Everyone wants to be a YouTuber or content creator. But in the beginning, most creators don’t have a high-quality camera, mic, and so on.
However, if a content creator or YouTuber wants to grow from the start, succeed, and get views on their YouTube channel, they must focus on the camera, mic, good communication, lighting, etc.
Many have done this already, made the best video quality, and everything is good, but they still don’t get views. This is the most frustrating part for every content creator.
Everything seems okay, but it’s not. Why? Because most creators don’t focus on YouTube thumbnails, and that’s one of the most important things on YouTube.
Many people upload videos with thumbnails, but the quality of their thumbnails still isn’t good. This is where YouTubers often get caught—they don’t focus on their thumbnails.
This is where you can play a vital role. How?
If you start learning how to create YouTube thumbnails and become a YouTube thumbnail designer, it’s a great opportunity to make money from YouTubers or content creators.
You may ask okay I understand. But how do I do it, and how do I find these YouTubers or content creators? It’s very easy. Go to YouTube and search for any type of content.
You’ll notice that many YouTubers don’t use thumbnails. So, if you’re starting out, what you can do for practice is take a picture of a key moment from the YouTube video and use it to design a thumbnail.
To understand how the thumbnail is done, you can contact the YouTuber via the email listed on their channel or through social media. This way, you can offer to design thumbnails for free as practice.
Once you do this a few times, you will gradually build connections. Then, when you realize that you’re skilled enough as a thumbnail designer, you can ask for payment if they want to continue working with you.
Here’s where thumbnail designers often make a mistake: they try to create thumbnails for famous creators. But you have to understand that these creators don’t need you—they already have someone. Why would they hire you if they already have someone? So, don’t focus on them.
Instead, gradually shift your focus to smaller YouTubers and consider starting an agency based on your work.
