Yes! I've been running my thumbnail designing business for more than 3 years and I'm pulling $4k-$6k every single month. I've actually posted multiple screenshots of payments on this page. 80%-90% of that comes from thumbnails, and another 10%-20% comes from simple tasks that I do for YouTubers, and I also teach those tasks in the academy. Offering those extra tasks is smart because you're making more from each client, but you don't have to. You can just focus on thumbnails.

Yes! Think of my teaching style like following a recipe! I know that we are all really busy and simply don't have the time to figure out stuff by ourselves. So I teach in simple, clear, easy-to-follow steps. Step #1 leads to Step #2 and Step #2 leads to Step #3 and so on. Additionally, the 46 modules and 10h of content are all scripted and presented in a powerpoint slide so every second has been planned and packed with knowledge.

It's actually both & let me explain. This is the complete & entire guide to how I make money as a thumbnail designer. I didn't leave anything out, it's ALL there. This means (if you're more advanced!) a few of the videos that focus on thumbnail best practices will seem basic BUT (if you're a beginner!) you will appreciate me carefully teaching all the details. 70% of this course is focused on the business side of running a thumbnail business and ONLY 30% talks about thumbnails. Most graphic designers struggle with getting clients so the academy is focused more on that.

No! I've never used paid ads to start or frow my thumbnail business. All the strategies that I use for getting clients and growing the business are free.

No! The academy teaches you how to get your own clients and build a sustainable monthly income as quickly as possible. It is almost impossible to get a job as a thumbnail designer and make a full-time income just from that. You'd have to work for a big YouTube agency or a big YouTuber like Mr. Beast. Instead of doing that and risking losing all you income if your boss decides to fire you, I teach you how to get multiple small YouTube clients that will keep paying you month after month for YEARS!

After enrolling, you'll get lifetime access to the current academy content and to any future updates that might get added as well. *It might take me up to 24h to give you access so please don't freak out if you don't get instant access.

Honestly, you can't. The academy includes business strategies and thumbnail knowledge that I've tested, analyzed, reiterated, and tested again over the years. I've been interested in online business since I was 21 (currently I'm 28), I've read more than 100 business books and I've invested more than $12,000 in business courses so far. the strategies taught in the academy are a mix of what I've learned + new strategies that I developed myself so it's pretty much impossible to find these tips on YouTube, especially when you consider the condensed and step-by-step nature of the academy.

You'll need Photoshop, a basic computer with internet access that can run Photoshop and you need to be willing to apply what I'm teaching.

In the academy, I provide recommendations for getting certain paid tools to speed up your work (like Remove bg for removing backgrounds), but you don't need those in order to start making money. I started with just Photoshop. Once you start making good money, you can then start thinking about tools that will make your work faster.

You can learn at your own pace. But I recommend spending around two hours a day on the course for effective learning.

Currently, the course is only accessible through an online course platform - to protect the content from being pirated.

Download options may or may not be available in the future.

No. I will teach you how to think about thumbnails, thumbnail mistakes, thumbnail best practices AND how to get clients for your business. 70% of the course is focused on making money. If you enroll in the academy, you should know how to use Photoshop at least at a basic level, or you should be willing to learn that on your own. I'm self-taught myself so I'm not the best person to teach you how to add shadows or clean backgrounds. I'm the best person to teach you how to make money from your skills though.

If I was worried about damaging my business, you can be sure that I wouldn't share my secrets with you. There are 3.6 million videos uploaded on YouTube daily (that number is increasing every year) and there there are thousands of new channels created daily. So I'm not worried about competition. There's work for all of us.
