 0 connections but now I've built up solid connections and understand the important of having good people around you. So much easier.
@@sampdbiz it really is
I appreciate the teaser to what I am sure is going to be some great content. You already gave up some golden nuggets in this one video so I am excited to see what else you are going to have to offer. I recently decided to level up my editing in hopes of gaining some freelance work so this video is very timely. New sub.
Thanks Paul, I appreciate the kind words. Sounds exciting with regards to levelling up with your editing. What's your biggest problem with it at the moment? I can make some content around it.
-Sam
@@sampdbiz Thanks for the offer. My biggest problem up until now was just my computers capability. I started on Camtasia and then moved to Davinci and my computer just couldn’t handle the bandwidth. The lag was horrible but I fixed that. I’d like to see some more business side of editing things from you because there are plenty of channels that teach editing. Maybe how to build an effective website, how I can promote myself, how to search for potential clients and things like that specific to freelance editors.
Thanks for the great suggestions Paul. That's the exact niche I've had in mind, I will no-doubt do a FEW technical 'how-to' editing videos, but I'm almost 95% focusing on the business behind editing/ freelancing so it sounds like you're in luck. Tons of videos coming soon, next one's out tomorrow! Thanks for the support.
What about a content for those who wants to start with low end PC. Or editing with low end PC. Do they have a chance to be a freelancer? Is capcut a good software to start? Is there any client who is looking for any editors that uses capcut? I dont see any topics around this topic. They don't take capcut seriously as a nice video editing software and I wonder if it has a capability to do the same edits for short form content like ali abdal, alex hormozi or any popular channels. Bcoz im sure capcut can do it.
I've seen people to super well with Capcut and create some cool edits, but to be honest there is a limit on how much you can do with it. You're automatically one step ahead and a level up if you were to switch to Premiere Pro, Davinci etc
Thank you, this was incredibly helpful!
No problem at all, thanks for watching! :)
Thank you so much for your video I learned a lot! Still looking for my very first client but now I feel like im about to get one. Anyways I just hit the subscribe button to be updated on your videos
Thank you for watching, and best of luck with your first client! Keep me updated with how it goes :)
Did you find one?
do you think people are willing to hire Vegas Pro editors? I still use many motion graphics and effects
I'm not too familiar with the software to be honest, but 70% of it is the skill of the editor, I would say only 30% is software.
@@sampdbiz okay thanks
what subscriber range should i look for in a potential client? or does it not matter? Plus nice video
Anywhere from 50k/100k subs to 5M subs is realistic, and make sure their channel is on the UP, not declining or hardly any views.
@@sampdbiz ok thanks
Hey, thanks for this. Im actually hopeless and tend to not pursue my editing journey since i feel hopeless to not have that client. Ive made couple of sample videos but no client tend to like it and it really make me feel Video editor is not for me. But since, I watched your video. Hope is coming again tapping my back. Sooo Ill be back here if I made a difference. Thanks!
Keep at it, get that hope coming back and get back in the game, good luck my friend!
Very Informative & detail video Bro!
Thank you bro! Glad you found it valuable.
Editing for corporations is a lot more profitable I have found, they actually have endless streams of money. Most RUclipsrs are poor and can’t afford this service
So true, big/ well paid RUclipsrs and businesses are great clients 👍
Love this video. Thank you. Question though, what would be your approach when you are looking to bring on a business as opposed to another RUclipsr. Would finding out the right person in charge of this be the right method and following what you said?
Thank you! And yes, same process - find a way to add value upfront.
@@sampdbiz Yup thought so. Appreciate the clarity.
I know I am a year late but can you tell me all the bgms you have used in this video
All the music I've used in this video can be found in my Epidemic Sound playlist here: www.epidemicsound.com/playlist/y1brx1ytl27kwa7wb61t85grqvxyivi0/
I've also created Iman Gadzhi, Magnates Media, Ali Abdaal and MrBeast style music playlists just here: www.sampdunn.com/music
Hey sam, how do i build connection. I started 2 months a go i have 3 clients, i want to build connections and stuff but the thing is i cant ask for a shout-out it makes me seem unprofessional and for some reasons my clients doesn't wanna interact with my posts on Twitter.
I am very struggling on this part
Treat X like networking on a 1-1 basis, engage with other editors and RUclipsrs in a meaningful way. Like their posts, leave comments, follow them etc and they will return the favour and become your friend - who will engage with your content and therefor push it out to more people.
Thanks for some pro tips bro
No worries man! Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you for this
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Hello Sam, I just joined your program today! let's see how it goes!!
Glad to hear it, drop me a message over on Skool if there’s anything I can do to help and I’ll pick it up tomorrow:)
Yes I was hesitating but I joined along with the viral formula @sampdbiz !! Ok, I am an English teacher trying to transition over to a content creator/video editor... beginning for me! I needed it because I just couldn't figure out where to start and I just start taking an offline illustrator course, so perfect for me to learn from you - photoshop and primier pro.. together.. then later, I am signed up offline for after effect so.. this year would be a investing year for me..
Sounds great, exciting new beginnings! Best of luck on your journey and I’m here to help you every step of the way :)
@sampdbiz Thanks Sam! My goal is make myself so great that we can enter Korean market! Lol! One day! Anyways , I will talk to you through our academy forum!
can you please tell how much one should charge for short form content editing or at least could you mention a fair price range for it?
There’s no correct answer here but average is anywhere from $30-$150 per short, depending on tons of factors.
Where would you find raw footage for the creator you want to edit for?
You can find it on podcasts, their old videos or some creators just have raw unedited videos to start with! It only needs to be 30 seconds or so.
Some of us may be doing video editing as part time just to make a quick buck. So, therefore it is hard to have a huge capital when starting. This includes a nice pc. Can we do all these above mentioned techniques on phone too? ( Considering you know what you're doing)
Hi there, I have seen people do this on mobile, you just have to start out a lot slower. I know of an 11 year old kid who edits on his mum's phone, then got enough clients/money to buy a laptop. Yes gear matters to a certain extent, but don't worry about it too much.
I made a video on how to start editing with $0 here: ruclips.net/video/m1jCbc5s3WY/видео.html
Hey Really Nice Video, And The Editing Is Amazing!
Thank you, much appreciated :)
hey man, i just want to ask a question:
On one of my other accounts, I do post edits of other things like shows or whatever, but if i still kept that up, while deleting a few and changing my profile picture, to just leave behind a bunch of decently high-quality edits, and I still emailed them under the name that I use (I prefer to stay largely anonymous) would that be effective? I am willing to give up a bunch of things, but I genuinely don't want to give up the edits that I actually enjoy doing, and my anonymity, so thanks in advance
Yes that would work well, you should keep the edits your passionate about on your profile if you want to!
alright then thank you very much for your reply, will try some of this stuff in the future@@sampdbiz
Hey bro thank you so much because i got an idea for youtuber and if i get paid for sure ill buy a subscription of your channel
Glad to hear it man, best of luck with your journey!
@@sampdbiz thank you ♥️
1000th subscriber🙋
Thank you bro! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Pls what will you say between smartphone Video Editing and those using adobe apps/Pc
Honestly, I wouldn’t bother trying to edit on a smartphone
Can u help me I can I get and find client
I've got lots of free value on my channel to help you bro!
Yes I want clients
How can u help me....
Where can I add an edited sample video in email?
Just use Google Drive bro! Attach your video to the email and it will upload to Google Drive automatically.
@@sampdbiz Thanks Sam 🙏
how do you get the raw footage of the video of the creator
It’s just a case of finding it. It could be a podcast, old video, new video, video from their website or social media pages etc. You only need 30 seconds + so most creators have that somewhere!
I get paid $28 per reel (very simple not complicated) and I dont know if that is low or high bro what do you think?
It's not awful, if they're simple to do and you could do 2-3 per hour then your hourly rate is quite good. But then add on time dealing with the client etc and it could get lower. All in all I think you could find clients to pay you more or raise that price more.
How can i get clients for short form editing
5:12 wouldn't this look unprofessional to the visitors on your profile
Good point, perhaps it could - or maybe it'd make you seem dedicated and driven. If you're worried about it, you could post a few other posts inbetween to make sure your posts aren't all outreach!
@sampdbiz btw i need your help currently i am not using any domain, i was cold emailing at least 10 people a day and now i can't mail anyone it is saying mail blocked (message rejected) is this something i should worry about?
Yes you should worry if your emails are getting blocked lol. Email from a new domain/email.
@@sampdbiz huh😬 what should I do to fix it?
I told you above
Hi bro how long should your sample video be ?
30 seconds to 3 minutes ish! Enough to show your skills :)
Great video! I’ll come back once I become free lance !
Thank you! Best of luck with everything bro.
❤thank u
No problem! :)
Hi Sam! I can't download your Free Cheat Sheet. Something is broken with the email. Nice video!
Fixing it now, thanks for letting me know!
how to charge for long form video some time it is 5min 10 min 12 min 20 min please answer this
Hey bro, I'm dropping a video on this tomorrow! :) It will help you
buddy nowadays a middlemen is getting very common between client and an editor , i am new in freelancing so should i work for someone like this? but my gut says i should approach directly to the client through emails and DMs like you said.
Try both and see what works, but I’d personally rather work directly with the creator rather than through an agency.
Nah, basically scamming someone is going to 100% ruin you're career, it's more damaging for the creator to lose everything they have in social media than to pay you a couple bucks
Thank so much I didn't have any idea of this but from now on I know exactly what to do.
Glad to hear it bro!
beginner can i becomea freelance video editor in 3month ? after 3month atleast earn small money possible?pls replay
Yes in less than 3 months if you are smart
what editing app do you use
I use Premiere Pro
Per video or per month is the best 👍🏾
For sure!
Damnnnn 🔥🔥🔥 the way u explained each an everything was so fine .. u r an inspiration ❤ Im a fresher recently done my video editing course and going to follow u let’s hope for the best🤧💗
Thanks for watching, best of luck on your journey! :)
dude i tried it. made 5 video uploaded on twitter , no view , no followers , no clients i guess i have bad luck :)
Let me take a look, what is your Twitter @?
@@sampdbiz @rohanpal624247
@@sampdbiz @rohanpal624247
Your videos are well edited, you just need to use X as a networking tool as you're starting out. You can't just create an account, start posting and hope your audience finds you. You have to get the ball rolling. Start engaging with people in the niche (editors and RUclipsrs) in a meaningful way and they will support your posts and push them out to more people. Do 10 mins of engaging/networking on X for 2 weeks and continue posting and you'll have big results.
You can post the beat content in the world but as your account is very small, X algorithm doesn't know who to show it to. So do the above to gain momentum quickly.
Got it bro?
hey sam do you know anyone who is looking for jobs right now in you're space i'm currently looking for a video editor for a person i know
Hi there, you can join my free community linked in the description, there'll be tons of editors there for you :)
ok cool just requested access @@sampdbiz
Great 👍 video
Thank you!
Great video
Thank you!
Nice Video Man, Please create a Video on how much should we charge as a Video Editor? and how much do you Charge?
Thank you, and no problem - I will do.
would the clients be bothered about me downloading their videos?
No not at all really, you're using it for a genuine purpose to add value to them! People rip off their videos and re-upload them to TikTok for profit and 9 times out of 10 they don't even care about that.
@@sampdbiz Thank you! Haven't found any raw unedited footage yet. Will keep looking.👍🏼
Hey great vidéo i just wanted to know how to get a few hundreds followers on Twitter ??
Great question! Treat it at networking: Find people in your community (RUclipsrs or editors) and impactfully engage with them. Don't spam, but like multiple posts, leave comments, follow them, DM them - build relationships with people in the community and they will support your posts as you're starting out and push it to a wider audience!
@sampdbiz ok but if i post something now (i have 2 followers) do you think People that dont follow me Will see it
Thank you for your help !
No problem! And It's unlikely with that little followers. Doing what I mentioned above forces X to show your posts to the right people, if you post without doing what I mention above, you are posting to no one!
@@sampdbiz ok thanks a lot for your help man right now i am doing the real world by Andrew tate after it i Will probably by your course to Master m'y editing skills you are Killing it great work !!
Nice one, glad to hear and thank you - I look forward to speaking more with you inside Editors Academy!
I NEED CLIENTS.
I am a beginner thumbnail designer but I have confidence in my thumbnail designing skills. I'll charge VERY LESS.
Finding thumbnail clients is the same concept as finding video editing clients, but you won't find clients here in the comments. I just dropped a video a few moments ago on how to find clients in 2025: ruclips.net/video/rf_F90rXIz4/видео.html
Bro I am just 16 years old Indian
How to geg clients??
No one wants to give job to 16 year old in India 😢
First of all stop with the crying emojis.
You can get clients the way I explain in this video, there's lots of young Indian editors doing really well - thousands of dollars a month. You just have to put yourself out there and become a talented editor.
@sampdbiz OK sir
No emoji from now on ..
Thanks
@sampdbiz hello sir
Can u tell where to learn advanced level of editing. I know how to edit but edits are nothing compared to others .
So If you see this message pls tell..

Best of luck bro!
I work really hard and tried every freelancing websites and talked to hunderds of content creators and post my work on my social media platforms. But I never get a respond. I feel like my messages and proposals are vanishing and Iam not getting any views on my videos. I might have to give up and continue to live my poor life.
Why don’t you try the method I spoke about in the video bro?
@@sampdbiz I just saw the video. I feel like nothing will work for me. I haven't slept well in the past few weaks and haven't talked to anyone. I was just focusing on having just 1 client but nothing worked.
Try the outreach method in the video. You have likely been sprinting in the wrong direction. Try a direction that's been proven time and time again to be right. You might be surprised at the outcome. Don't give up bro.
@@sampdbiz Thanks for the motivation bro. I will try it.
@@wouldyourthereuSup, how did it go?
Thanks for the awsome video man. really appreciate it. i had a question like if i make fresh twitter account , have 0 follower and less following too. will my tweet(video) still get any reach and will be shown to new people? or will i have to build audience and followers first. please do reply brother. love from India.❤
It's best to have a few posts already so people have a reason to follow, but if you engage (like, comment, follow) with the community, you will build a small audience to push your posts!

I am only 14. Do you have any different ways because these isn't working for me. It sounds good but Not practical for me. I am really skilled just not getting clients.
Hey man, how come it’s not practical for you?
Thanks a lot for the video man 🙏 but i’m struggling finding clients for short form content editing even tho i’m a hard worker , whenever i try to find a client they just want to pay 5$ for 10 shorts which is ridicules and it takes me 2-3 hours to edit one short whenever i tell them 20$ per short they don’t like the price
There's a lot more money in longform if you're willing to make the switch. Realistically you'd get paid better for the time and effort you're putting in. With regards to pricing, I'd just say offer a free sample upfront but make sure those that you're giving your free sample out to would be in the position to want a shortform editor. Think entrepreneurs, businesses etc.
Best of luck on your journey bro!
