The Pitch That Books Top YouTubers

Creators get spammed by hundreds of video editors every week. If you send a generic Google Drive link of your past work, you will be ignored. Here is how to use the "Proof of Work" framework to stand out.

The Template

Template Variables

{{recentVideoTitle}}The exact title of their latest long-form video

Example: "your recent video on productivity tools"

{{editingValue}}What you actually did with their footage

Example: "recutting the best hook into a highly-retained TikTok format"

Tactical Note: Email 1: Proof of Work. You literally do the job before they hire you. It is the only guaranteed way to stand out in a creator's inbox.

Subject Line

the hook in your last video

Email Body

Hi {{firstName}}, I loved {{recentVideoTitle}}. The pacing was great, but I noticed you aren't repurposing that content for short-form yet. I am a freelance video editor. I actually downloaded the raw video and spent 20 minutes {{editingValue}}. Are you opposed to me sending over the Google Drive link so you can just post it for free?
