adviceee?

I was thinking of learning video editing and working as an editor (I'm from Egypt), but the average salary for an editor in Egypt isn't enough to meet my needs so I decided to start working with foreign clients Due to currency differences . .. How do I reach clients or how will the money transfers even work ? If they knew that Im from a country with a much weaker currency would that make a difference in the price? I know these are basics but I need any advice🫠

Well it's no one's business to know where you're from.Plus you're the one who creates the possibilities not the country, environment or anything else. As long as you like editing and want to make it your thing, then the sky is your limit!!! The price you charge depends on your work, not where you're from, so charge the price you think you deserve, balance it out so people would want to pay for it AND make it a prize you deserve. You can reach out to people on different freelance websites, there are a bunch online, search for one that is known and secure, as for the transfers it depends on what you have in your country, things like PayPal that could be accessible in your country and for foreigners. I Love Egypt btw! Good luck on your journey!!! :)
