I frequently change my title and thumbnail if I'm getting a low CTR. Most of the time, it helps the performance of the video. Sometimes, I change it in the first few hours, sometimes it's days or weeks. HOWEVER, I've had videos with low CTR's for months, and then one day the video was discovered, and the CTR doubled or tripled, without me ever changing the title or thumbnail at all. It's hard to know sometimes WHEN to change a title or thumbnail, but a lot of times you just have to go with your gut.

This actually worked. From 5.6% to 9.6% when I change the thumbnail. We can do this, it works.

[fishfarmhunt]

Thanks for all the great advice you and the team provided

[pointandshootvideo]

What's needed is a tool that can take the title, thumbnail text, and video transcription - and compare that against the CTR of other videos on the same topic and score it accordingly. That's a multi-million dollar income generating tool if you can find someone to partner with to develop it. 😉

I finally found a good time and video to try this on; my click-through rate was lower than normal, about 2.8%, so I changed the title. Two days later, it's at 4% click through rate with a whole lot more impressions! The impressions graph went significantly up shortly after the title change. Still room for improvement but it's awesome to actually try these things out and see results! Thanks for the advice!

Really struggling with ctr.. regularly getting sub 0.5% on videos that I feel I put a lot of research into the title and thumbnails.. can't figure it out 😢

[RickStorm]

Good informative vid, no doubt, i loved the way you said at the beggining that this video isn't for begginers... Man, amazing way to rise your retention.

I was searching on how to increase my crt for weeks, until i stumbled across this video that was exactly what i needed. Thank you!❤

[tkmindfulmusic]

Thank you for your advice and strategies! I will try to do based on your strategy..

[BruBuilds]

I heard changing a title to often can confuse the YouTube algorithm, is this true? I like the idea of making a good performer better, 80/20 rule, but I've been too cautious to attempt that.
Thanks for the tips.

[johnclay]

powerful video certainly a informative one on CTR

[royalsquadhaiti]

Thank you for the great tips needed to watch this video.

Hi Think Media team. Can you please help me (suggestion) fix an issue:

1. My key light is lighting up the background and I am not able to keep it dark so that the complete focus (vibrancy of lights) is on my face.
2. Also, I shoot during afternoon with curtains so light do enter my room too

How can I fix this? I am a regular follower and a big fan of your work, if possible please share some thoughts on this.

[millionairemom]

love this! thanks a lot for explaining figures which i hate!

[strikeYT]

I always look at your channel when l need help 🎉

[PokeTrainerPat]

Lately my impresion CTR has been going from 4% to lately a low 1.4%-1.8% :/ hoping to get these back up after watching a few and learning more! Keep going everyone, don’t give up!

[weddingproceo]

Is it a recommended practice to post the same video at least twice and change only the title and thumbnail? Then check impressions and CTR?
