Video production is a very profitable career, however, you need to have a lot of professional-level skills to succeed. If you have an interest in making money from videos but do not have the professional skills to create videos, short videos can be a good option for you.

In order to create short video, you will have to create an account on social media platforms where short videos are enabled, for example, youtube shorts, toktok, facebook Reels and Instagram Reels. You can start creating your short videos just by opening the app on your smartphone. You can even edit your videos, add sound effects, texts, and other VFX to make your videos better. If you want to do something better, you can try video editing mobile apps like capcut.

You can either shoot yourself, signing and dancing, acting and performing, or shoot people, things, scenes, animals, etc. You can even create short videos from stock video footage.

You might need a lot of equipment apart from smartpohone, for example, microphone, camera tripod, Gimbal, etc. However, it can start with your basic equipment.

Is it easy to make money? Well, making money is very difficult. But tell me what method of making money is easy. Even when you have a job, you will have to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to get paid by the end of the month.
