YouTube + Short-Form Editing Style Revamp

About My Channel I create videos about online business, making money online, and building digital income streams. The information is real and straightforward, but the editing in this niche tends to look the same—very serious, very stiff, and not much personality. That’s not my style. I’m more relaxed, skeptical, playful, and counterculture compared to most creators in this space. I want my editing style to show that. What I Want the Editing to Feel Like My videos are mainly talking head, but the energy doesn’t need to be. I’m looking for an editing style that: Feels more fun and human Uses ideas from gaming creators, vlog creators, or lifestyle creators Has small jokes or playful moments (nothing too loud or childish) Has clean movement, smart pacing, and creative timing Feels modern, but not hyper-serious or “corporate” Breaks the typical “make money online” editing formula Simple example: The content is me teaching a concept, but the edit has the life and personality of a creator who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. Important Style Notes The niche is full of “guru energy.” I want the editing to show that I’m different. The style should: Add subtle humor or irony Use small pattern breaks (a zoom, a reaction, a caption joke) Feel confident and relaxed, not needy for attention Build a few inside jokes or visual callbacks over time Make the viewer feel like they’re hanging out with a real person, not attending a lecture This is not an overedited style. It’s intentional simplicity + personality. What You’ll Do (Clear Tasks) Phase 1 — Style Development Watch my YouTube videos and a few shorts Understand my personality and tone Create a short moodboard or style proposal (examples from gaming, vlog, lifestyle creators, etc.) Tell me your approach for mixing this style with my talking-head content Phase 2 — First Project (Paid Test) You will take: 1 existing long-form video from my channel 3 existing short-form videos And you will: Re-edit the long-form video in the new style Re-edit all 3 short-form videos as well Add your touches, your pacing, your transitions, your sound design Make recommendations for how the style could evolve This first project helps us lock in the identity before any long-term work. Phase 3 — Style Refinement After the test edits: We review together You adjust anything that feels off We finalize the “signature look” Phase 4 — Long-Term Work (If Style Is Successful) Once we agree on the style, we will: Cost out revamping existing long-form videos Cost out revamping selected existing shorts Set an ongoing monthly rate for future content: Ongoing short-form edits (around 7 per week) Occasional long-form videos each month We will build a predictable system that works for both of us. What I’m Looking For You don’t need perfect English. You do need a creative eye and the ability to mix influences. Ideal editor: Can bring gaming or vlog-style energy into talking-head content Understands subtle humor Can keep things clean, modern, and engaging Doesn’t rely on heavy templates Thinks about pacing and storytelling Likes building a long-term style with a creator Please Include in Your Application Links to your best editing samples (both long and short) Any examples where you used personality, humor, or unique pacing A short explanation of how you would edit one of my videos differently Your rate for: The first test project (1 long form + 3 short forms) Revamping long-form videos Weekly short-form packages (7 videos) Monthly long-form retainer (if applicable) Tone of Collaboration I’m looking for someone who enjoys the creative process, pushes ideas, and wants to help build a visual identity—not just add captions and cuts. This will be a long-term partnership if the style clicks. Apply tot his job
