vidIQ + Canva + ChatGPT = The Ultimate YouTube Thumbnail Workflow (See How I Do It!)

In this episode of Social Media & AI Shortcuts, I’m walking you through my new Power Combo workflow for creating YouTube thumbnails. It’s fast, easy, and super effective—combining vidIQ for idea generation, Canva for visual design, and ChatGPT for polish and strategy. I’ll show you exactly how I use this system to make scroll-stopping thumbnails that save time and increase views. We’ll also cover a handy formatting tip from my friend Rachel for adding bold or italic text to your social posts using YayText.com. And Barb guides us through Meta’s new policy on unoriginal content and its implications for anyone publishing on Facebook. Whether you’re a content creator, entrepreneur, or just trying to keep up with the latest tools, you’ll walk away with actionable tips to improve your workflow and protect your content online. 💬 Got questions or thoughts to share?
