Do you have someone that you hired to help you do these videos or do you do them yourself?

The short answer is that you should first master the skills needed to create and edit videos yourself before considering hiring someone. Learning the process on your own helps you understand how video editing works, and once you’re confident, you can bring someone on board to follow the process you’ve developed.

Full Explanation

Before handing off video creation tasks to someone else, it’s essential that you become proficient in the process. Our program includes training that teaches the editing techniques and other necessary skills. This means you have a chance to learn and try the tasks yourself until you fully understand how everything works.

Creating videos involves repeated tasks, and while it might take time at first to get comfortable with the process, once you have a solid grasp, you won’t need to perform these tasks over and over again personally. Instead, you will oversee the operation and guide someone else to do it for you.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

  1. Start by going through training that explains how to do video edits and related tasks.
  2. Practice these tasks several times until you understand the process thoroughly.
  3. Once confident, prepare to delegate: create a clear process based on how you do it yourself.
  4. Show the person you want to hire exactly how you do the work by watching and demonstrating your methods.
  5. Have the new person take over the tasks, following your outlined procedures.

Real Examples

While no specific real-world examples are given, the approach described implies a hands-on learning process before delegation. For instance, a creator starts by editing their own videos, mastering the fundamentals through training, then teaches a hired assistant by walking them through the exact steps.

Common Mistakes

  • Trying to hire someone before understanding the editing process yourself, which can lead to miscommunication and errors.
  • Failing to create a clear and repeatable process to pass on to the person you hire.
  • Not investing time in training yourself adequately first, which can result in ineffective delegation.
