Im a sports videographer/editor who works mainly with high schoolers I try to keep the fact that they are young and broke in mind… any advice? I’m currently charging around $75 for highlight videos that are less than 60sec long Is that too much or too little money? Comment from : lrvmov

Thank you Comment from : Joshvisual

Have to say I whole heartedly disagree with every point in this video Never written a contract, charge a lump sum every time and that works perfectly for me Don't have rounds and rounds of revisions, I get paid up front, don't mess around with contracts and never had problems Comment from : ryancollinsvideo

So, I'm starting to edit for my friend and once I start charging which will be the next video, should I receive the money first than start to edit the video and if the person doesn't like the edit, I can either change it or refund? Comment from : UpstateRemy

i know it's been two years but what is your opinion on sample editing? i applied ( through twitter cause they tweeted needing a video editor ) to a company and they asked me to edit a video that would've been practically good to go to post when i was done BUT they wanted it to be considered as a sampling to see if i can edit in their style, i said no and they told me that no company will hire me without me doing one free video for them as a sample work was it wrong for me to reject the video? should i be doing sample editing? Comment from : SENPXL

- What do you recommend I should be posting on my social media accounts which is Instagram, Facebook and YouTube after building my brand as a freelance video editor without any previous works to keep users engaged🤥? Comment from : official SATISFYING VIDS

Good tips 2 things I'd mention: 1 The cheaper the client, the more of a PITA they will be Guaranteed Someone who knows and wants quality is willing to pay for it People who don't know vidoe think it's just a matter of pushing a couple of buttons They have no clue why it costs so much so they're not willing to pay for it and/or they will expect more and more and more 2 The only "friends" to do business with are people who were clients FIRST Friends and family will expect you to give them a "family" rate Even if they don't outright say so, they will think it Doing business with someone you knew before you went into business is the best way to lose that relationship Comment from : Resolving Boris

I'm potentially looking for a video editor that can match or improve my editing style at a minimum but its extremely hard to filter on fiverr or upwork Please Help! Comment from : Domier The Dragon

how much should you ask for? Comment from : Mari

Another great and helpful vid!brbr"A contract is for when things go wrong" true and the first goal then should be to stay out of court, and/or protect the friendship from permanent damage A good contract is one that both parties can look at later and (hopefully) say "okay THIS is what we agreed tohow do we get back to that and wrap this up?"brAnother tool in setting rates is to "play customer" and see what other editors in your area are charging for similar work brIf you give a discount to friends or anyone, write the bill up at your full rate and then show the discount taken out This avoids getting locked in to a discounted rate with them and helps remind them that you don't usually work this cheap brbrHow much of an upcharge should there be for rush work?

25 minutes to 18 minutes footage how much should i charge Comment from : Joseph Kusu

Don't undercharge yourselfthink of every single thingand mark it up x5An example: your client wants you to edit a project and you have to download clips to your harddrive which eats up 500gb Then either the client must purchase an external HD or you can do it for them for a fee If you have to store it then tack on an extra $500 to $1000 per month Seriously, just like storage facilities, they store you items and charge, except video is way more valuable Once that moment is gone its gone forever, not like clothes or furniture which can be acquired again Artist /Creatives lets not let people get over on us Remember God is a creator! Comment from : KasaiFilms
