Now more than ever people are in need of video editors.

There is a lot more video content being created because of the need to produce digital content to stay relevant in your field.  Whether you’re a mom blogger, influencer, or small business owner, you probably have a good amount of footage you have shot or plan to shoot for social media promotional purposes.  And you may be wondering, “How do I turn all this footage into something?”

Working in the video industry and being married to a video editor, I often get asked, “How do I find an editor?”  My brother, who is an athletic influencer himself, pleaded we write a blog post on this topic.

So here are the best places to find video editors:
