      Just something I noticed in the beginning the music and visuals picked up a bit too early and distracted me from what you were saying to the point where I actually didn’t hear it at all

    Hack 1: Use intrigue
    Hack 2: Challenge the viewer’s beliefs
    Hack 3: Use images of famous people
    Hack 4: To prevent clickbait, feature clips of said famous person at the start of the video
    Hack 5: Use contrast
    Hack 6: Keep to 3 main colours
    Hack 7: Test a few thumbnails / Use prediction AI Creator ML

    You know.. after watching a lot of these videos, I just noticed that its pretty similar to how we do icons for games in the app stores. Most of the times, the characters faces and objects with a light background, and the colors popping up are the ones that work the best.. and out of the 4 thumbnails you presented to the "judges" .. yours was the one that clearly had brighter colors, and a certain object could stand out pretty easily, and when looking at Jimmy's thumbnails and other examples , you can see very similar things as well.. interesting! ty for the videos they are great!

    Hi Ed, I think that’s not only I’ve been learning a lot from your videos, but I learnt a lot more on how to improve audience retention by studying your style! Thanks so much! I started few vids ago to add graphics on my videos, but more on a Finzar style. Hi Finzar 👋. But thanks to you I found out that memes aren’t really perfect for my audience so I now decided to film my Brolls and use something more standard. Although since the introduction of graphics my videos went from a record of %30 retention to %60+ on my last video 😮. Can’t wait to beat my own new record 😊.

    This is so true...I spend hours sometimes making various versions of my thumbnails to only then come up with totally different idea at the last minute and go with that.
    And amazingly, a great thumbnail on a "less than stellar" video will invariably outperform a mediocre thumbnail on a great video.
    So yeah, make better thumbnails! Easier said than done 😅

  • @GetIrked
    @GetIrked 10 місяців тому +2

    I know this is supposed to inspire me, Ed, but James put so much effort into the thumbnail that I'm exhausted at the idea of doing this for my channel.
    I am an expert in my field. I share my knowledge simply to help others. But the idea of spending hours and hours in a desperate attempt to get others to help themselves...
    ...
    God. I don't know. Maybe after 2+ years of beating my head against the UA-cam wall and still not getting monetized just trying to help others means I should just give up.
    After all, Diablo 4 and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom just came out.
    ...
    All my belly-aching aside, this was a positively fantastic video, gentlemen!

    That is such a crisp thumbnail. I would’ve definitely been on the fence about which one was made by Marques. Thumbnails are my weakest point and this is a reminder of how much work could go into making one. Not sure if I’m happy or sad about that but I am sure that I’m still learning and I’ve got a long way to go.
    Edit: oh and glad James didn’t have to get his ear pierced and lose his job

    Great video. Thank you. I started my channel in August and used Fiverr freelancers to make thumbnails and after a while I used the knowledge I built up as well as studying the designs of the freelancers' designs and started designing my own thumbnails. I'm not convinced my thumbnails create intrigue though but one thing I am very satisfied with is that it totally delivers on its promise. It means I have a pretty good retention rate because people get what they expect when they click. That's what has to be guarded against so I'm glad you touched on it. No point having a great CTR but dreadful retention.

    I love your videos and always learn new but I run a gaming channel so sometimes the tips in the videos don't feel quite as relevant because filming people is different than recording in-game footage. Some of the concepts still apply but it would be really cool to see your take on editing gameplay videos and thumbnails even if it's not something you're as experienced with. You likely know some big gaming channels that you could possibly collaborate with. Thanks for the amazing content! Big fan!
