If you don't have clients, just watch this video @fraziel7 is the only guy I know who gives out actually good advice. Wouldn't be where I am without his videos.

Could someone that knows how to do outreach give me his opinion on one thing? If yes, DMs please (not outreach for thumbnail design tho)

"Why am I not getting any of the jobs I apply for as a thumbnail designer?" Yeah idk, maybe these comments: (all from a single post about hiring btw)

Pro Tip: When adding a guide over the thumbnail, make the color of the guide contrasting to the colors of the thumbnail. For Example: Thumbnail - green, blue, red, white-black Guide - bright pink

Found this under a post of someone hiring a thumbnail designer. This is probably the worst comment I have seen this week. Even worse than: "I specialize in creating high CTR thumbnails" "I can help with that, send me a DM" "What style and vibe are you aiming for?" What do you mean CTR focused? What does that mean? It's made to get a lot of views? Like every single thumbnail? Going to be posting more of these terrible comments under hiring posts because nobody is talking about them.
