1.Started my channel late 2021 made like 15 videos. 2020 I made like 120 videos. All in all, my total watchtime from a year plus of making vids and posting consistently every 2 or 3 days was 19k total views and 700 hours of lifetime watch hours. I almost gave up multiple times, but I always asked myself what would I do if I stopped KZread, you're just putting your opinion out there. That's what kept me going. February 2023 I had a video do 300k views as at the time of commenting and another about to do 100k. 2 videos gave me watchtime and subs I didn't have in a year plus of making content. Do not give up. You never know when your big break will come. Find a content you enjoy making and do it. 5 cheersK

Oh, this definitely. I spend a couple days on a few clips and never touch the video again until a few months later. This is why it takes months to do one single video for me

What I've learned is I feel there is some secret formula to these titles and thumbnails...Big text (less than 3 words), something eye-catching to go along with the text that makes you wonder... certain thumbnails I post just naturally do better, and I've learned to create almost all of my thumbnails in that similar way and now most of the videos do pretty well. There's definitely a trick to thumbnails that is learned with time!

Netflix’s data said that there is 2 huge factor to their thumbnails for shows. 1 is faces with emotion, 2 is having maximum 3 main subject on the thumbnail. I looked at your thumbnails and I think yours look like they use the second factor :D Btw I think the red cars and colour makes your thumbnails kind of uniq and more recognisable (as my first impression) What do you think of my observation? :)

Hey guys, could you give a quick idea on my thumbnails and how they look? I try to keep them as simple as possible

oooo I get told to plan the thumbnail and title first but my content is gaming so I don't actually know what I am going to be encountering in the game until it is happening. I barely script as my videos are quite casual and fun so I don't know how I would plan the game? I am assuming this third point might not apply to me, but I wonder how it might? Maybe going into a game with a purpose or goal in mind. 🤔🤔 thanks for the advice, I am understanding more and more that thumbnails and titles are essential and should work in tandem with one another! 🤩

Thank you so much! I’m a DJ starting to upload mixes and it’s been so disheartening so far barely getting any views after spending DAYS making a great mix with great visuals and thumbnail. Will keep the head down and take all these tips into account going forward. Hopefully I get them seen one day 😢🙏🏼

Yeah, I am trying to get better with my thumbnails. I think it’s because as a viewer, I look more at a title than a thumbnail. I need to put myself in the audience’s shoes. I did actually manage to hit the daily thumbnail limit you talked about in another video. I just changed one video’s thumbnail but uploaded two future scheduled videos and gave them thumbnails. However, once I tried to give a live stream a new thumbnail it wouldn’t let me until the next day, so I guess 3 is the limit. I never thought that would happen to me.

Great advice. I now make all thumbnails before I write the video. If I can't make a great thumbnail I don't make the video (as I have hundreds of topics to choose from).

I'm starting to get the hang of thumbnails and titles. My video shooting needs improvement, and so does my storytelling. I think this video is has me more interested in diving into the storytelling improvement I need. I do mostly how-to videos so it's not like a Mr. Beast storyline (honestly have never watched any of his videos but I know about them from channels that study his success). Anyway, you're presentation on this makes more sense to me than coming up with a "storyline." Thank you!

I've posted long term videos and got around 100 views up to 300, took a long break and now youtube shorts are the view catcher. I've been posting youtube shorts, and still don't get a lot of views, some being less than my long term videos. Hopefully we can all make it, and get through thisss. Continue all your fabulous editing and good luck 🥰🥰

Thank you for your tips and strategies! I guess I gotta work on better thumbnails and titles to make my channel better

The intro is totally my biggest hurdle! Once I get going into making the video, I feel I’m more comfortable and can really get going. But it’s that start that kills me. Oh well, gotta keep pushing and practicing.

Awesome video. Hope to gain some knowledge to help my other channel. But I have zero clue how to edit or splice videos, or even do animations. And the pea was moved to the bottom of the Sub display the second time. And then I saw it on the play button, but you pointed that one out.

For me and my channel at the stage it is, this is your best video so far Rob. Which is why I have stopped editing my next video and gone back to the thumbnail. Next year I take on a new member of staff purely for thumbnail creation.... ( My Son, who created my first 6 thumbnails that are still the best performing ones!! - He's got a certificate from big school in that sort of thing)

You nailed it!!! I have been spending double the time on my thumbs and titles, but...I see the value of spending even more. Thank you sir.

Dude, you are so so so so so right! I I’m in the process of reviving. My dad KZread channel had tremendous success based on eye catching engaging thumbnail, illustrations and catchy thought-provoking titles. It has made all the difference and I’ve got the analytics to prove it if you’re boring thumbnails I can tell you from personal standpoint, they do not work as well as when you spend time on it.

I released my first video and wondered what I could improve on. I found this video. I have a terrible thumbnail, long title and no impressions. Thanks for the advice. The content is pointless if you drag nobody in!💪

thumbnails are definitely my least favourite part of making a video, i usually end up chucking something together in under a minute and hoping it’s enough. going to try doubling that time to a *massive* two minutes of work haha. grateful for the timing of this video as i’ve started so recently:)

You shiuld definitely spend at least 10 minutes making and editing your thumbnail No Offense, but your thumbnails seem boring and bland, it makes me feel like I'm looking at thumbnails from 2014..which would've worked better then but it definitely doesn't now. What I suggest is spending your time in thumbnails and shoeing then to others for second opinions, maybe even watching a few videos on how to make a good thumbnail.

Video idea: "analizing the best thumbnails of the biggest channels across the communities" For example art channels - Zhc, LavenderTowne, Ethan Becker Gaming - Markiplier, Pewdiepie, Kubzscouts Etc. I realise that it's a difficult video to make but I Imagine it will prove to be of great value to all of us ^^

Great tips about that thumbnail. And the first 30 seconds!

I really appreciate this content. Our channel has been growing lately and I want to start making better thumbnails and intros even more now that I've watched this.

It's a real challenge to make it interesting for the viewer. I really appreciate the tips to help improve things.

Thanks for helpful tips I'll must apply while creating ❤

I guess it's really hard. I have a college degree and try to do a lot of research when also using my own experience to make self-improvement videos for young men. That is something a younger me would value a lot. I have long history of making videos as this was always my passion but when I see the few views my videos get, I kinda ask myself if it's really a wise thing to do and if I'm not just wasting time. Trust the process?

Doing most of the work on my old iPad mostly discouraged me from making actual thumbnails, so I always just went with a still from the video that looked ok. I have a few ideas for thumbnails of both past and future videos, but I’ve always been nervous at actually making them since I’m not sure how they will turn out and if they will be even half as good as what I originally thought of

Just do it. 🤷‍♂️

As someone whos been doing KZread for 2 years on and off there are a couple things that I think are very important. Consistency is key, find yourself a schedule. I've found that biweekly or once a month is the sweet spot for video uploads but it could depend on your content and energy. Niche is definitely important; as much as you want to do what you want it could be oversaturated leading to low views and engagement. Uniqueness; just like the last point if there's nothing that shines in your content compared to everyone else doing the same genre then it will be endlessly harder to get noticed, this was one thing that worked for me as no person in my niche did content of my caliber and style in terms of quality. Thumbnails as said in the video are very important, I usually take a picture of whatever is in my video and try not to make clickbait. If you follow these tips and put good work into your videos I can assure you that growth will definitely come your way!

Also depends on what type of content you create. Some topics are just going to be harder to become successful at it.

WE HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF SUBS

Watching this at 5 weeks old with 30 subs. The first week, I posted 4 videos and didn't touch my channel for weeks. I tried to do to many things at the same time. This week, I'm back again and to kind to make time for the missed weeks I've posted 12 videos just this past few days. I'm still learning to establish a schedule for content creation, research, marketing, optimization.

LOL, I made a thumbnail today for a video that I'm probably not recording for 2 months yet. Some really good tips, like making first 3 minutes better, I am new and finding all this quite hard.

The way I see it, you have to think of it as a journey for the viewer, as you mentioned, Rob, but between them first seeing the video thumbnail, going all the way to the moment they finish the entire video. Our goal as creators looking for growth should be to make that journey as easy as possible for the audience, and making it very simple to reach the end of that video for most viewers.

@@factsworld2990 yes my friend 💗

A lot of good info in this video for sure and things we will be changes and evaluating on your channels for sure. "Also the pea is by the subscriber counter on the fist move"

this was fantastic information - Thank you Rob!

Thanks for the info! Do you have a video like this for shorts, as they dont have editable thumbnails!

Having a niche is important, but I think having a niche in an esoteric industry is even harder. Even with hundreds of pieces of content. These instructional videos have been paramount in updating our KZread strategy, looking forward to implementing them as we move forward!

finally, an actual useful comment, the comment sections in videos like this keeps repeating the same old comments like "to anyone who's reading this ____________________" and it's getting annoying

Haha! Rob, you're a PRO at this! LOL! Yes, I agree. The title, thumbnail and the hook are crucial to the success of the video! I'm a new creator so I'm going to double down my efforts on those. Thank you for posting this video!

Nice Video, thanks for the good information. 😊

It’s hard being a small content creator, my thumbnails are just plain and simple, so no one is gonna click on it, but I should take some time on my next video in making my thumbnail instead of just getting an image from the video and making it the thumbnail, but limited on my resources so I gotta use what I have

3:30 That really helped put things into perspective about the importance of thumbnails.

I tried the simple thumbnails I got no where. I tried the thumbnail style I like personally and got no where. So I'll just stick with what I like and be happy that I'm not going to get anywhere. Great video though :)

ok bro

I know I'm very late to this video, but I'll definitely be using these going forward. Thanks so much!

Dang, this was a lot of good info in a relatively short video. Thanks so much!

I watch your videos religiously and find your advice very helpful. My biggest problem, nonetheless, is CONSISTENCY. I have a lot of video ideas but struggle a lot, when it comes to filming and editing (in other words, finishing the project and showing content to people). Any advice on the routine/mindset I need to adopt to help myself do some action? 😩 Thank you!

I am having this exact same problem right now! I’m trying to just focus on one video at a time but then I overwhelm myself wanting to do it all at once and nothing gets done :/.

Just do it 🤷‍♂️

The trick of moving the little thing around the screen and telling viewers to find it, causing them to rewind and spend more time on the video is a great tactic. Are the more videos with tips like that ?

Thank you so much. Your channel helped me a lot with understanding the KZread algorithm and the visibility of being on my channel about music and filmmaking.

Yeah, I have this problem too, but I didn't understand why my video got so much views, and, as you said, it was about the thumbnail. So thankyou!

i take 15 to 20 minutes making the thumbnail i take like 6 hours to edit ( including small breaks) and i will go through all the footage to see what i missed well i need to do it on time i am not consistent as i am a student and for school i need to take a lot of breaks so that's how i make my videos i film at night to avoid background noises btw
