YouTube Thumbnail Designer + Packaging Specialist | Photoshop + vidIQ | $250/mo Part-Time

About us We're the DIG TEAM, a real estate group with Elevation RE in Northern Utah. We publish 4–5 long-form YouTube videos per week — property tours, market updates, and interviews — aimed at people relocating to the area, military families connected to Hill Air Force Base, and local homeowners. We have an editor. We need someone who owns everything that happens outside the video: the thumbnail, the title, the description. The part that d ---------- whether anyone clicks in the first place. What you'll own For each of our 4–5 weekly videos: Thumbnails — 2–3 distinct concepts per video, not three color variations of the same idea. We'll pick one and you refine it. Titles — 5 options per video, researched in vidIQ against real search volume and competition. You should be able to explain why you'd rank them in a given order. Descriptions — written for search, with timestamps and chapters Tags and metadata Log everything in Monday so the editor and I can see status at a glance What good looks like here We don't want stock-photo-and-arrow thumbnails. Real estate YouTube is crowded with them. We want faces with real expression, clear focal hierarchy, text that reads at phone size, and a look that stays consistent enough that our audience recognizes our videos in a crowded feed. You'll get our full brand kit on day one: logo files, headshots, and our color palette with exact hex values. We're not going to make you guess at our brand.

It moves you to the top of the list immediately. If you don't have data, that's okay, but tell us the channel names so we can look. Adobe Photoshop (Figma or Canva Pro acceptable if your portfolio is strong) vidIQ or TubeBuddy — actual working knowledge of keyword research, not just having installed it ---------- , or willing to learn it in week one Strong written English — you're writing titles and descriptions that our audience reads Understanding of how YouTube's browse and suggested feeds work, and why a thumbnail that wins in search may lose in suggested Nice to have Any experience with real estate, home, or local-market content Experience designing for a US audience Schedule Fully remote and asynchronous.
