Why Thumbnails Matter
Creating great thumbnails is often one of the most challenging aspects of being a YouTuber, but it’s also one of the most important. Here’s why:
- Thumbnails drive clicks: If viewers don’t click on your thumbnail, they don’t watch your video. It’s as simple as that.
- YouTube is competitive: With millions of creators competing for attention, thumbnails are your first opportunity to stand out.
- Missed opportunities hurt: Spending hours on a valuable video only for no one to watch it—because of a weak thumbnail—can be frustrating and demotivating.
This course ensures you no longer have to experience that heartbreak. Instead, you’ll learn how to create thumbnails that grab attention and help your videos—and your channel—thrive.
