Posted 5 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am looking for an excellent, creative and highly skilled video editor to help elevate my YouTube channel. My channel focuses on Airbnb management, serviced accommodation, property management, and digital products for people who want to learn how to build or grow a property business. The content needs to be educational, engaging, visually strong, and designed to build trust while also helping sell digital products such as templates, calculators, courses, guides and other resources. You can view my existing YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@Aissatouinproperty **What I am looking for** I need someone who can take my existing video content and turn it into highly engaging YouTube videos with strong storytelling, pacing and visuals. The ideal editor will have experience with: * YouTube editing for educational, business or personal brand channels * AI-generated content and AI-assisted storytelling * Cartoon-style visuals, motion graphics and animation * B-roll selection and visual storytelling * Text overlays, captions, callouts and key message highlights * Sound design, music selection and pacing * Creating engaging hooks and improving viewer retention * Structuring content to support product sales without making the video feel too “salesy” * Repurposing long-form content into short-form clips for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok **The style I want** I want the videos to feel professional, modern, clear and engaging. The content should not feel basic or flat. I am looking for someone who can add creative layers to the video, including AI visuals, animations, graphics, storytelling sequences and strong editing choices. The tone should be educational, aspirational and credible. The viewer should feel they are learning something valuable, while also becoming interested in my paid digital products and services. **Sample task** As part of the application, I would like you to create a 2-minute sample edit based on one of my existing YouTube videos. The sample should show how you would improve the video through: * Better pacing * Stronger opening hook * Captions or text overlays * Relevant B-roll * AI-generated visuals or animations * Cartoon-style or motion graphic elements where appropriate * Improved transitions * Music and sound design * Stronger visual storytelling * A subtle call-to-action for a digital product or free resource The purpose of the sample is to see your creative direction, storytelling ability and editing style. **Optional but valuable skill** It would be a bonus if you can also create high-converting YouTube thumbnails. I am particularly interested in thumbnails that are clear, clickable and professional, with strong titles, expressions, contrast and positioning. **Please include in your proposal** Please respond with: 1. Examples of YouTube videos you have edited, ideally for business, education, property, personal brand or digital product creators. 2. Examples of AI-generated content, animation, cartoon-style editing or motion graphics you have produced. 3. A short explanation of how you would improve my current videos. 4. Whether you can create thumbnails. 5. Your price for a 2-minute sample edit. 6. Your price for editing full YouTube videos on an ongoing basis. 7. Your usual turnaround time. 8. The tools you use, for example Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, Runway, Midjourney, Pika, ElevenLabs, Canva, Photoshop or similar. **Long-term opportunity** This could become an ongoing role for the right person. I am looking for someone who can help me build a strong YouTube presence, improve watch time, create more engaging videos and support the sale of my digital products. Please only apply if you have strong creative judgement, excellent attention to detail and can produce Youtube videos that look polished, engaging and professional.
