@MarioJoos Let's goooo - ready to take notes✍️

If you want to go deeper into how to actually build this out step by step. I’m doing a live session with @joinroster on April 21st. We’ll get into the full process of scaling a YouTube team, from first hires to long-term structure. Go to luma.com/asmhfmd8

How to build a YouTube team (3 stages, 20+ roles) If you want to build a full YouTube team, you’ll have to hire more than just an editor. However, knowing where to start can be very difficult. That’s why it’s recommended to think about hiring in 3 stages. Let’s take a look at those three stages, and maybe this post may give some inspiration on who you can hire next. Stage 1: Building a foundation Before we start to make things complex, you’re first looking to hire individuals that are there to just get you out of the weeds. These are people that do tasks that may touch on your creative output, but are mostly focused on trying to win you time. Here are the foundational hires you typically go for: - Editor: this person will be responsible for your edit all the way from start to finish, from cutting up the footage to adding polishing visuals. Most of the time, they become your first hire because of how much time they save you. - Thumbnail Designer: the second hire is typically a thumbnail designer. They’re thinking about the composition of your thumbnail, make sure your channel looks consistent, and focus on optimizing for that click. Those are your first hires, but in this stage, I’d actually add a few more hires that could drastically improve your output. - Producer: a producer is a problem solver who focuses on anything that your production could need. You need to find a great location for a certain scene? That’s the producer’s role. You need to run to the store and figure out how to fit props within your budget? Same thing. Producers are vastly underrated in how much an extra hand can do. - Scriptwriter / Researcher: hiring a scriptwriter is great, however, it’s also dangerous. Many scriptwriters don’t fully understand your vision or may write in their own voice instead of yours. So either get precise in guiding the scriptwriter to create content like you, or hire a researcher that presents you with information for your next video so you can stay in control of the actual video. - Accountant (external at first, later in-house if you grow): this may seem straightforward, but I’ve run into too many situations where a creator suddenly tells me about an unexpected tax bill, or they’re not properly writing off their expenses. Get yourself an accountant. You’re running an operation here. - Channel Manager: managing such a small team can often be overwhelming, especially if you’re someone who started creating content as a passion project. Channel managers are here to help with all of the small stuff such as uploading your content, checking if everything is okay with the channel, running your A/B tests, and so much more. Now, they often get involved in managing people as well, but this depends on the creator. Stage 2: Growth stage Eventually, what your small team can do hits a ceiling. That’s when things start feeling tiresome and you realize you can’t push further without adding more people. Growth is all about spreading the workload, helping take pressure off your own team, and even adding some expertise into the mix. I won’t go as in-depth with these for this article (it would get long), but it should give you some idea. Here are the growth hires you typically go for: - 2nd Editor - Assistant Editor - VFX Editor (expensive, but sometimes needed) - Idea Researcher - Social Media Manager (repurpose content) - Personal / Executive Assistant - Creative Director - Strategist - Casting Director - Camera Operator - B-roll Shooter - Lawyer (external, but often needed since you’re starting to deal with more and more contracts) Stage 3: Quality, monetization, expansion Now you’re past the point of just cranking out videos. The focus shifts to making sure quality never drops. You’re also looking to earn beyond ad revenue and brand deals. Maybe that’s through side channels, localization, dubbing, or repurposing your content on other platforms. Note that you could already hire some of these people in the second stage if you want to. Stage 3 hires are: - Audio Engineer - Community Manager - Post-Production Supervisor - Localization Lead (managing dubbing) - Retention Director (frameio , analytics) - Brand Manager The order you hire in depends on your goals and where you’re at, but the reason you scale is always the same: you or your team don’t have enough time, and if you don’t solve that, you’ll be bottlenecked.

@shiri_shh This is literally what @joinroster is for.

random idea: hiring video editor is such a mess right now. 100+ video editor jobs are posted every day on reddit and twitter alone. someone should fix this — a place where you can find vetted, quality video editors in hours, not weeks. monetization won’t be a problem. creators already make money and are very willing to pay.

@Osomon3 @hamouine_ilyes We hear you on the pain point! This is why we built a recommendation algorithm that surfaces the best creatives for you based on how closely your content style matches!

@hamouine_ilyes There's alternatives to YtJobs. I believe @joinroster would be the main one. I've found more success on YtJobs though. Maybe a fully vetted platform would help solve the issue
