Work Format

  • Fully remote with flexible working hours.
  • Approximately one thumbnail per week initially.

Compensation

Approximately $25 USD per thumbnail. Final rates depend on the project's scope, complexity, and requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Ensure thumbnails remain clear, readable, and visually effective at small sizes.
  • Align thumbnail concepts with video titles and content to communicate a strong, consistent message.

  • Implement agreed revisions and deliver completed thumbnails on time.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience designing YouTube thumbnails.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating previous thumbnail design work.
  • Excellent understanding of visual composition, typography, and attention to detail.
  • Understanding of how thumbnails and video titles work together to attract viewers.
  • Ability to create original, customized designs rather than relying solely on ready-made templates.

  • English proficiency sufficient to understand briefs, video topics, and feedback.
  • Ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and meet deadlines.

What We Offer

  • Fully remote collaboration and flexible working hours.
