A short YouTube commentary advising creators to hire an editor because editing is low-value and time-consuming. The speaker estimates creators may be spending 20–40 hours per week editing, recommends hiring inexpensive help to reclaim time for revenue-generating activities, and previews a chart that will compare who to hire, time recovered, and hiring costs.
20–40 hours per week.
So role number one is pretty obvious. But you need an editor. So number one, you need an editor. You need somebody to take that off your plate. Because if you look at what you're really doing, you're probably spending anywhere between 20 and 40 hours per week doing all the editing. And editing is one of the lowest value tasks. You don't need to be editing. You can hire people for very, very cheap to do all the editing for you, and then that way you can buy your time back so you can work on more revenue generating activities. Now, the reason this is so important is because we're going to look at, on this char, who we're hiring and then how much time it gets us back, and then how much money it costs to actually hire that person.
