I'm looking to hire someone to create thumbnails for my YouTube videos. I mainly use screenshots and put some stuff over that. I really don't want to continue using ChatGPT for many reasons. Unfortunately I am not artistically talented, so I would really like to hire someone that could help me long term. At the moment I am putting out around 1-3 videos a week, so that's about how many projects I would need per week. I try to upload 1 on the weekend, the maybe 1 or 2 more spaced out over the week.

Hi, This seems related to keeping a consistent, quick thumbnail pipeline that matches your screenshots and upload cadence. I’d set up a repeatable template in Photoshop/Illustrator that layers your screenshots, headline, and branding so each thumbnail takes 15–30 minutes, and scales to 1–3 per week. I’ll: - build 2 clickable templates (weekend upload + weekday variants) using your screenshot style and font/brand - deliver 3 sample thumbnails from your recent videos and a simple naming/export workflow for uploads If you’d like, I can turn one of your screenshots into a sample thumbnail today — want me to use your latest video? — Smith
