oh my god i can outsource my life now all i need is something to outsource
eight weeks later this is really frustrating this takes me like five hours to do it really takes me
like five hours to do this is something that i can outsource hey guys welcome back to the
channel and today i am going to talk about how to outsource things that take a lot of your time
and are probably not worth it based on things like the four hour work week or the almanac of naval
ravicant which is fantastic two fantastic books two of my favorite books and when i read this
first in the four hour work week about outsourcing things i thought it was brilliant i thought it was
fantastic and i started looking for opportunities where i could outsource my life i already have a
maid i'm very lucky and who cleans very well here but i found that video editing takes a ton of my
time it really takes me like five hours to edit a video for youtube and that's a lot of time for
me i got i have kids i have a job and i have other things to do but i love making videos so i thought
editing would be a perfect thing to outsource so that's what i did and i'm going to tell you
how exactly i did it what the results are and to give you a hint the video you're watching
right now is edited by an outsourced editor so it works and it's fantastic saves me a ton of time
and it's a lot of fun so let's go let's check it out now looking for youtube video editing
you find a ton of different sellers that are willing to do it and just to walk you through
here you have an ad by this ahb utt098 do awesome youtube video editing and video post production
you can see they all start with i will and fiverr i don't know why but this guy's done 194 projects
and has an average of 4.9 stars and there's like level one there's level two on all of these people
and basically you can go and look through you look through all of these and find a an editor that you
feel comfortable so what did i do so i looked through all of these video editing people and
i chose three that i thought i'd be comfortable with they were in my price range and they seemed
to you know have good ratings right so five stars with a number of projects under their belt so then
i reached out to them and i said hey how do you do this i'm looking for a long-term video editor
that's able to edit my videos every week because as you saw in the previous video i have the goal
of putting out at least one video a week for youtube because that's the way to do
it initially i sent them all my footage and it was like 40 minutes of shooting and it was too
big and they didn't want to deal with it all of them which is totally fair so what i did was make
an assembly cut so i i took out all the chunks i brought all the chunks together that i liked
and then and then put them together into one long video which is kind of an assembly cut it wasn't
you know edited well but it had all the chunks that i liked with clean audio and then i sent that
to them and i said look i want somebody that will use their artistic ability and their own judgment
and come up with a great video and i gave it to three people so i could see what i would
get back because not everybody has the same ideas so the first video i got back so you can see from
this video the colors are a bit washed out they just seem a little bit too saturated to my taste
he used some good stock footage which was great i really liked that but the overall edits were a
little bit boring and it really wasn't what i was looking for so i tried somebody else
and in this one you can see the colors are about the same as the as the first one but right off
the bat from the beginning of the video he uses some interesting words and some icons and so on
i liked that i wasn't so thrilled with the the fonts then the colors you used in the in the
words but the editing was a bit different than the first guy that i tried so um you can see the the
like and subscribe that he put in there as well also good and then i tried a third person and
you can see the colors uh aren't so saturated which i like he used some good stock footage
in this and did some interesting edits and some some takes and some some good labels and whatnot
so i went with this guy and and it so far it's been working pretty well and i've been enjoying
it quite a lot the process was really fantastic because what i could do was make just the
video and focus on the creative process there and then send out that assembly cut to
my editors and then they would come back with their own take on it and
it saved up a ton of time for me after i get one first cut then they can do revisions
and many of them do you know as many revisions as you want but what i'm looking for is somebody
that i can go back to every week and just send him or her the video the rough edit of the video
and they know exactly what to do and they use their own artistic judgment to make it really
good because what i don't want to do is is tell them exactly everything to do no i want them to
figure that out and really come up with good cuts and now after this is my the second video that
i've done i really like the way that the editor that i've chosen is using zoom ins and outs and
and changing the the framing of the shots uh using music and so on so it's really starting to take
foot which is great actually i started looking at fiverr all around and this isn't an ad for fiber
this could be anything this could be up work as well and we'll look it up work as well so one of
the things that i did was look through fiverr and see what other things people are offering so you
can see up here there's graphic and designs digital marketing which might come in handy
later on writing and translation which is good you get you know translating from different languages
video and animation which is where i found my editors music and audio programming and tech
and that got me interested when i looked at mobile apps desktop applications chatbot game development
so actually this is just a crazy idea for another income stream is to pay one of these people 50 or
100 bucks to write a video game and then put it on the app store market it a bit see if i get my 50
or 100 bucks back so that's going to be a future video where we're just going to try it out why the
heck not and it's like 50 bucks to get somebody to develop a game sure i'm gonna try that i'm
also working on a startup idea so you know with this channel it's all about trying out all these
ideas that people put in about getting different income streams and whatever it is so one of the
things that i'm doing is working with a few friends that i know on building a startup
and the startup is around data let's just say an ai uh two things that i have experience in
and we need a business plan well on fiverr or upwork you can get a business plan so here's um
business plans right there you can just click it and ask somebody to write the business plan so
that you don't have to so it's really helpful so i'm really looking forward to digging into into
this and to up work i'll just uh bring those guys up for a second so i haven't signed up for upwork
yet i've only been using fiber so take that for what it's worth as i do these other things as i
get the gaming stuff going on i'm gonna make a video on it and you can see what it's like
to actually use fiverr to have some some dude write a video game for you put it on the app
store market it all that stuff i'll share with you what that takes and see if it's successful and if
it is i'll keep doing it why not um same with the business plan and so on so that's it that's what
i'm gonna get busy with so if you're watching this video right now this was edited by somebody who i
found on fiverr and let me know in the comments if you like it let me know if they can improve
and so on we're always looking for feedback great to have you along have an awesome awesome day bye
