Think You NEED An Editing Portfolio To Get Clients? Think Again.
If you think you canโt land editing clients because you donโt have a portfolio, youโre dead wrong. Let me explain with a quick story. I recently needed to hire an editor to edit my own content while I still edit full-time for my client The Ireland Boys, so I started looking for someone who could handle the work. But once I found them, hereโs the funny thingโI never even looked at their portfolio, and I didnโt ask for it. All they did was offer me a sample edit to demonstrate their skills. And once I saw what they could do and it met my standards, I hired them on the spot. No portfolio neededโjust proof they could deliver. And the truth is thatโs not just how I hireโitโs exactly how I landed my biggest client, The Ireland Boys with 5 million subscribers. I didnโt have a portfolio, and in-fact, I'd never edited a piece of long-form content similar to their videos ever. I simply demonstrated my skills and did one free video for them, they loved it, and weโve been working together ever since. So hereโs the truth: You donโt need a polished portfolio or years of experience to land even the biggest clients out there. You just need to prove you can deliver quality results, and thatโs all they care about. Let me know if you this crushed your limiting belief about needing a portfolio or if you have any questions!
