@YudiEdits I’d say clients first honestly. Growing an account is great long term, but working with real people teaches you faster and gives you actual proof/results while you grow your audience at the same time.

@HustleBrainHb Do you think it is better to find clients or grow a twitter account first?

DM them: “I re-edited one of your videos to make it more engaging, want to see it?” 6. Send the sample 7. Offer: - per video pricing ($10–$30) - or weekly packages Creators need content constantly. If you can help them keep attention longer, you become valuable.

Don’t wait until you’re “good enough.” Most creators care more about: - consistency - speed - reliability than perfect editing.

If you don’t know where to start, pick restaurants or salons. They need content constantly and respond faster.
