How I structure my video editing packages to earn more per client š°
Most editors charge per video. I charge per outcome. Big difference.
My current packages:
ā Quick Turnaround (24h): Reels & TikToks for content creators ā premium for speed
ā Brand Package: Monthly retainer for consistent social content ā stability + higher value
ā YouTube Production: Full edit + thumbnail + captions ā one-stop service, higher ticket
Keys to maximizing earnings as an editor:
Retainers > one-off projects (predictable income)
Package your services (not just hourly or per-video)
Specialize in ONE niche so you become the go-to person
Upsell: captions, thumbnails, repurposing = extra revenue per client
I went from charging per clip to having clients on monthly contracts. Game changer.

The second video showcases the creative process, including editing, effects, and how the story was built step by step using CapCut tools.
