    I'm not even doing YouTube anymore and yet Ed makes me click every time. Proof that he knows what he's doing.
  • That’s great advice. Especially the split testing. If you are a smaller channel DON’T DO SPLIT TESTING. I had videos crash and burn because of it. Do it but manually if your impression are slow. I will go back and change some thumbnails right now. Thank you
  • What about the click bait quality of creating cognitive dissonance? does it reduce trust in you and your channel? Great tips about short, 4 word text in high contrast, and matching facial expressions. Great tip about taking batch facial expression pics. Thanks.
  • Thank you Ed, yet another video that actually delivers usable value and is enjoyable to watch

    Always amazes me how much information you can pack into a 6 minute video, Ed :)

    As always, very good and valuable stuff. Thank you so much, Ed!!!

    I have a spreadsheet. That tells me which videos have done a lot better than other videos, including the thumbnail and tile. So I tried what you were saying and instead of getting around £9 to £12 RPM per video, I got £5. I will admit I did get more views, but the video has not taken off. I'm still of the opinion that keeping a spreadsheet of your best thumbnails and titles is the way forward.

    My thumbnails are so bad. 🙈😭 I always use screenshots from the video. However I think the text is simple so there’s that. 😂Great video!
  • @RodDandyGolf
    Very good actionable info!! I’ve been working on a golf channel for several months, this is helpful.

    Can you do a video on setting up your own photo shoot? All the things I would need in order to have a photo gallery like yours?
  • @MattMcGurk
    Juat awesome as always! Love this. Effeciancy and effectivness, the perfect combo. Making thumbnails is the one thing I dread when creating content. This is an brilliant framework that will simpllfy the process and create more time for creating content. Thanks so much!
  • @Just_NickyT
    This was very helpful that I had to watch it twice. Time to take lots of photos
  • Curious if you have any advice on the accompanying title for this kind of thumbnail?
