Dave Maze. He used to be on EOSHD forum and I remember his post where he said he was going to start a channel. he was a magician if I remember correct. It never really hit off for him, he got robbed at one point, changed his name to this and then sold his channel. Then he pops up as a thumbnail guru lol. Respect man, this guy is an OG of youtube
Great video, I never knew that thumbnails can help so much with gaining popularity... but I guess you learn every day as a content creator. Nowadays though I believe that the best option, for going viral as soon as possible, is to start doing more Shorts. People don't have attention span for anything longer, so I try creating expressive and concise content (and after I post it, I use a lot of Famester to make it go viral and the content gets spread out literally everywhere. It works on other platforms as well).
That's not true though. There are podcast channels that are getting hundreds of thousands and millions of views within a week. And these channels are growing as fast as any other channel out there. "Jordan Peterson", "Chris Williams", "The Diary of a CEO". Even Mr. Beast has tons of viewers and his videos are way longer than shorts. Not to mention, people often buy books in which it is impossible to get through if you don't have an attention span beyond that of a short. In addition, people watch movies and tv shows on Netflix, Hulu, etc that are 30 minutes or longer. So you have to re-evaluate this false thinking
This was Gold! Linking Title, Thumbnail, and first 5 seconds together seems easy but it makes you rethink the whole vid really. Damn time to remake thumbnails and retitle lol
Just have a blk image and the word click in white. Small yt channel did this and gotten over 3m views as of yesterday after a monh un. Channel avg was 5k ish views u till that vid.
I didn’t even know what a thumbnail was but kept hearing about how IMPORTANT it was. Ya, total newbie here. Thank you both for the great questions n great answer. Looking forward to more. New follower!
my take away from this is the first 5 seconds pay-off that should immediately display what the thumbnail shows before starting the actual video. also, how to position assets: if the creator is famous, to the left or dead center. if it's best to show the content first, the creator to the right. learned so much. thanks.
Pivotal information for me as a new creator at the very beginning of my journey. I’m hoping to do stuff as right as possible in the beginning. This is definitely helpful.
Thank you very much for your videos, which are always of the highest quality! You get straight to the point without wasting time on useless things, it's really nice! Keep it up, don't change a thing!
What a great video and thanks for sharing. I am still learning about thumbnail design and still atrocious at it. Anyhow, I compare my current thumbnails to how they were and I am very pleased with my progress.
I realize that you may have covered this in another video, but I am puzzled by something which should be simple. I created a still thumbnail in Canva, and wanted to upload it to my RU-vid channel. The problem I encountered was that RU-vid would not accept the still. It wanted a video. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Can you help explain why ProZD or Sam Sulek's thumbnails work? ProZD has said he just uses one of the three suggest thumbnail options from RU-vid for all his videos, and Sam's are just a frame from his video, not from the intro for the instant payoff. Why do their thumbnails work and should I use the same thumbnail styles as them?
I launched my first video last week. I can relate that I copied the title in my thumbnail which is wrong. I will make sure to not do it again from the next video.😊
Until I figured out how to edit thumbnails on my other channel (Christian based) in 2017, some RU-vid employees used to take my preaching videos and find the one screenshot that made it look like I was sucking on a microphone or some stupid crap like that... just because my channel was Christian. They had a laugh out of it, I'm sure. But when I sent a letter to my lawyer about it, that crap stopped, almost. Then they started doing it on this channel because they figured out it is me... and I had to tell my lawyer about it again. This channel is based and originated in Mexico but my lawyers are in Los Angeles. I could give two crapd if RU-vid ever works for me. But I don't need RU-vid employees trolling me at every turn.
i hate how focused the beginning is on AI. the development and training of those programs steals and disenfranchises real people working in art,photography, graphic design and other fields. I would much rather learn about processes that take real effort and skill instead of having a machine scrape someone elses work
kinda rude that nolan keeps typing and doing other things while a guest is talking that think media themselves invited like bruh show some respect. example: 24:39
No, not really, if they allow it, but of course, just remember to write a disclaimer, saying the AI image belongs to the original developers. It will be nonsense if AI developers refuse to let users use their AI generated image. Is win-win for both users and developers.
I've been an artist in Hollywood for about 5 years, I use AI and I feel that anyone that's not leveraging it is missing out and may even fall behind. You sound like the students at art school that refused to use photos in ur artwork because of pride. Is ai 100% replacing my art? No, I use it for certain processes like ideation or rigging or retopology.
Super unhelpful....my God, give us something that normal people can do. OK, show us more composition samples and not just talk about it. Study art? And then use AI?
You can apply these techniques in something like Canva. Take his theory and create in a simple tool you know how to use and you will get the result you want.
I like using AI to generate ideas but rarely uses it to generate a product for me. It lacks authenticity. But as a way to spitball ideas it works really well for that.
