Day 1
A thumbnail is an advertisement for a video...
These thumbnails both have a benefit-
These thumbnails promise topics-
The videos with
benefit thumbnails did between
5-10x More Views
than the topic thumbnails.
Why?
People don’t click out of interest
they click out of
self interest
a good thumbnail:
Makes the benefit
obvious.
If it doesn’t:
People won’t wonder,
they’ll keep scrolling.
Tomorrow:
one of the easiest thumbnail fixes
…the junior mint rule.
