Are You the One Who Turns Raw Footage Into Content That Converts?

We work with coaching brands that are changing lives — but behind every viral clip and highretention episode is a creative powerhouse making it happen.

They’re overwhelmed by:

  • Hours of unedited podcast footage sitting in folders
  • YouTube channels missing the strategy to scale
  • Reels that feel flat or offbrand
  • Missed storytelling moments buried in long recordings
  • No one to consistently create scrollstopping content
    • They don’t need someone to cut clips.
      They need someone who can own the entire content engine.

      A strategic video editor who understands coaching content, audience psychology, and what it takes to drive engagement and conversions across YouTube, Shorts, and Reels.

      What You’ll Actually Be Doing

      You won’t just edit videos.
      You’ll transform raw conversations into engaging, highconverting content that grows audiences and builds trust.

      You’ll take ownership of:

      1. LongForm Podcast Editing (YouTubeReady)
      ● Edit weekly 45–90 minute podcast episodes with pacing, tension, and open loops in mind
      ● Optimize intros (first 15–30 seconds) to maximize viewer retention
      ● Enhance each episode with graphics, captions, and visual polish

      2. ShortForm Clip Creation (Reels, Shorts, & More)
      ● Extract 3–5 highimpact clips per episode that are native to each platform
      ● Add captions, hooks, and tailored pacing to maximize retention and shares
      ● Deliver in vertical, mobileoptimized formats for IG and YouTube Shorts

      3. Thumbnail & Title Strategy
      ● Design scrollstopping thumbnails tailored for the coaching and personal development niche
      ● Craft titles that strike the perfect balance between searchable and curiositydriven

      4. Performance Tracking & Optimization
      ● Analyze content performance metrics (watch time, CTR, engagement) and propose improvements
      ● Identify viral moments and highperforming themes from within longform content
      ● Recommend future content based on coaching trends and audience response

      5. Content Publishing & Scheduling
      ● Upload and schedule videos with fully optimized metadata (titles, tags, descriptions)
      ● Maintain consistent posting across platforms and repurpose content efficiently
      ● Organize and archive assets within content libraries and project tools

      You’ll Love This Role If You…
      ● Obsess over storytelling, pacing, and viewer retention
      ● Are strategic about your edits — not just stylistic
      ● Love coaching, personal growth, or business education content
      ● Think like a content marketer, not just a video editor
      ● Enjoy watching content go live and seeing it perform

      You Might Be a Fit If You’ve…
      ● Edited longform podcasts and YouTube content with proven results
      ● Worked with coaching brands or educational creators
      ● Created thumbnails, captions, and platformnative edits
      ● Used Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve professionally
      ● Tracked performance in YouTube Studio or social analytics dashboards

      This Role Isn’t for You If…
      ● You’ve only edited for weddings or cinematic storytelling (this is strategic content editing)
      ● You get overwhelmed managing multiple assets, versions, and deliverables
      ● You struggle to hit deadlines or thrive only in fully scripted environments
      ● You aren’t comfortable making strategic content decisions based on audience data
