ONCE YOU CAN PAY UP,
WHERE DO YOU START?
Once you’re positive that you
can afford to hire a new team
member, whom do you hire first?
Typically, your initial hire would
be either an editor, an assistant
or a manager.
If you’re wondering which role is
more vital for you to hire someone
into, either pick the task you’re the
worst at, the task you hate doing
the most or the task that takes the
most time, and find someone to fill
those roles first.
“The first thing we knew we
needed was an editor,” explained
Jonathan. “It was easily taking
up the most amount of time, and
putting a lot of pressure on us [...]
and freeing up that time was im-
mensely helpful. It also allowed
us to open up time to develop
new projects as well. I also think having a person
we were paying for full-time work encouraged us
to create more things to make sure our employee
had enough to be working on.”HAVING A TEAM HELPS YOU
CREATE MORE
By delegating your workload onto people who are
passionate experts in their field, you become freed
up to work on more things that excite you. And
having a new person with fresh creative talent and
energy to work with can breathe new life into your
creative projects.
It’s nice to be a part of a team. There is no shortage
of talented and creative individuals out there who
want to be a part of a
team that makes excellent content.
Collaborating with writers, editors, social media
experts can inspire you to push your videos beyond
what was previously possible. Find which roles need
to be filled in your creative workflow, pay people
fairly and go make fantastic videos!GUIDES
