Hey! I'm Kenneth

My name is Kenneth, I’m from Quezon City, Philippines, and I've been editing for 4 years.

I’m currently making about $1,000 per month from video editing, but my ultimate goal is to be making $10,000.

I started editing during the COVID pandemic. At the time, I had zero experience as a podcast video editor, but I needed to find a way to support my family and survive the uncertainty of the pandemic. Like many others, I turned to freelancing and found opportunities in the entrepreneurial and side hustle niche. It wasn’t easy at first. I had to teach myself everything—from understanding editing software to mastering storytelling and adapting to different client styles.

If you’re just starting out as a podcast video editor, here are a few quick lessons I’ve learned:

Learn the Basics: Use free tools like DaVinci Resolve and watch YouTube tutorials to get started.
Build a Portfolio: Create sample projects or edit for free/low-cost to show your skills.
Network and Apply: Join communities (like this!) and freelance platforms to find your first clients.
Be Patient: It takes time, but consistency pays off.

I want to improve my editing career in these areas:

Animation
Special effects (SFX)
Finding more clients

For fun, I like to:

Travel to new places
Take on DIY home projects with my wife—I love the satisfaction of creating something from scratch.
Enjoy a great cup of coffee (it’s my go-to fuel for long editing sessions).

I’m excited to connect, share ideas, and learn from this amazing community. Here’s a picture of my workspace—it’s simple but feels like home! LFG!
