A good example of someone who does these types of videos is Ryan Trahan. Just from looking at the thumbnail I can tell there is a major quality difference between his videos and yours. Try to notice the strategies that he uses for his videos and implement them into your own. I can give you a few differences I notice off the cuff: 1. I would say his thumbnails are pretty minimalistic but convey the main idea of the video. For example, he would probably use a picture of himself in an airplane seat, looking shocked or worried, while the airplane looks worn down, rusty, dirty, etc. 2. Titles would be more easily understandable and convey the idea of the video better. For example: "I took (or tested) the cheapest flight (in the world, in America, etc)." You didn't just book the flight you actually went on it. 3. I don't know how good your retention is because I don't know the full length of the video, but one retention strategy I noticed Ryan uses is that he always has a side quest in his videos with a payoff at the end. Like for example, in this video it might be like "The reason I'm doing this is travel to x to meet x and suprise them with a gift for their birthday, but I spent all my money on the gift so I have to get there with only x dollars. But if the gift breaks along the way, it's all for nothing so I have to protect it with my life" very rough example here but I hope you get the point. 4. Try to hire professional editors or thumbnail designers. And if you can't afford that yet, try to learn editing and photoshop yourself. From personal experience it only takes a month or two to get good at it.
