[00:00] Where can you actually find freelancers? So with Thumbnail Designer, we can use X, you can find really good ones, Fiverr, Upwork, YTJobs, OnlineJobs.ph, or even, you know, ChatGPT. I can't draw the logo, no, but ChatGPT just as an example.
[00:14] Let me actually show you guys very quickly how good it actually is. Let us create, and I'm not even going to like put a lot of time into prompting it now, but let's try it out.
[00:26] All right. Can you please create me, like I'm just prompting it with a voice now. because that's going to be faster, right? Can you please create me a YouTube thumbnail on this topic? I'll also provide screenshots of my competitor channels that, you know,
[00:42] I want you to kind of not replicate, but I want the thumbnail to be as similar, or my thumbnail, to my topic to be as similar as just possible to those thumbnails or to that thumbnail. So I'll give you the topic as well right now.
[00:57] So let's see what it does. like I didn't prompt it like a bunch now topic and then we just do that. And then let's make a screenshot of the channel boom. And let's actually paste it inside here. And let's see what
[01:11] it does. Because like I know if you give chat GPT a bunch of, you know, info to a thumbnail, it's actually going to do it very, very well. So let's see what it does. I'll get you guys back once this is done. Right, the thumbnail is done, it doesn't
[01:24] look perfect. Like it's really not perfect, but it's crazy how it does it. So I would for sure like take away a bunch of text and stuff like that. But have a look how close it actually looks already Now if you put a bit of time into it and prompt it correctly like it going to do magic for you Okay So for script writers Upwork YTJobs OnlineJobs or even
[01:46] you know, ChachiBT, Claude. Claude is really good at writing scripts. You can do, you know, anything with it. Then Voice of an Artist, Fiverr, or 11Labs. And then Video Editor, Upwork, X, YTJobs, OnlineJobs.ph.
[02:00] And then what we can also do these days is we can use Vidrush, which is super cool. This is basically an AI video editor. That's also something you can use. As far as I've heard from, you know, our students and stuff, I don't use it, but it has massively
[02:15] improved. So this is something I have to look into as well, even more again, because it apparently has massively improved. And yeah, maybe I use it as well. I'll let you guys know. Then for a channel manager, now, let's be clear, like a channel manager, you do not
[02:29] needed until you, you know, run a few more channels. Like if you run one channel, you do not need a channel manager. If you run a few channels, then yes. Now, where can you hire them? Look into your friend group on Upwork. Look into your freelancers that you already have. That's
[02:45] what I do just as an example on YTjobs or on onlinejobs.ph. That's where you can also, you hire managers. Then most commonly used payment methods is bank transfer,
[02:59] wise, PayPal, or Remedy. Something I'd always recommend you guys to do is always ask the freelancers like, hey, through which kind of platform can I pay you because some of them or many of them aren't third world countries and they don't have, for example, PayPal, wise, all
[03:13] of these. So just make sure that you can actually pay them. All right.
