Why your thumbnails are killing your channel

Stop doing this immediately...

The reason your videos aren’t getting views is because of your thumbnails 

Most people design thumbnails like they're creating a movie poster

Trying to cram everything into one image

But what actually works?

A thumbnail that can tell a story in 0.3 seconds

That's how long someone spends deciding whether to click

If they can't instantly understand what your video is about and why they should care...

They scroll past

Your thumbnail needs to pop on a phone screen, since most people watch YouTube on mobile

And if your text is too small or your colors blend together…

You're invisible

The best thumbnails make you feel something

Surprise, confusion, excitement, fear…

Anything that triggers an emotional response

Test everything

What works for one niche might bomb in another

And the only way to know is to test different styles and see what your audience responds to

Most creators upload a thumbnail and hope for the best

That's not a strategy

That's gambling…

But if you want someone to show you exactly how to review your thumbnails and how to improve them...

Along with your titles, scripts, and entire channel strategy...

Until tomorrow, 

Adam

P.S. Your content might be amazing, but if your thumbnail doesn't get the click, nobody will ever see it. This will help you fix that
