Podcast Editing + Shorts Clipping Service
Clean up episodes with AI, then bundle the vertical clips podcasters actually need
- Difficulty
- Beginner
- Timeframe
- 2-3 weeks to first client
- Potential earnings
- £300-2,000/month at 5-10 hours a week. £2,000 months need roughly 15 steady episodes, which is a real sales grind to build.
Take a client’s raw podcast episode, clean it up with AI (filler-word removal, levelling, mastering), and bundle 3-5 vertical clips per episode for TikTok, Shorts and Reels. Every episode is repeat business.
Why it works
There is a growing pool of podcasters who love talking and hate editing. The demand recurs weekly, which makes this retainer-friendly: land one show and every episode is another invoice. The premium bundle (clean audio plus ready-to-post clips) beats the £10 Fiverr floor because it saves the podcaster a whole workflow, not just a task.
The catch
Raw AI cleanup is a commodity - the podcaster can press the same button. The value is the done-for-you bundle, delivered on schedule, every episode, without being asked. Consistency is the product.
Step by step
- Learn the AI cleanup workflow in Descript or Cleanvoice until an episode takes under an hour
- Practise clip selection with OpusClip, then hand-pick the moments it misses - that judgment is the product
- Edit one free episode for a small podcast in exchange for a testimonial
- Build tiers around bundles: cleanup-only, cleanup + 3 clips, cleanup + 5 clips + captions
- Pitch shows with 10-50 episodes and no clips on their socials - they already publish, they just cannot keep up
- Move every client to a monthly retainer as soon as the second episode lands
Tools you'll use
Chuck's pro tip
Charge per episode, in tiers (roughly £20 / £75 / £150+ depending on the bundle). The clip captions and hook selection are where your taste shows; never ship OpusClip’s picks unreviewed.
