There's a simple 3 part method for creating clickable thumbnails on RU-vid. Thankfully, it can be used by anyone... in just a few minutes. For the free resource: paulrichardson.me/thumbnail
Having recently improved the thumbnails on my own channel, I would say that good thumbnail designs get clicks. Went from 1K avg. to 20K views in two weeks. I would say that a picture paints a thousand words, so what words did you just choose to say through the imagery? My subscribers doubled in the same two weeks because my content interested them, but the thumbnails and titles is what brought them into the channel room. My watch time went from 1,015 in 52 weeks to 1,135 in 2 weeks (all videos reuploaded that last year's watch time doesn't count in the earning hours towards 4,000, so it's a fair comparison of Then vs. Now.) Death to a name brand development is looking like everybody else's name brand design, or not having a name brand design. Can you spot your own thumbnails in a crowd? I can now. I'll bet other people can, too. What brought me in here was the title. Curiosity. I'm always looking for ways to improve and I like hearing other people's points of view. The thumbnail imagery for this video was generic, everybody's thumbnail looks like that nowadays that it's like the Valu-brand packaging on a grocery store shelf. It's so overdone that it's become rather ordinary and plain, not the attraction hook. I breeze past the imagery and go straight to the titles, then click on what interests me. Good luck to you.
Hi! It looks like you are very good youteber. Previously I watched your video about how over time youtubers can get depresed e.c. Your videos are very profesional. Whrn I saw your subscriber count and views I thought you curently dont get what you deserve. Keep push I hipe some of your videos will blow up!🫡❤️
thumbnails don’t grow channels. Because, thumbnails can only drive a click, or a view. But, how often have we heard ‘watch time’ .. thumbnails and titles … over rated, misunderstood …. what matters is getting viewers to click and STICK.
Sure, there's many components to growth. But like you said.. The viewer needs to "click and stick". If you don't get the click, you'll never get them to stick.. No matter how good the content is :)
