$9 that was what I was charging per video when I started out as a freelance video editor today I have closed deals for $3,000 to $4,000 and I'm charging 50 to 100 times what I was charging before per video this definitely wasn't an easy transition it took me 1 and a half years to figure out how I can get high paying clients like this lot has changed since I started I transitioned from a freelancer to a Content agency owner I Incorporated many other services into my affer not just video editing higher team members and I
Outsource editing completely so if you're currently a video and you're looking to scale your business get high paying Clans and transition from a freelancer to an actual business owner then here's my full guide on what I would do if I had to start over this took me years to learn but I hope you can implement it and get results in just a couple of months step one offer creating a valuable offer is by far the most important thing that you have to do if you want to get high ticket clients the bigger the problem that
you solve with your service the more money you can charge for it so you have to forget about vid editing there aren't many people in the world who can charge more than $1,000 per month just for Vi editing so what you need to do is you need to find a valuable problem that you can solve with your current skill set like this can be video editing or any other skill that you currently possess and make your offer so that it solves that problem start by listing out your skills like for example long form video editing
short form video editing copyrighting content strategy Etc then try to come up with problems that first of all cost a lot of money for business owners and that you can solve with your skill set examples for that are not knowing how to grow an Instagram not being able to get clients from content not having enough time to create YouTube videos Etc after that create an offer that solved the most valuable problem that you could come up with for 90% of the editors this will be getting more clients for businesses or business owners with content obviously
you need to specify this more depending on what service you will offer a couple of examples are I have coaches get clients with Instagram I help agencies get clients on autopilot with YouTube videos Etc you want to find the skills that you're best at find a way to make businesses more money with those skills and then package it into an appealing offer step two is getting clients probably don't have any previous case studies where you help someone make more money with your service that's totally fine you can still get started without it if you have
case studies where you helped your previous clients grow their followings you can use those to start out they are better than nothing but ultimately the way you will be able to get your first couple of high paying clients with that new offer is freeor you definitely shouldn't be afraid to do free work at the start it's absolutely the fastest and easiest way to scan your business especially when you just start out and you don't really have any case studies I still work for free today even though I'm at like $5 to $7,000 per month so
how I would recommend you to do it is to First make a list of 100 dream clients that you would like to work for they should be in need of your service and also have a lot of money and then reach out to them with free work after that you just follow up with them until they reply I make YouTube videos for my clients so what I do is I reach out to my dream clients with a free video script I take the time to script out a banger video for them and I send it
to them on every platform that I can contact them if they don't reply I follow up with them until they do moreover I offer them to edit the video for free after they record it if they like your work it will be super easy to sign them as paying clients and if you offer short form you can just send them a free edited short I hope you can see why this method is so effective reach out to three to five people like this a day and I have no doubt in my mind that you will
be able to sign your first high paying client in less than a month it will require hard work but that's what it takes to sign clients for more than $1,000 per month step three fulfillment now that you got your first client you want to actually make sure that you will be able to deliver the service your should be to overd deliver massively to your first couple of clients so you can get really good case studies or testimonials and scale faster what I found is that getting good results will depend a lot on what type of
clients you work with it will be much easier to get better results for someone who already has an established business so like appr proven offer case studies Etc and also has an audience on other platforms and it would be much harder to get good results for someone who just started their business and has zero following that's why you should make sure to Target the right people with your Outreach but after you sign your first client the best thing you can do is obsess over getting them results put 150% effort into editing their videos communicating with
them giving them advice Etc until you have less than three clients you don't really need to think about Building Systems to make the Fulfillment process easier you should only focus on getting your current clients excellent results and getting more clients in terms of software to use I use Google Drive to manage all the files I use WhatsApp for communication and I use tro for managing all the videos in house but you can literally use any any alternatives for this so following these steps you can really easily go from low paying to high paying clients you
just have to put in the work it's first all about having the skills necessary to provide a valuable service and then packaging it effectively if you're looking to scale your business as a VI editor transition into an agency and get high paying clients then make sure you click the first link in the description and join my newsletter where I write week CL as about exactly that so click the first link in the description and join keep it up
