Hi everyone I’m new to this freelance community and just starting my journey. I don’t have any freelancing skills yet, but I’m really motivated to learn. Right now, I’m a bit confused about which skill to choose — Meta ads, video editing, or maybe some other beginner-friendly skill. I’d really appreciate your suggestions and guidance on what would be best to start with.

📌 Focus: YouTube Video Editing (A Confused but Aware Day) Aaj jab Fajr ke baad 6:30 baje soya lekin ajeeb khayalaat ane ki wajh se so nahi paya. phir 8:00 AM tk nashta krke final so gya. 2:00 baje aankh khuli, 6 ghnte ki neend. Neend poori nhi lag rahi thi, timing ne poora system bigaad diya tha. Dhuhr parhi, lekin dimagh abhi bhi dheema aur bhari sa tha like dimaag abhi bed pe hi reh gaya ho. 3:00 baje lunch aur chai hui. Thori der lag gayi khud ko warm-up karne mein. 3:30 se 4:30 ke beech desk pe baitha aur YouTube video edit ki. Basic cuts, pacing aur unnecessary cheezein nikaalne pe focus tha. Is ek ghante mein kaam theek hone lga mujhe neend feel hona bnd hoi, chai ki den. 5:00 Asr ke baad rishte daar ke ghar gaya. Maghrib 6:00 baje hui. Namaz ke baad dobara waps apne ghr aya. editing shru kri, usse phle mein kuch kr pata, 7:00 bj gaye ICE Coaching Center chla gaya. Wahan dost se mulaqat hui. Baat-cheet zaroori thi, lekin time limit nahi thi — aur wahi masla ban gaya. 11:00 tak wapas aaya. Isha parhi, dinner kiya aur phir ek baar aur edit karne baitha. I don't know why but raat ko hi focus aur ideas 100% hota ha. 12:00 baje ke baad Skool Community pr Post write kri. and abhi agey mein editing hi krunga... I, Think! Reflection: Aaj ka din sleep ne pehle hi half maar diya. Kaam hua, lekin again tukron mein. Din boht chhota lgta ha, shru hote hi khtam. 🎯 Outcome: Video Almost Complete ha Sound Designing Baki Ha. Ye din guzra hai, jeeta nahi gaya.

we were given an assignment in graphic beetles group to create a youtube video thumbnail. Following is are the instructions given by one of the member: How to Scale Your Coaching Business to $10k/Month Your task is to design an attention-grabbing YouTube thumbnail for this title. Guidelines: You may generate or use an AI-generated person in the thumbnail. Study thumbnails of top creators like Iman Gadzhi and Ali Abdaal to understand what’s currently working. Focus on: Clear facial expression Strong contrast and clean colors Minimal but bold, high-impact text on the thumbnail The thumbnail text should be short, clear, and curiosity-driven (not the full title). You can use any software (Photoshop, Canva, Figma, AI tools, etc.). Goal: The thumbnail should instantly grab attention and make someone want to click. I have created some thumbnails using AI , kindly members leave here your honest reviews and suggestions regarding thumbnails. @Maria Ijaz @Jia Ch @Sobia Nazik @Eman Nemat @Anoosha Rafi @Amber Naz @Rahila Khursheed @Yusra Zia @Rukhsar Habib @Komal Ramzan @graphic beetles
