Comprehensive YouTube Growth & Thumbnails

I need a seasoned YouTube strategist to map out a complete, actionable plan that covers both long-form videos and YouTube Shorts from concept to release. Your roadmap should show me exactly what to post, when to post it, and how to package every video so it earns clicks and watch-time. My priorities are clear: grow subscribers quickly, keep viewers engaged, and drive more views across the board. To achieve that, I’m after a strategy that mixes smart keyword research, strong storytelling structures, retention tactics, and visually striking thumbnails that stand out on any device. Deliverables I expect: • A 90-day publishing calendar detailing topics, formats, and recommended upload cadence for long-form and Shorts • Keyword and SEO blueprint for each planned video, including title and description suggestions • Hook outlines and retention cues to improve average view duration • Custom thumbnail designs (initial templates plus three finalized examples) with PSD/AI source files • Engagement playbook covering calls-to-action, community posts, and comment strategies • Success metrics and checkpoints so I can track subscriber, view, and engagement gains over time If you’ve scaled channels before and can combine data-driven insights with creative thumbnail artistry, I’d love to see how you’d tackle this project.

Compensation

will be based on results like improved CTR, Retention, Watch time and not just a plain AI developed scheduling calendar.
