Film Booth – Thumbnail University 2023
Thumbnails are the single most important part of YouTube success.
It doesn’t matter how amazing your video is – if people don’t click your video, you’re not gonna grow and that’s why to me, they’re the number one thing to crack on YouTube.
But, it gets even crazier…
With sooo many competitors flocking to YouTube and mega creators dropping a cool $20,000 on a single image, how on earth are you supposed to keep up?
Well, you need a dynamic duo:
Killer skills to create ultra-clickable images
Feedback from others so you know what’s hot and what’s not
But here’s the thing: there hasn’t been a one-stop shop to learn all the ins and outs of effective thumbnail design, or a community of fellow YouTubers who really get what makes a thumbnail rock to provide feedback… until now.
That’s why I created Thumbnail University!
