This short workshop-style YouTube clip (Comment "Workshop" by Eric Deeran) advises creators to hire an editor to outsource low-value editing work. The speaker argues creators often spend 20–40 hours/week editing, which is inefficient; hiring inexpensive editors buys back time for revenue-generating activities. The speaker indicates a forthcoming chart comparing who to hire, hours saved, and hire cost.

Chapters

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.
