To any editors that follow me, the last part has never been more true:

“Being competent/acting like a real human automatically puts you in the top 1%”

[phed @PhedEU]

If you are an editor and not making minimum $10K/month right now it's probably a skill issue

You guys are a MUCH needed resource right now. Even with AI

I post a hiring tweet and was looking to hire someone within an hour and prepay for like 30 videos

You bombarded me with nonsense ChatGPT messages "I can create captivating content to keep your audience engaged"

The "better" DMs had portfolio links, but 99% of them were just shorts with captions on top of a talking head video (takes 45 seconds to edit)

The bar has never been lower. Being competent/acting like a real human automatically puts you in the top 1%

If your video structure is good then it’ll be packaging and ideas. I had a look at your channel and some titles are vague and could improve on hooking people into them. But also you have to think of the market for viewers, for example the average video about TanStack gets about 10-30k with few breaking out above that. Other than all of that it’s just making good content consistently

@chuckyfkncheese Knew you’d agree

[benjamin @benjaminmcnaney]

I think some people are missing his point here but he’s right, I see a lot of people over analysing stats and spending hours inside YouTube Studio when in reality the sample size is too low for any significant realisations

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

Buddy you’re getting under 4k views. Those numbers aren’t statistically significant.

Another week, another 1/10, another 100k banger

@tvnxty Doing my best 🙌

[benjamin @benjaminmcnaney]

My client went from 15k to 72k subscribers in 5 months.

He called it "the best editing hire I've ever made."

He's now one of the top voices in his niche with videos gettin upwards of 100k views and plenty of conversion to his Skool community

I have 1 spot left for Q1.

@tvnxty @noscroll @mikididthis the goat

[benjamin @benjaminmcnaney]

@BadisDesigns I think part of it comes from people using gen AI and not disclosing it, then pretending they had done it themselves, so now some people have that negative perception where if you use AI you have zero skill, there’s also many other factors that come into it but thats my thought
