One of reason a creator’s views start dropping is predictability.

When people can guess the hook, structure, message and ending before the video is halfway through, there’s no curiosity left.

If your audience knows exactly what you’ll say next, it’s time to change your content.

[Usman ☘️ @usmanfilms]

A video editor can’t generate more views.
Anyone promising that is just lying to get the client.

A strategist can get you views.

There is no such thing as YT automation.
You simply have a YT channel. Whether it’s faceless or you’re on camera doesn’t matter.
Don’t let these so called gurus fool you into thinking it’s some secret automated business model. It’s still content creation, and it takes real work.

@editorartem Yes 🙌🏻

Don’t learn and then do.

Do, and learn what you need to learn along the way.

X is a shithole filled with scammers, fake jobs, and people saying anything for engagement.
LinkedIn is 1000x better if you’re actually looking for real opportunities and professional connections.

X just makes bullshit go viral.

[Dan Ellison @danellisona]

X is 100x better than LinkedIn

So why do 1.3 billion people use LinkedIn?

[Usman ☘️ @usmanfilms]

Creators find a better way to ask for likes and follows.
Like follow and subscribe is so overused that people barely notice it anymore.
Or just don’t say it People aren’t stupid. They know who they want to follow and subscribe.
Your content should earn the follow, not beg for it.

95% of the “video editor hiring” posts on Twitter are straight up fake just posted to farm engagement and boost accounts.

This is exactly how this market became shit. Broke ass people chasing attention are wasting the time of freelancers who are actually trying to make a living.

Everything becomes a rat race when more people start doing it.

@_BarnyO Goodbye, Usman. Take care.

@bilalbukhari84 This comment section is the best case study for why nobody takes editors seriously anymore.

[Usman ☘️ @usmanfilms]

They said video editing isn't a real career.
Now they watch me make their entire monthly salary in just one year.

Anyway, back to Resolve. 😭🎬

Editing became easy when you stop editing for yourself and start editing for the viewer.
Clarity beats creativity. Always.

The sun is burning not shining. Being alone doesn’t always mean peace, sometimes it means enduring everything by yourself.

Premier or DaVinci won’t make you a better editor.
Taste will.
