Let's dissect this thumbnail from MrBeast's video, "Day 137: $10,000 Every Day You Survive In The Wilderness".

It works because it’s super eye-catching and dramatic.

You see him scared, clinging to a log with a bear nearby, which makes you curious.

The bold "DAY 137" text and vibrant colours really stand out and make you want to click to find out what happens.

Here's why mastering the craft of thumbnail creation is more crucial than ever:

Thumbnails are the first sales pitch: Before a viewer commits to watching any video, they’ll meet the thumbnail.

This tiny image can skyrocket the video views by enticing clicks with its visual story.

In fact, 90% of the top-performing videos on YouTube use custom thumbnails, according to YouTube itself.

But who creates these thumbnails? It’s not the CEOs—this work is usually outsourced to professionals.

Imagine tapping into this lucrative market without any prior design experience.

Sounds impossible, right❓

Wrong❗️

With AI-driven design tools at your disposal, anyone can create eye-catching thumbnails that compete with professional designers.

You can charge anywhere between $5 to $100 per thumbnail, depending on the complexity of the design and the client's budget.

And guess what, you can do all this in under 5 minutes that too from the comfort of your home!

Are you interested in taking up thumbnail creation tasks and making some handsome money out of it❓

Then watch this video by our expert Garima Bhayana where she will show you how to leverage AI tools like Thumbly.io, which creates stunning thumbnails with just a few clicks. In just a few minutes you’ll be able to create pro thumbnails. Imagine how many such thumbnails you can create and sell on platforms like Upwork and Fiverr!

And that’s not it.

Top 10 work-from-home assignments

As per FlexJobs 2023 State of Remote Freelance Jobs Report, here are the top 10 assignments:

If you can already perform any of the above assignments, you may be able to secure some initial projects if you build your track record and do outreach.

However, if you want a high inflow of work and consistent earnings, you might want to consider the roles below.

By volume, there are 3 types of roles that have the maximum demand today from startups across the world in remote mode.

👉 Startup generalist - Startup generalists are smart individuals with diverse skills that are very useful in an early stage startup.

As a startup generalist, your goal is to free up time of the CEO so that he/she can focus on business growth.

While a startup can have many people who work in specialised roles, nobody can substitute for the CEO when it comes to growth.

That is where a startup CEO needs a startup generalist.

Startup generalists need to have multiple skills like content creation, lead generation, operations, management.

The first 5-10 hires of a startup would likely be of generalists.

If you want to work as a startup generalist, you'll need to be able to do a bunch of things such as project management, basic digital marketing, sales, data analysis, and business development. You don’t have to do all of them though. Being able to do 3-4 of these things is quite good to go.

Normally it was a tough job, but with AI, it has become super easy to be a generalist!

Here is how much startup generalists earn in early stage US startups:

Imagine how happy a US startup CEO in early stage will be, if they can hire an experienced generalist like you, who can use AI to propel the business faster, for just 24,000 USD in a year, which works out to be way, way, way cheaper for them, while for you its pretty good salary.

And of course, as you prove yourself and the company grows, you can expect faster salary growth!

If you’d like to know more about this role and how to use AI to find clients and perform client work, join us in the bootcamp from 10-12 August, 2-5 PM IST.

👉 Virtual assistant and administrative support - Virtual Assistants and admin support professionals require no specific skill sets beyond English communication, ability to use computers and being diligent to carry out the tasks given to them.

A virtual assistant is like an upgraded secretary/executive assistant in the digital age.

Imagine things that a secretary or executive assistant in the past would do.

Booking travel, managing calendars, sorting & responding to mails, ordering stuff online, coordinating between different people, managing MIS, managing social media accounts, responding to customer support queries - none of these require people to be physically present.

Of course, today, a lot of this gets done through various kinds of apps. But who will run the apps and manage everything? Startup CEOs and busy professionals don’t have so much time.

They need someone to manage all of this.

Hiring people like that in the US or other developed countries is damn expensive. Look how much a virtual assistant in the US earns.

Since people got used to working remotely, they realised that a lot of this work can be done remotely - compared to the US or UK, remote workers in India or other developing countries charge a lot less!

If you want a simple, hasslefree easy job that pays well and is very predictable, then your choice must be virtual assistant and admin work.

While this may sound like a boring job initially, if you realise that you can earn more than a doctor earns in India by doing this work, would you still have a problem❓

If you realise that if you can do this work, build a good track record, you can easily get more and more clients, build a team to handle the extra work, and earn in crores, would you be open to that idea?

We will share more about this work in the bootcamp.

👉 Content creation - If you are a more creative person, you may choose to do content creation work.

- Content creation has quite a few subfields:
- Content writer, copywriter, content marketer
- Video producer and editor, instagram and youtube producer
- Infographic creators
- Podcast producer
- Graphic designer etc.

All these jobs are incredible, and you could earn upwards of $2000 per month working remotely.

If you are not earning enough in your current job, you must explore this.

You can even save many hours everyday which are spent travelling❗️

Even if you just work for a few hours everyday, you can still earn about INR 50K to 80K per month by working from home.

This is much more than what domestic employers pay full-time workers.

There is no need to sacrifice your career for personal reasons or to raise a family anymore, after remote work.

What do you think about this opportunity❓

Given a chance, will you go for one of these remote work opportunities❓

However, keep in mind that the more diverse your skill set is, the more attractive it is for startups to hire you.

You may not have expertise in any of these areas, but that is not an issue at all - you can learn how to do this work in 3-6 months.

You will need to invest 2 hrs/day of consistent effort to follow a specific roadmap. Are you interested in knowing more about it❓

Join us in our free 3-day, live online bootcamp on "Remote work revolution for women - How to land AI driven international remote job" from 10th - 12th August, 2024, 2-5 PM IST.

We will provide a detailed roadmap to do remote work. We show you how to find and pitch to foreign clients. We will also teach you several AI-related skills that you can use to perform real client assignments.

You will also meet some of our learners who have actually obtained such opportunities. Many of our bootcamp participants have obtained life-changing results, even if they didn’t pursue our courses.

How a mother of an 8-year old girl in Kolkata got INR 50K remote job with a UK startup

Munmun Kundu lives in Kolkata with her family and has 12 years’ experience working in a business development role, but lost her job in July 2022 as her employer wrapped up India operations.
 
She could work at the global back office in Chennai, but it was not possible for her to shift as she had her husband and daughter in Kolkata.  
 
She searched for 1 year, and obtained two opportunities in Kolkata, but they were paying very little in comparison to her previous job, and demanded a 6-day commitment to work from the office. 
 
She was losing her confidence.
