Eric Deeran argues creators waste 20 to 40 hours a week editing when they should hire someone to do it. He breaks down who to hire, how much time you get back, and what it costs to buy back hours for work that actually makes money.
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.
