The rate of these videos being published is insane. These videos aren't random, badly made videos that some people post. Every one of these videos is high quality, useful and a masterclass in a topic about video creation.
1:09 Connect with audience 1:18 Emotion 2:29 Easy to read, four words 3:06 Large Fonts, Fonts on the left side 3:42 The Thumbnail should evoke emotion, different from the title 4:39 Take pictures of yourself and your Instagram background, take a screenshot from the video, and create a template in canva.
7:06 Your content is just like everyone else’s that’s posing on these same topics… except that it’s precise, practical, and actionable. You are very good at what you do ❤
I don't care what the content is, a rule I have is to NEVER click on a fake thumbnail - when the creator looks like they're in shock, surprised, over the top.
Hey Virginia! Two things.... on your thumbnails, something (anything) showing you smiling automatically gives you at least 30 seconds. Very pretty with a nice smile! Also, your comments about larger fonts on the thumbnail that can be read on a cell phone is the BEST ADVICE EVER? Anybody with less than perfect vision will skip small text! I do!!
Virginia!!! You are on Fire!!! I truly believe that this series was a Devine Download from The Lord!!!! No kidding. Answered prayers for me! You have made it simple, understandable, I’ve learned more from you in one week than I have in the past year. Thank you ❤
Virginia, you've done it again 🎉. Detailed guide, powerful presentation, high tech visuals, all these make your videos interesting to watch. Your contents are always awesome 💯
I love, love this challenge! I’ve been dragging my feet to get started for years (so embarrassing), but i keep getting hung up on all the details and the process. This is the BEST content on content creation. I love how you film while going about your day. Thank you for all you do!
"Thank you, Virginia. Your tutorial has been a huge help for someone like me who is just starting out. Among all the tutorials about thumbnails, I found yours the most enlightening." watching from philippines.
I spend a lot of time on my thumbnails (usually). I think the most time I spend is not being able to choose what I want to use because I like so much of what I am doing. I have the problem of information overload. I want to put so much in the thumb I have tried to teach myself to tone it down some. But as I said, I love my subject matter and it's hard to decide my approach. It might take me 3 hours to make a thumb...I am a new sub to your channel and even though I have 18 years of youtube experience I have found your tips to be very useful and I am taking notes...I would love to talk to you someday!
Super helpful! Just found your channel and you're rockin' it out! Some things are super obvious, but I appreciate hearing them so I don't have to do the mental figurings myself and just fast track my success. THANK YOU!

Past few months I’ve been doing your 3rd option which is simply taking a pic from the video I just made. I’ve also been placing on right side to make room for words on left side. You mentioned UA-cam puts stuff on right side which I never thought about. I try to limit words from Mr beast tutorials. And NEVER say the same thing in thumbnail and title. Good stuff in this video
Wow, thank you so much for sharing how to quickly create a thumb nail. I didn't know that there were programs that automatically remove the backgrund. I once sat on Photoshop for 2 to 3 hours to crop out my face for a thumbnail 😁. What's also very admirable about you is how you get most important things straight to the point!
a few days ago I watch this... used it and it works wonders... found out how to do thumbnails from video itself... and ad text... am using Premier Pro for editing ... THANK YOU FOR ADVISE... also the other video on uploading .. you adviced to upload with the actual title of the video... great... makes sense THANK YOU... now I need to learn how to both voice over and to just comment keeping orinal sound... HOW TO ?????

Thankyou so much. Your tutorials are really easy to follow and straight to the point. I've come to a halt unfortunately, but after viewing your videos, I've now gone through all my reels etc and back on track! Thankyou so much :)
I've recently been despairing about my thumbnails. They *seem* fine, but my videos aren't being shown widely...so *something* is up! I don't make advice videos, so I know it's always going to be a bit harder, but still...273 videos in I sometimes feel like it's a waste of time. I'm going to keep watching your videos and trying your suggestions, and just wanted to say thanks again for all this wonderful advice.
I have been dabbling in a few UA-cam videos, mostly things I like and have done. Getting close to retirement I'm looking for ways to supplement my income, your videos are inspiring and easy to follow. I found myself adding your videos to one of my saved playlists, then I thought just subscribe to the channel... duh! thanks Virginia
I have been watching your tips on video etc. I have a channel but recently I had to retire early at 61 due to mental illness. I started working on my bikes and using this to build up my old channel in the hope to be able to sustain my retirement. Thanks for the helpful work you are doing, I'm hoping it will help boost my channel. Cheers Dan
Virginia I love you so much right now! You just saved me so much time! I had know idea my iPhone had that feature of removing the background so quickly. What a time saver!
I just discovered your channel and, so far, am both learning and getting inspired. I stepped away from my channel for a year and am starting it up again. Your videos are just what I needed. Thank you!
I am really loving these videos. I haven't started my channel yet, but with this series I have already scripted 4 videos and plan on recording very soon.
Young lady, you have made my world so much easier. I didn't know it was so easy to create thumbnails, especially for Instagram. I always wondered about that. Thank you soo much!!
@Virgina. Thank you for this valuable and timely nudge to overhaul the rather boring thumbnails that I create for UA-cam and LinkedIn posts. My biggest takeaway is, "Don't use the title of the video on the thumbnail!" Your advice helped me finally decide to stop including my guests' headshots on my thumbnails. I have been including my guests' photos to promote them as well. It's taking up valuable real estate, and there's no return on the investment on all the work I put into customizing to include the guest. I noticed that you do not change your podcast thumbnail for each episode. I am going to embrace this time-saving best practice as well. Could you please comment on the use of intro/outro screens? There seem to be very different opinions and contradictory advice, particularly on the intro. You might have created a video on this topic already, but I cannot find it at the moment.
This is super helpful. I especially liked the Canva template ideas, and the use of the iPhone Sticker feature for consistency. Thanks for sharing this. :-)
I'm an overthinker for sure. But your videos are definitely helping me to move through the video making and posting process faster. I hate making thumbnails and I have to admit it took up way too much of my time. I use Canva and have a free pro account as an educator. Going to definitely start using that screenshot method and 4 words or less!👍
Your videos are now helping me generate titles much easier, and now the thumbnails. I feel confident I will start growing my channel from zero. Thank you ❤❤

Here is one thing I’ve learned from watching your channel, you show up, tell us what to expect and then deliver. It’s great.
Haven't done much with my channel, but now I'm trying to up my game. Really appreciate your sharing the knowledge.
1:09 Connect with audience
1:18 Emotion
2:29 Easy to read, four words 3:06 Large Fonts, Fonts on the left side
3:42 The Thumbnail should evoke emotion, different from the title
4:39 Take pictures of yourself and your Instagram background, take a screenshot from the video, and create a template in canva.
Copy and paste this into your summary :)
7:06 Your content is just like everyone else’s that’s posing on these same topics… except that it’s precise, practical, and actionable. You are very good at what you do ❤
This Is Virginia Kerr, you're making UA-cam a better place
Awwww you made me smile. Thank you!

Brilliant insight! Knocked it out of the park.

I started my 7 day challenge today! Not a lot of views today, however I hope the algorithm catches on.😊

I've found that your #3 suggestion is best for me, taking a screenshot and using Canva for the graphics. Keep the tips coming!
Yes it’s the fastest. I hate taking my picture 🤣
