who edits my videos so got a great
question for one of my loyal YouTube
viewers love you guys Leonardo who wrote
in to say what’s up Evan who edits your
videos what’s up leo if you want to know
what’s up you could check up my what’s
up video and in terms of who edits my
videos I want to tell you a quick story
that I hope will help see I’m a big
believer in not spending money till I’m
making money those are you loyal YouTube
viewers you’ll know what I’m talking
about it’s a message I repeat a lot of
my videos when I started my youtube
channel I wanted to have a place to have
a greater impact and help people in a
visual way but I wasn’t making any money
at it so I didn’t want to spend anything
i didn’t spend on editing it didn’t
spend on gear i didn’t spend it on
anything but I was willing to invest my
time in my hustle so stage one for me
was actually partnering up a buddy of
mine named Mark jigger runs a video
production company called phantom media
he’s been on the channel a few times
I’ve interviewed him and we started
together where I would be on camera and
he would film it and edit it and produce
it and then I would publish it to the
channel he did it because I guess he
wanted to be a friend to me and he also
saw a promotional angle to get some
exposure for his business but after a
while it got to be too taxing for Mark
and his team to handle I was making too
many videos and he wasn’t I guess seen
enough of return to continue on with me
I still wasn’t making enough money to
justify hiring editor so my stage 2 was
I did it myself now is by no means a
video editor I had no skills no training
didn’t know what I was doing I started
by using windows movie maker and a lot
of the early videos on my channel army
editing my windows movie maker videos as
I needed more features and I learned a
little bit more about video editing
software I picked up Camtasia and
started using that as my default editor
but I was still doing all the work
myself as I built up my audience and I
started getting a little bit of traction
with the channel a big company in the
telecommunication space said they wanted
to work with me on a video they gave me
a little bit of a budget to play with
and now that I was making some money for
my channel I could afford to invest it
back into the channel so one of the
first things I did was put out a job on
odesk
and I hired my first video editor sad
and sad was great and reliable and I
would upload the videos to him on
dropbox he would send them back to me
and i would put them up on my channel
and then one day say odd poof
disappeared and now suddenly i was stuck
having it edit all these videos myself
and it really sucks as an entrepreneur
when you hire somebody and you finally
give away those responsibilities that
you don’t want to have any more yourself
and then you have to take them back on
you really really really don’t want to
do them saad went from being super
reliable to not respond to any email for
two weeks so i said enough is enough I
have to go find somebody new to helping
out at these videos because I can’t keep
doing this myself and that’s where I
found Christina Christina say hi and
Christina’s been doing a fantastic job
for me she’s been editing all the videos
she’s been posting them to YouTube she’s
been added in the title in the
description and saved a lot of my time
so that I can spend more of my time
being in front of the camera instead of
being in front of the computer editing
them now I later found out that sod
actually got kidnapped and he was out
for two months and held for ransom and I
guess that was something that was
relatively normal in his country but by
the time he came back I had Christina
who was doing an amazing job and who I
wanted to keep on board on my team so
those are my three steps i started with
alliance partners then i started doing
it myself and then as I started making
money for my channel I was able to go
out and hire somebody to help me do it I
hope that answers your question Leonardo
believe those are you watching I would
love for you to tell me who your first
hire was what the role was I don’t care
about their name but what was their role
what what job function that they have in
your business or if you’re thinking
about hiring somebody who’s the first
person that you want to hire for your
business it takes some stuff off your
plate leave in the comments below I’m
really curious to see what you guys are
thinking and of course if you like this
