    THANK YOU so much for this video. I just started my channel two weeks ago and I'm trying to eventually get monetized. I only have 17 subscribers right now, but I feel so much better about my page when I see the new thumbnails I've put together with the guidance you provided in this video. I left up my old ones from before I came across this video because I want to always be able to see my progress. You have really helped me!

      Also not sure if you can do the same on android, but on iPhones you can long press on the subject of a photo to select it, then I just copy and paste the subject (for my thumbnails, a pic of me) and email to myself so I can upload it to Canva.

      I usually use canva for different fonts, text styles and etc but regularly the app I use is InShot because of the free background removal but I’ll definitely look to making a video when trying to capture myself for a thumbnail picture with multiple angles to choose from instead of taking a plain picture

  • @dogsarethebestfriends
    @dogsarethebestfriends Рік тому +35

    Great tips and ideas! Helps to see how simple it really can be.
    I believe the only thing left out is that you need to check copyright for the photo from Google. Remember that Google (and any search engine) just finds you pics from other websites.
    It could be copyrighted and the owner might not appreciate it being used. Best to check where the pic came from and also give credit in the description. Canva might have a decent pic too - couldn’t hurt to check their stock photos.
    Had to say it because… educator here 😅
