Gaurav A.

YouTube Video Editor & Strategist | 50,000+ Videos, 12B+ Views

🎥 I've worked on 50,000+ YouTube videos with 12B+ organic views, and I edit and grow channels for coaches, advisors and brands. 💰 My clients have earned $30M+ through YouTube, selling financial advice, real estate, courses, consulting and more. 📺 Across 300+ channels and most of YouTube's niches, I've handled JianHao Tan (7.7M subscribers), Yatinder Singh (0 to 2M+ in 2 years), Nestle, DeLaval, and many more. 🧩 I'm a one-stop YouTube team: strategy, scripts, editing, thumbnails, SEO, publishing and reporting. Take one piece or the whole channel, and you get systems I've built over 8 years and have never seen another YouTube freelancer run. 📈 RESULTS, CHANNEL BY CHANNEL ▸ 1,000+ qualified leads for Ari Taublieb, CFP using organic YouTube. In 14 months I brought 4M+ organic long-form views and 48,000+ new subscribers, and 19 of the channel's 20 most-viewed videos were mine. ▸ 0 to 2M+ subscribers in 2 years: Yatinder Singh (fitness). I made every video on the way to 2M, and he's at 5.3M today. ▸ A course business built on YouTube: Kathleen Jasper. her entire business got built around YouTube and became the #1 channel for her course and book sales. The channel now has 118K subscribers and 1,000+ videos. ▸ Singapore's Biggest YouTuber and his entire media network: Titan Digital Media, JianHao Tan's company in Singapore. I handled every channel, including JianHao Tan, JEBBEY Family, Team Titan, Titan Gamers, etc. ▸ Also: The Investor's Edge (real estate), Motion Retirement (Josh Rendler, CFP), Dr. Vivek Bindra (21M), Nestle (OPTIFAST), Joy Joy World (8M), and faceless channels like Spacialize and Horror Recaps. Along with other 300+ channels. 🛠️ YOUR WHOLE YOUTUBE TEAM, IN ONE HIRE ▸ Research: your niche, competitors and what your buyers search for or audience looks for ▸ Strategy: a monthly plan of topics and videos ▸ Scripts: written in your voice, from your stories and opinions ▸ Recording help: setup checks and shot lists, so you film a month of videos in one or two sittings ▸ Editing: long-form videos and Short form, cut by hand, not AI ▸ Thumbnails and titles: 3 of each for every video ▸ SEO and publishing: descriptions, tags, chapters, captions, end screens and scheduling ▸ Shorts: 5 cut from every long video ▸ Leads and reporting: tracked links and a monthly report ⚙️ MY STRATEGY SYSTEMS 1. Tri-Algo Growth System: YouTube's Search, Browse (the home feed) and Suggested are three separate algorithms, and each wants something different. I build every video for all three and keep working on it after launch. 2. Niche Watch: every day I track 10 channels around yours on 9 signals, from view velocity and topic gaps to hooks, titles and thumbnail styles. When a format starts working in your niche, you hear about it that week. 3. Weekly re-packaging: I go back over your active videos and replace any thumbnail or title that's underperforming. 4. Topics from ICP/Audience signals: I find topics in what your buyers or audience search when ready to spend, ask in your comments and watch on rival channels. 5. 50,000+ videos of pattern memory: whatever your niche, I've seen what works in it, and what quietly kills a channel. 🎬 HOW I EDIT AI edits and template cuts are everywhere now. Viewers click away from them, and YouTube's rules (updated July 2025) demonetize mass-produced, repetitive content. So every video I deliver is cut by hand in DaVinci Resolve: storyboard first, then motion graphics, animation, color grading, transitions, sound design and VFX wherever they keep people watching. I license music and stock footage through Artlist and Storyblocks, so your channel stays safe from copyright claims. Every edit includes the long-form video, 5 shorts, 3 thumbnails and 3 title options. Your first cut lands within 24 hours, with unlimited changes. If you want the cheapest AI cut on Upwork, I'm not your editor. If you want videos people watch to the end, send me your footage. ⭐ WHAT CLIENTS SAY "He has tremendous experience and knows the space exceptionally well. He's always anticipating needs and goes above and beyond to deliver." (Channel Manager for Personal Brand, 2025) "The editing skills of Gaurav's team are undoubtedly a major asset for anyone looking to elevate their YouTube presence." (Visionary Video Creator, 2024) I'm online 16 hours a day, seven days a week: 8:30 PM to 12:30 PM Pacific. Invite me with your channel link, and I'll reply with the first 3 changes I'd make to your videos.
