*********************** April 10, 2023 – Pause applying to this and save your apply points. I’ve hired 1 person today and I have others that I am still going through to hire a 2nd person. Don’t apply unless you’re super super good at video editing and willing to work full time at the estimated posted pay range. There are some great candidates for the 2nd position that I want to interview and its goin to be hard to catch my attention against them unless you’re phenomenal and stand out. I already see 2 other applicants that I’m feeling good about but have to interview them.
Job Description Below
I need a full time video editor who is willing to work full time hours. I need someone who is good at YouTube videos (full length), but who also can do social media videos when needed (tik tok, youtube shorts, instagram reels). You must also be good at placing music on certain videos, sound effects as needed, etc. I run more than 1 YouTube channel, including a meditation channel. Currently I am looking to hire 2 people. Once you have demonstrated loyalty and good work ethic for some time, I do like to do pay increases in time.. I need someone who also is self-reliable. I don’t like to micro manage. I want someone that I can trust will take care of the job without me having to check on them everyday. Someone who will pay attention to details and enjoy what they do. In return, I am providing financial freedom by offering this employment. Oftentimes, the people who work for me, we don’t always talk everyday. They know the job that needs to be done and it gets taken care of.
I want to explain more about the video editing work I need.
I would like someone who is capable of doing both long form videos and short form, however, my plans is to hire 2 people, one to focus on long and one to focus on short, but I want them both to know how to do both, in case one person gets sick, or i have to replace someone after the trial period if we’re not a good fit. I do believe in salary increases in time after we’ve had some time to work together a while.
For long videos, I need someone who can add special effects and changes between scenes as needed to keep viewers interested. Here are some of my channels just to give you an idea
I prefer to just record content, upload and keep going about my day. You would have to know how to look in the folder for content and create videos from what’s there. Sometimes I may have a theme and sometimes you will have to use your imagination. You will learn what I like as you go, but I want you to be a risk taker sometimes too because i may like something new that i’m not aware of. My videos can be better organized with section dividers from the long ones.
/steveryanonline – My main channel, primarily music, poetry and motivation with some behind the scenes footage of when i travel and things. Long form content from this can be created from a combination of different things i do. This channel will be my primary focus
/meditationrest – This channel is for meditation videos and music. Some of the music will be my music and some of the music will be music that i have the license to use. You must know how to make the music into a longer video. I’ve done this video editing myself by simply cutting the music in the right place and then copying it over and over until it because a longer video. Meditation music can be repetitive but i try not to make it obvious that its a loop. This channel is also a primary focus as i’m trying to increase the monetization value of it
/theabundantlion – This is a motivational channel. I have not put out more content recently due to time constraints but eventually would like to put out more motivational content on this channel
/firedupfreedom – This is my podcast channel. Podcasts videos are usually pretty straight forward and usually don’t need a whole lot of editing but i’m open to any ideas for future ones to make them pop
/freedomcoinclub – This channel won’t have much content. This is for the freedom rewards for my community, i give them freedom coin. Videos on here would just be educational
For short videos, I need someone who can put different clips together to make interesting content for tik tok, instagram reels, youtube shorts, pinterest. Some of my content you may have to find things to go with it to make it an interesting clip. Or we may have to discuss things for me to record.
I’m not really the type of person that like to do a lot of meetings. If we have to meet initially that’s fine and maybe at the beginning for you to learn what i need. But ultimately, you will be self sufficient and I will have to trust that you’re doing the job.
Keep in mind, I know how to video edit, I just don’t have the time to do it myself. So I’m aware of how long it takes to do things.
Outside of all this, I want you to relax, have fun, enjoy what you do and see this more as an adventure instead of a job. I am looking for someone long term. 40 hours per week is a goal, but if you’re able to get what I need done fast and efficient, I’m not going to count your hours and require you to check in. I just want you to work and get things done that’s needed and manage your schedule accordingly. I just want results, that’s the bottom line.
I’m very easy to work with as long as you’re doing your job without me having to micro manage and check on you.
I’m laying everything out so that you are aware of what you’re getting into. If you would like to proceed further, then reply to this and we can start to discuss salary.
By the way, my main website is and there’s links on there to my other sites as well.
I need someone who can dedicate 30 to 40 hours per week to this. If you’re under that amount, please don’t apply.
I need specifically video editing skills, someone who already knows what the are doing for this one. Thanks.
