"proper rate" for editors is quite high, youtubers with highly edited weekly videos with motion graphics and stuff are paying upper hundreds $USD per week for them, and you have to be making a decent amount to be able to afford a regular editor. short of working for a vshoujo or someone adjacent to them, it's gonna be hard to find someone who can afford to have you regularly editing stuff unless they're underpaying you (or you're doing very simple editing). the play, I think, is to get good at doing MV editing/animating and shill to the TBA crowd doing a bunch of one-offs.
just from personal experience, the reason I only take "commissions" from friends/people-I-want-to-edit-for-anyway is because what they consider a "good rate" often pays me less than US minimum wage if you break it down by work hours.
the freelance life is hard, good luck out there vampire!
