YouTube Thumbnail Designer (Faceless Channels, Long-Term)

Type: Part-time / Long-term
Location: Remote (Philippines only – onlinejobs.ph)

About Me

I run several faceless YouTube channels, including:

Viking history & medieval survival

Dark historical stories (empires, queens, executions, scandals)

Christian night / sleep content (“Rest by the fire with Jesus”)

I’m looking for a reliable thumbnail artist who can create high-CTR, cinematic thumbnails using Canva, Photoshop, or AI tools (Leonardo, Midjourney, etc.) and follow my reference styles closely.

What You’ll Do

Create YouTube thumbnails for:

Viking / medieval survival & history

Dark history / royal scandal / inquisition / empires

Peaceful Christian “rest with Jesus” night videos

Use the title + short brief + sample reference I give you to design eye-catching thumbnails.

Deliver 16:9 thumbnails (2560 x 1440) ready to upload.

Follow and improve existing brand styles I’ll show you.

Make small revisions when needed (change text, color, expression, etc.)

Tools You Can Use

Canva / Photoshop / Photopea

AI tools (Leonardo, Midjourney, etc.) to speed up image creation

I don’t care which tools you use as long as:

Thumbnails look clean, dramatic, and clickable

No watermarks

No stolen / copyrighted TV/movie characters

Requirements

Experience creating YouTube thumbnails (please send examples)

Strong sense of composition, contrast, and big bold text

Able to match specific reference styles I give you

Can work fast and consistently

Open to feedback and small revisions

Good communication in English

Bonus if you:

Already worked on history / dark / Christian / storytelling channels

Know how to design A/B test variations (same thumbnail, slightly different text/expressions)

Payment / Budget

Rate: $1 per thumbnail (starting rate)

This is stable, long-term work if the quality and consistency are good.

Volume can grow to 20–50 thumbnails per month or more across channels.

Please only apply if you’re comfortable starting at $1 per thumbnail and working with AI + design tools to be fast and efficient.

How to Apply

Please send:

A short intro about you

5–10 of your best YouTube thumbnails (links or images) – ideally:

2–3 dark / documentary / history style

2–3 cinematic / movie-poster style

1–2 calm/Christian/peaceful styles (if you have)

Answer these questions briefly:

What software/tools do you use for thumbnails?

How long does it usually take you to create one thumbnail?

Are you okay with $1 per thumbnail to start?

Small test (optional but BIG plus):

Choose one of these titles and tell me how you would design the thumbnail (describe it in 3–5 lines):

How Did Vikings Survive Icy Sea Voyages Without Fire on Their Ships?

What the Spanish Inquisition Did to Jewish Brides Was Worse Than You Imagine

You’re Exhausted Tonight, Rest by the Fire with Jesus
