You now know pretty much everything you need to know to get started in video editing.
You understand the Online Game and how to play it.
You know what you need to do, and what plan to build based on your current situation.
It is now just a matter of taking action and getting feedback.
You also have the free and paid resources at your disposal so you can 10x your progress to success.
Video editing, or any skill in general, is not difficult to monetize if you put in the work.
The market needs great editors and freelancers who take their stuff seriously.
We have a lot of lazy people in the world but very few action-takers.
I wish you good luck in your journey!
