In this video, we’re going to cover how to edit ****your VSL. You’ll see how to turn raw video footage into a final VSL, and insights on important topics like how to hire a video editor, what instructions to give your editor & how to upload the VSL to Wistia.

A Word Of Warning 🛑

At first, focus more on testing the copy and less on how the VSL looks.

****As long as:

1. Your lighting is good;
2. Your audio is clear; and
3. You look like a normal human…

Then you’re good to go.

Video Editors 🎬 🧑🏻‍💻

****When hiring or looking for a video editor, you have three main options:

1. Edit the VSL yourself;
2. Low-cost editor in the Philippines; or
3. Higher-quality editor in the West.

At first, I would suggest either DIY or an editor from the Philippines.

You only need minimal editing, so it’s not an issue. Once you start scaling and you have a formula that works, invest in a more expensive, more skilled editor from the West (or Eastern Europe).

Then you can test a more polished, professional VSL with b-roll and music.

Here’s a job post you can use to find an editor:
