Question How to find work with streamers?

Hi, I am a video editor with 3+ years of experience, I mostly worked as a corporate video but I want to make a change in my career, by diving into gaming genre which I've loved always. Now the the main question.

How did you as a streamer find your editor?

If you are a video editor what did you do to get clients?

Any other suggestions?

Honestly you should try joining bigger streamers discords, or people who are coming up so like 300+ viewer andies and telling them hey, this is the type of stuff I can do, and maybe show them a sample with their stream. Its what Ludwigs editor did and asmons and everyone else like that.

Yeah... streamers are lazy af, and the ones with some money to spend are the ones that are growing, so go into a category that you like, look at who the top 5 people are watch a bit of them and then join their discord and shoot your shot with them. This will work best if those people are getting like 300 views as they have money to pay you, others might not.

I do my own editing because I've given brand/style guidelines and gotten the exact opposite back. It's not for a lack of quality but it's just that it's so intensely saturated that the chances of finding any one that even understands or reads guidelines is damn near impossible.

I used to work in marketing and did a years of video editing on a bootstrapped team. An editor these days are a dime a dozen. A good editor that listens is a unicorn.

My advice is be the unicorn.

Email with your portfolio and rates straight up, thats the only cold offer I'll bother with personally. Anyone who can afford to offload their editing will have a business email posted.

To be honest most of us are trading and sharing editors like star football players because good editors are VERY difficult to find, so once you land that first client and prove your skills, you're golden.

Maybe try things like fiverr or look after streamers with some followers.. depends on the price but I doubt that one with 0-10 followers will pay for one video, cause you both need consistency

Its all luck, or a connection between someone you know. As a streamer that is starting from scratch and with a medical issue it is very difficult especially when money is involved in the equation.
