I Hired a Graphic Designer with ZERO Thumbnail making experience.
Weeks later we are creating thumbnails for YouTube videos pulling 1,000,000+ views.
Here's how.. 🧵
Excited to share that @Creative_JMC has earned the RECOMMENDED badge on YT Jobs! This achievement reflects their exceptional quality and commitment in the YouTube community. Well deserved! 🎉👏
Rapid 10K views 📈
1 hour to make the video.
Once you have a template locked down which is proven for you it’s just a case of replicating and being fast of trends.
Again this channel had 0 views and subs a few months ago.
Side project channel update
Now almost gaining its first months total views in 48 hours
First upload was 2 months ago
Only work I need to do is gather footage and basic editing
Strategy is fully locked down, can easily be a 100K channel
This channel had 0 views & subscribers 28 days ago.
Ideas, scripts, & editing was myself to test the water with a freshly made channel
Here’s some of the standout stats
- 12 videos posted
- 7/12 videos 28K+ views
- Ending on a 5 day streak of around 25-30K views per video
50M+ views across YouTube within the past year helping Creators post extra long form videos. (The number is even bigger I just rounded it up to keep things simple) I’ve seen a lot of posts about this recently with the increase of TV viewers but it’s nothing new. This has been something creatives behind the scenes have been working on and pushing for coming up to 2 years now.
I don’t believe there’s any limit to this after seeing big outliers from 20 hour+ long videos.
- Compile your most popular themed videos
- Record for 30 minutes longer (if there’s actually valuable content to do so)
- Stitch an entire series together
- Add a fresh intro and summarise everything together with a solid thumbnail
I can't speak for the ads side as I'm always using premium.
Shorts may need balancing out more for sure but YouTube's always adapting to what people are wanting and right now it's shorts, I'd say still a great opporunity for creators to mix in along with their normal longform reguardless.
Had to welcome my UK boys to the US here at VidSummit, lotttttttt of views and subs each month for us dudes here, and work hard to make sure it stays that way 🔥🔥
Me and the Team are looking to hire Creatives to join us & offer an even better service to some of the biggest Creators on YouTube 🚨
Thumbnail / Graphic Designers are top priority.

Creatives are scared AI will take over their jobs..
We found the opposite when we realised understanding AI is also a valuable skill.
When used correctly AI will make your job easier, faster AND help you create better thumbnails.
AI is here to help you not work against you.
To make a GREAT all round YouTube video I believe it's the small things built up together that matters.
Every year I try to improve the small parts in my presentation to Creators.
Improving your work -> Improves your confidence.
My new project YouTube channel hit another 100K video under 30 days (Long form) 📈
Studying and posting threads isn’t enough.
Having your own channel & actively gaining results is the best way to help yourself and Creators.
45M+ views across 7 videos in under 30 days... how?
• Spot a gap in the market for GREAT YouTube videos.
• Communicate on executing. (Most important part)
• Combine trends together to boost further.
• Rinse, Repeat & Innovate on the same idea.
