Content creator seeking a thumbnail designer specialized in car games

Real-time members get requests like these by email within minutes of posting.

How it works

Three steps. No dashboard to babysit.

1

We watch X, around the clock

Every few minutes we search X for YouTubers, streamers and brands asking to hire a thumbnail designer or artist.

2

We throw out the noise

Designers advertising themselves, job boards, AI thumbnail tools and copy-paste fake listings never reach you.

3

You reply first

You get an email with the link, a one-line summary, the budget and a draft reply. Edit it, send it yourself, win the job.

Why it's different

Built so the leads stay worth having.

One niche only

YouTube, stream and game thumbnails. Not a generic freelance feed with your requests buried between logo and web jobs.

Sellers and fakes filtered out

More than half of the posts about hiring a thumbnail designer are designers advertising themselves. We drop those, plus job boards and fake listings. You see buyers.

Capped at 30 seats

We stop selling at 30 paid seats per niche, so a lead reaches a handful of agencies, not a swarm.

FAQ

Questions designers ask.

Is this allowed on X?

Yes. We read public posts through X's official, paid API and send you a link plus our own summary. We never copy the post, never collect profiles, and never reply, DM or like for you. You reply yourself, from your own account, like any other person who found the post.

How fast are the alerts?

We check X every few minutes and email you as soon as a request passes the filter. The free digest is sent once a day with the previous day's requests.

What counts as a lead?

A YouTuber, streamer, channel team or brand asking to hire or pay someone to design thumbnails: YouTube videos, streams, Roblox or Fortnite maps. Not designers advertising themselves, job-board reposts, AI thumbnail tools, jokes or recycled fake listings. Each lead is marked hot, warm or plain based on budget and how concrete the request is.

How does the free trial work?

Real-time is free for 7 days. We ask for a card at checkout so the seat is held for you, but nothing is charged during the trial. Two days before it ends we email you a reminder with the date and a cancel link. If you do nothing, your card is charged $39/month from day 8. Cancel before then and you pay nothing. One trial per person.

Can I cancel? What about refunds?

Yes, anytime, in one click: every alert email and your account page have a cancel link that opens Stripe's secure billing page (or use Manage or cancel at the bottom of this site and we'll email you the link). Cancel during the trial and you're never charged. After that, you keep access until the end of the month you paid for and won't be charged again. For a refund request or any billing question, email support@getcutbell.com and a person will answer.

Payments are processed by Stripe and billed by Novus Ordo, Cutbell's parent company; your statement shows CUTBELL.

Why only 30 seats?

A lead is only valuable if you're one of a few people replying. Capping each niche keeps it that way. When it's full, new sign-ups go on a waitlist.

Do you write the reply for me?

Each alert includes a suggested reply as a starting point. Edit it, add a relevant sample, and post it yourself. We never post anything on your behalf.
