# Where to find video editing clients

> Plenty of creators edit their own videos and hate doing it. Here is how to find them and offer to help.

## Who needs an editor

The best prospects are creators who upload regularly but are still small enough to edit themselves — normally somewhere between a few thousand and a few hundred thousand subscribers. Bigger channels often have teams already; very new channels rarely have budget.

## Find them by niche

Pick niches you enjoy and understand: fitness, finance, tech, cooking, education. In GetClient's YouTube scraper, add keywords for the niche ("budget travel", "home workout", "excel tutorial") and collect channels. Filter by:

- **10K–300K subscribers**
- **uploaded in the last 30 days**
- **has email**

## Check their videos

Watch a minute of their latest video. Look for things you can improve: pacing, cuts, captions, B-roll, thumbnails, intros. Note one specific idea.

## Pitch with a sample

Nothing beats showing your work on their content:

> Hi Jordan — loved your "budget espresso setups" video. I re-cut the first 45 seconds with faster pacing and captions (link). I edit for three coffee and food channels — happy to take your editing off your plate for two videos to start?

Short-form clips (Shorts, Reels) from their long videos are an easy first offer.

## Offer straightforward packages

- per video (with a cap on length)
- monthly packages (e.g. four long videos + eight shorts)
- add-ons: thumbnails, captions, channel management

## Grow through referrals

Creators know other creators in their niche. Ask happy clients for introductions, and use the scraper to find similar channels to your best clients.
