This advice was given to Yes Theory and Colin & Samir. If these two channels got value from these tips, I thought all creators would enjoy them. Both twitter threads are linked in the description above. In particular Yes Theory, used Mr. Beast's advice on a video that has been viewed 2.8 million times at the time of this video and also made it as high as 14 on the YouTube trending page. Tip number 1 that I gathered from these threads is to not waste any space in your thumbnails. The thumbnails are essentially a billboard for your video so every little bit of real estate on the thumbnail is valuable. Tip number 2 is to make sure you don't have any distracting backgrounds in your thumbnail. You want the focus of the thumbnail to pop off the image and if the background is too busy then it can distract from the impact. Tip number 3 goes along with tip 2, in that all of the interesting stuff in the thumbnail should be the focus. The focus of your thumbnail should be exactly what you are trying to show and should take up most of the space on the thumbnail. Tip number 4 is to use people's faces (your's or someone else's) on your thumbnail. Humans are naturally attracted to seeing other humans faces so as someone is scrolling down their YouTube home screen they are more likely to look at thumbnails with faces on them. Tip number 5 is to maintain some level of brand consistency between your different thumbnails. If you're thumbnails have a unique style or have something recognizable then people are more likely to click on your video if they have seen a similar thumbnail from you before. Tip number 6 is to make titles personal. The more personal the title, the more attracting it is to the viewer. People like to see someone go through something so using "I" in your title can make it more powerful. Tip number 7 is to make the title intriguing. Once again the title and thumbnail are your one chance to get someone to click on your video so you want to make it as intriguing as possible. Use intriguing words like abandoned or shocking to make viewers more curious. The last tip (#8) is to keep titles below 50 characters. Fifty characters is the maximum number of characters that will be shown on YouTube's home page on a mobile device. As most people watch YouTube on their mobile device, it is important to keep this character limit in mind. 💬 ADVERTISER DISCLOSURE 💬 This video may contain links through which we are compensated when you click on or are approved for offers.
