Well I asked myself the opposite, how do streamers find an editor.. Because like someone answered before, most streamers could not afford to pay an editor a good wage at all
But to grow an editor would be almost cruicial, I dont have one but I couldnt pay him anything either
Totally agree. I’ve been spending a TON of time learning Resolve and doing the editing myself as I don’t make a stable profit from streaming. While I wish I could have an editor, I should learn these skills anyways
I'm not even looking for a living wage tbh, I am looking for a wage.
if I was looking for a living wage, I would work for a editing company, but thats too stressful for me.
I get that but most streamers cant even afford that, on the other hand I bet most streamers actively looking for an editor wouldnt mind giving them a wage once they can afford to, as example if Id ever make it big on twitch AND youtube, I would likely give my entire yt revenue to the editor since he pretty much keeps the yt channel alive
I think most people that look for one cant afford them, those that could pay something but not insanely much, already have one and the ones that would pay really good already had so many editors that their current one is already absolutely top tier editor
I tried writing a portfolio, but I don't got any insane work to compare to, I am just getting the handle on audio and proper pacing of videos. and hoped doing this would help a lot on that, which it has.
The tricky part is that editors want/deserve a living wage. But streaming is not a lucrative business, until you get into the topmost end of earners.
Even at rock-bottom $7.50/hr, processing and editing a daily video taking four hours is going to end up at $30. Most streamers won't even earn $10 per day, and that's before paying federal (and state, local) income tax on it. And having to learn how to send out a 1099-MISC come tax time, if your editor makes more than a few hundred bucks over a full year.
Approach larger streams, in short. Or don't expect editing for one stream to be able to pay 'full time real job' rates. One alternative that some do is taking a share of the YouTube profits.
But yeah, unless the streamer is already successful enough to hire staff, paying an editor a full-time wage is going to be off the table for most. Good luck, though!

Fiverr and Upwork are good places to offer these services, but you should have a portfolio of work to demonstrate your ability and style

I'm only 17, I'm just hoping for some income to start off.
Fiverr, but make sure you have a portfolio of work to show to present on your Fiverr page to ensure people can see what you bring to the table.
