💠What has been your biggest struggle with getting your thumbnails clicked on YouTube?

➤ One major thing I am personally working on is trying to connect both the thumbnail and title together without them actually repeating one another. The one thing I always try to keep in mind is the thumbnail makes them stop scrolling and the title intrigues them to watch.

✅The videos you will find on this channel are similar to videos you will find on channels like Nick Nimmin and VidIQ. Also there are a lot of themes and influence from creators like Film Booth, Channel Makers and Reberto Blake.

Good video man. I love the affinity products. Such a great set of apps. I like your overlays. They are very clean and professional. I think the components you mentioned that were also mentioned by Sam was better covered in your video. So great job!!

Does anyone know where i can find the click-through rate picture to add on my thumbnail? Im looking for the actual picture of the rate

Why do you make your Thumbnail slides at 720p (1280x720) rather than 1920x1080 when your videos are at 1080p?
