Hiring Ad Example

Feel free to modify this to fit your specific needs, but this would be the basic wording for an ad:

I am looking for someone to do video editing for me.

• I will give you a video file approximately 15-20 minutes long.
• I would like the video edited down to a finished product, about 5-10 minutes long.
• I’ll supply the intro and outro that I use, along with a few extra graphics.
• You will edit the video, using the best takes, adding pop up graphics and B-roll, and send the finished project back to me within 5-7 days.
• I do this weekly, so I’m looking for someone who will do great work so that I can use the same person every week.
• Here is an example of the videos I do. <<LINK TO SAMPLE VIDEO HERE>>

Or try this simple and to the point approach:

I’ve been doing my own editing and I’m now ready to hire this out. It takes me about 1-2 hours to edit a video. <<LINK TO SAMPLE VIDEO HERE>> Please give me examples of videos you have edited in the past and the rates you would charge.
