Finding clients is the hardest part of being a video editor, no matter how good your editing is. In this video, I’m sharing exactly how I find video editing clients, based on my own experience. I tested 4 platforms (Threads, Fiverr/Upwork, LinkedIn, and YouTube/Instagram), ranked them from best to worst, and showed my exact outreach process, including the DM template I use. In this video: Intro: why finding clients is so hard Reality check: what nobody tells you #1 Threads: my exact DM process #2 Fiverr & Upwork #3 LinkedIn #4 YouTube & Instagram Final ranking & next steps The DM template I use: “Hi, I’m a professional video editor. I watched your content and you’re doing great work. I can help make your videos more engaging. Here’s my portfolio so you can see my work.” Quick takeaways: Send consistent outreach every day (I message 30+ people daily) A strong portfolio is what actually closes the deal Use YouTube and Instagram for personal branding, not direct client hunting Which platform are you trying first?
