I’m super excited to be bringing this to you this week! Emily Olson has been on our show before sharing her wisdom as the secret weapon to YouTube stars. But she’s on again to share more lessons on maximizing your channel with editing and I’m happy to be partnering with her on something that will help you take your videos to the next level. If you’ve ever thought about doing YouTube editing as a business, this is for you as well!
Emily started out making videos on YouTube but found that editing lit her up more than filming. Her business grew organically through that passion and through referrals and now she’s editing for women who have millions of subscribers. She wants to bring simplicity to the Youtuber space and provide resources that make it easier to produce great content. And in this episode you’re going to learn how to hold your viewers’ attention for your entire video, the breakdown of her new course for aspiring video editors, the apps she recommends to make your editing life more fun and easier, and a lot more. Enjoy!
“There’s a ton of creative freedom that comes with being able to edit video for the internet.”
3 Key Interview Takeaways
- Add the 4 ingredients. They can take a regular video and make it spectacular. Adding text, effects, transitions and sound in different ways helps to enhance the story you’re telling and makes your content more rich in an effortless way.
- Leaving bloopers in creates connection. If it doesn’t subtract from the main message or take your message off course, leave in that mistake, slip up or blooper in because it builds authenticity, character and a stronger connection with your audience.
- Keep your viewers watching. Having an eye for making tweaks that make your viewers stick around is a skill you can build with practice. Sometimes cutting out a long pause, removing a joke that doesn’t land 100% or changing the order of a clip can greatly improve your video’s enjoyment value and make that viewer stick around and come back for more.
