JOB OVERVIEW

We want someone who can:

Research highly successful YouTube videos in our niche

Avoid cluttered or overly complicated designs

Create strong visual concepts that compete with top channels

----------

The Paint Explainer
----------

Bluntly Explained
----------

AiTelly

Before designing, we expect you to research successful videos on the same or similar topic and compare their thumbnails.

We do NOT want exact copies.

The goal is to understand what is working and then create an original thumbnail that is just as strong or better.

Responsibilities

Create thumbnails for long-form YouTube videos

Research competing thumbnails before designing

Make revisions based on feedback

Keep each thumbnail simple and high-impact

This position will begin with a 60-day paid trial. If your work is strong and reliable, we want to continue working together long term.
When applying, please answer:

How many years have you been creating YouTube thumbnails?

Send your 5 best thumbnail examples.

Have you worked on faceless YouTube channels before?

What software do you use?

How do you research competing thumbnails before starting?

What makes a thumbnail get a high click-through rate?

Are you comfortable making revisions?

How quickly can you normally complete one thumbnail?

Are you personally doing the work, or will you subcontract it?

Choose ONE thumbnail from one of the example channels above and explain briefly why you think it works.

IMPORTANT

We are not looking for someone who simply puts text over a stock image.

We want someone who understands:

YouTube click-through rate

Curiosity
