Honestly, I’ve been getting burnt out on Upwork lately, so I spent the last month digging into 'underground' gigs on Reddit, X, and Craigslist instead. After tracking about 500+ posts, I noticed a weird pattern with the 'Gold Hours' for each:

• Craigslist: You have to hit it between 8am–10am EST. High-budget clients post first thing before their day gets crazy. If you wait until lunch, you’re already buried under 30 other emails.
• X (Twitter): Tuesdays and Thursdays are huge for some reason. Founders tend to 'tweet-hire' mid-week, but these move fast. If the post is older than 3 hours, your odds of a reply basically drop to zero.
• Reddit: Sunday nights and Monday mornings. People spend the weekend realizing they’re overwhelmed and post right as the week starts.

Quick tip for Reddit: Stop sorting by 'Top.' Always sort by 'New.' By the time a post hits the front page of a sub, it’s already got 100+ comments and you've missed the boat.

Our production house is scouting for five creative video editors to help us produce high-quality internet documentaries. While we focus on a specific documentary style (reference links provided upon contact), standout editors will have the chance to branch out into our various other channel projects.

The Opportunity

• Workflow: Maintain a steady rhythm of 1–3 videos per week.
• Earnings: Compensation is calculated at $10 per minute of voiceover. For a standard 20-minute video, that’s a $200 payout.
• Growth: You’ll receive direct guidance from our management team to help you refine your craft and seamlessly adopt our signature editing style.

How to Apply

If you’re ready to dive in, send me a DM. To help me stay organized across several active listings, please include a screenshot of this post in your initial message.

Hey! I'm a video editor looking for some commissions.

• Long-form videos: $8/hour

• Short-form videos: $10/short

DM for more details or if ur interested!

Its a VR gaming video all I want is subtitles to hold attention, maybe some none copyright goofy music to make it more light and fun and some of your own stuff. whole point of the video is to be unhinged so anything slightly offensive (but obvious its a joke is fine) in the end im hoping for a 7-8 minute long video. thing i personally would like to see included:

A ‘coming up’ sequence displaying sections of the video yet to come to make the audience invested.

I will put my own outro in so preferably dont remove that

and an edited by @_____ your own @ for all socials. makes it look more professional and drags it out

Greatly appreciate anyone that helps me

DM FOR WORK

I’m a video editor and I can make your videos more engaging with better cuts, subtitles, and effects.

i am professional editor , i have lot of experience and my pricing is also good, i am finding a soft nature client for my editing skills

Hey, I am a high-skilled video editor by myself, and I have a lot of ongoing work that I can’t do alone, so I am looking for 1 editor to help me with that

Pay can depend, but from $10-$20 short form, and $30 - $60 long form

THIS ISN’T THING FOR PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO GET MONEY, BUR FOR ONES WHO ARE LOOKING TO LEVEL UP THEIR SKILLS.

Key is that that I will GIVE YOU FEEDBACK on each edit on what could be done better, so this is a perfect opportunity for someone who wants to grow in any way.

Trial test is required.

This isn’t job for begginers, but for solid editors who don’t have clientele.

Messages without portfolio will be ignored

Hey everyone 👋

I'm a video editor specializing in **long-form YouTube content** — think 8–20 min videos that actually retain viewers, not just get uploaded.

I don't just cut clips. Here's what I bring to the table:

✅ Custom **motion graphics & animated text** (After Effects)

✅ **Pacing & retention editing** — hooks, pattern interrupts, b-roll strategy

✅ Subtitles, color grade, sound design

✅ Clean, YouTube-optimized export every time

I'm not looking for 10 clients. I'm looking for **one serious creator** who wants a dedicated editor they can grow with long-term.

**Ideal fit:**

→ You're posting consistently (or want to)

→ You're in education, finance, health, or documentary-style content

→ You value quality over just "getting it done"

📩 **DM me with your channel link** — I'll take a look and tell you honestly if and how I can help. No pitch, no pressure.

Let's build something.

*Tools: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects | Turnaround: 3–5 days | Open to trial edit*
