Ok, so usually once a YouTube channel starts to grow (btw, check out my premium community where I lay out a complete YouTube strategy for you for only $37.) you start to get email upon emails from scam artists trying to trick you into giving them money.

But every once in a while, there is a legitimate one.

Iā€™m glad to say I found a legitimate one in the form of a video editor. Have any of you heard of Ratul Sinha?

Well, he has a team of editors that are very, VERY good.

But the way I found out they were good wasā€¦ well, happenstance.

He uses ā€˜cold emailā€™ to get new business, and he certainly got mine. I got an email from him, but there was something different about it. He mentioned how he was ALSO a YouTuber.

So I checked out his channel,l andā€¦ it was good. Like really good.

We then discussed rates, and they were reasonable, especially for the first go.

The first few videos have come out great and were done within 48 hours.

I was FLOORED.

Most email outreach I get is pretty trash, but I gave it a shot.

Another feather in his cap was that he (or at least whoever is answering his email) was VERY responsive. Answering emails pretty much right after I hit send on my side. That is wild to me and is what got him the new client.

The channel I just launched, I will be calling the ABC Case Study for reasons I will save for my community, but regardless, Iā€™ve decided to make Ratulā€™s agency the official editor for it.

Once the channel breaks 1k subs, then I ā€œMAYā€ reveal it in this newsletterā€¦ but Iā€™m excited about it.

So be careful hiring people off cold email, but honestly, Iā€™ve looked in a lot of places, and the best editors for me have come from Upwork and, now, cold outreach.

Chat soon,

PS, Iā€™m thinking of putting training within the community about how to hire all phases of the YouTube game and save as much money as possible, including templates for hiring and all. If you are interested in something like that, let me know, and Iā€™ll create it.

When youā€™re ready, hereā€™s how I can help:
