How I Price for Short-Form Content

  • I wanted to offer a little perspective on pricing. I show you the price range of short clips I do and offer a story that changed my mindset as a freelance editor. I don't know who needs to hear this video, but I hope it gives you confidence and makes you think a little harder when listening and speaking to clients. Instead of thinking in edits maybe think in problem solving. Leave me a comment of your thoughts down below!

    I believe my editing is good, and I can guarantee that my editing is cheaper than the most editor in freelancing platforms, but when I ask for more $ they disrespect me,.

      @@saturns_ring For me it's being open to more perspectives when it comes to creating UA-cam videos for other people, I've been stuck in my own UA-cam bubble for more than a decade. After a month of working with an Upwork client editing shorts/vlogs for him, I realized that I'm actually fast when it comes to editing videos, so I'm using that to my advantage to escape the "9 to 5" mentality. Now I only work at around 4 to 6 hours a day. I don't need to be pressured by the hour because I also don't want to drain the client's cashflow if you know what I mean.
      This short from Chris Do (The Futur) sums it up well (replace 'logo' with 'video'): ua-cam.com/users/shortswIZxMlhIB5o
      As for this re-brand, I want to challenge the algorithm and see if it can organize my videos into its proper categories. That's why when you visit my channel, you'll see different playlists for each category of content that I make (games, music, tech, voice overs) because I don't want to create separate channels for each since I'm only a one man production team. 😂

    Great video. So now you just have to make another video on how you deal with these clients on a legal level. Like do you ask for the money upfront before you even begin to edit ? do you guys have some sort of contract in place ? How do you prevent a client from stealing a video if it worked out and didn't pay if you don't get paid first. Then after that video, we need more "how to edit like" videos, cause this space is VERY small with hardly anybody doing that. So we up and coming editors need these things for inspiration

    • @saturns_ring
      @saturns_ring  Рік тому +1

      Man I appreciate this comment! This may be a walkthrough or entire series honestly. I've done a lot of options to answer your first question. To tie it to your second question, yes. You need a contract between your client and yourself. In that contract and in your conversations before you do business, I've asked money upfront 100% or 50% on signing and the other 50% on delivery. If it's just me completing work SOMETIMES I'm comfortable asking for payment once I deliver the product (usually a longtime client because I know they will pay). Now, if I have people that I'm hiring to complete a job I ALWAYS either ask 50% upfront or 100% upfront because I instruct my client that I have to pay my editors or freelancers first so we can get the work going.
      Your third question, you've got to use a bit of intuition on who you are dealing with. Some easy signs are if people are trying to beat you down on price immediately and trying to delay payment or even suggesting a trial period for free. Easiest way to avoid this is putting giant watermarks on your work.
      Your forth suggestion is definitely in the works!

I've just been looking for more "how to edit like" content to get inspired for what I can take to incorporate ideas into future videos.

    I guess the reason why some video editors are charging low prices is that they are not too confident in the field yet and are scared that the outcome might not be what the client is expecting (This is for those who are in basic editing (not too many visual effects or any kind that some editors can do in any editing software) but trying to venture on freelance video editing). What can you say about this for those video editors that are starting but have only basic knowledge? How much should they charge? How they could start and compete with others? And also, can you start this business using only capcut?

    My rule of thumb: Never discount or lower your price just to get that client.
    don't settle for less, There are several client's that wants to work with me without a decent budget, and I turned them down, Until I finally got the high paying client.
    If I accept that low budget client maybe I didn't find my high paying client.

      Charge what you're comfortable with! If you're finding the clips for them that's an upcharge you should account for. And keep track of the results your clips are getting. Be consistent and communicative with your client, most editors are terrible at fulfillment and communication.
      If you're looking to talk about raising your prices, ask them how your services have been and what you can improve. Leverage the results you've got them and go from there. They will not give you a pay raise on their time, that's up to you to want more for yourself.

      Make sure you have client editing experience in the first place, if you don’t have it get some there’s nothing like actually knowing what you’re telling other people to do, and this way you know how to actually help your editors (this goes for any agency in any industry).
      As far as directly for your question, make genuine connections with people, I’ve caught deals with people and developed by now long term business relationships and also personally getting to know them all off of genuinely building connections with people. You gotta realize one person is a network of people in that industry in itself. You want people to recommend you because of how great you are at their own volition, and just be real at the end of the day with ppl, they appreciate transparency.
      P.S. never lie about being an agency I’ve seen so many people get caught up over that.

    • @saturns_ring
      @saturns_ring  Рік тому

      The only experience I've had is tracking conversions through Google Ads. Other than that it's trust and if they are willing to share their reports. I'm sure there is software out there but I'd have to do further research on that. And I've only done a handful of deals where we are tracking sales. Each of those were for 6 months and for 3 months.

      Truthfully, I wouldn't make an effective framework because the agency model doesn't fit with my personality. I took a very painful path to find that out. I'd like to prevent that for some people if I can. I have the skills but I personally prefer a content creator/personal brand model in my season of life. I'd look around on UA-cam or talk to some folks in our Discord (link in description) if you're serious about it.
      All that said, I believe I'm going to make a video or series on the framework that works for me which is tailored to a solopreneur/creator/personal brand. I'll continue to speak on my agency experience as a business owner but it wouldn't be truthful or as effective for me to make a framework around it. That may change, but I can say that with confidence right now. I'm jaded on the subject because my first go lasted a few years too long and was incredibly painful.
      Now, I'm going to continue to talk about things that worked for me. The things you mentioned like not wanting you show your face and voice when talking with clients is something I have close to ZERO experience with. I personally, I'm not equipped to solve that problem right now. I've started conversations in DM's but those usually lead to a phone call or virtual call because I've gained that skill through business and its a natural part of my personality. Your second problem, I will be releasing more practice footage in our next video, it's a win-win for me and the audience but a lot of folks in the industry just screen capture podcast clips of other creators and make them into edits for their portfolio.
      I'd recommend checking out the resources I've put in the description as well. Those perspective might give you an idea or at least some framework on what YOU could do. I appreciate you tuning in!

    Hey man. I’m editing for these youtubers. I’m in college and I’m in heavy need for money. I went into editing thinking I would charge $5 per video. However, when we discussed payment, after I was already making multiple videos for them, they said they could only pay $1.50 CAD (I live in the USA so that’s 80 cents) per video. I couldn’t reject it because I had no other clients. I am still editing for them. What do I do? How do I just quit on them? They are just starting and I don’t want to hold their youtube career back by leaving suddenly. They are college students as well and set a daily budget of $26 CAD.

      Open up the conversation, it sounds like one needs to be had. Given this was a month ago, I'm curious where you are now.
      With these price points they are better off doing AI, rather than hiring you as an editor. That's not fair to you, they might not even get that price using AI tools! It's a good opportunity to start advocating yourself around something your good at and needing to charge for. You've got bills to pay and need to eat.

    • @careca_3201
      @careca_3201 5 місяців тому

      @@saturns_ring Yeah, man, I agree with you. What happened after I sent a message to begin talking about possibly raising my pay and they decided it would be fair to raise it by 50 cents CAD (nothing in USD) was that I told them that I unfortunately couldn’t keep working for them. I’m in college and any money helps, but I was so burnt out from all of the editing for ridiculously small earnings that I almost broke my monitor once when accidentally deleting a subtitle, which seems ridiculous, but any tiny mistake I made was piled onto the stress from my situation. I am currently without any clients and struggling to find one, but I continued to work my part time job and just waiting for a client to come up. I said goodbye to them nicely and left an open window for the future, in case they ever need me in the future and have a better offer.

      Depends, Discord communities have been underrated in finding some talented editors. We have a server that is linked in the description, if you want to ask around. Upwork and Fiverr are okay but if you're looking for a solid editor, have a good amount of content ready to go and know that you're in it for the long haul.

    • @saturns_ring
      @saturns_ring  Рік тому +1

      In this scenario there was a lot of trust involved. I've worked with him in the past and we already had a good relationship going with our previous work. We did however have data in what numbers the email blast was doing. We specifically made a email through MailChimp to get some basic analytics. In hindsight, I could've done more to track the actual conversion on who bought but I only had the number of who clicked through to purchase his program.
      The follow-through, I've been a little lucky. I've failed a few times with this approach for a number of reasons but in the contracts I prepared I made sure my client was going to win regardless. For me, I'm comfortable with the risk and betting my strategy will work. It's my job as a problem solver in business to ask enough questions, have the skill and willingness to execute the strategy and ask for virtually any price I want so as I long as the strategy works.
      The follow up, so far my busiest seasons are from March-November. I'm banking on my online personal brand to make up for the other months. I've been putting more time into digital products. I've done enough work where my name gets passed around so I have primarily a referral based business. I hope some of that answers your question. Thank you for tuning in!

      All of the clients I currently have are all local and I have been in business with for a few years.
      There is a lot of different ways to get clients. You might need to try a lot of things to find what works for you. Since we've started online, I wish I would've started a personal brand sooner so I try to coach others on doing so because your digital foot-print is more important than ever and provides A LOT of flexibility if it's all online.
