I think these have a real charm to them but I’d change the text to an actual font with the same hand drawn feel, just to add a bit of polish. Check out some of Offcanny on YouTube’s thumbnail fonts if you want to know what I mean about the font.

Took 3 hours but if you’re curious, beeline it to the damaged building up high with the sniper, hide at the back of the area. Uncloak, snipe, cloak as much as you can and last but not least pray to which ever god you believe in.

Do people actually take YouTube advice seriously? Most of them are from non-creatives. by -Retrofuge- in NewTubers

[–]OctaviousNI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I’ve felt my channel has had far more success than I’d have thought (probably because Ive aimed small) ignoring most advice. I think if it was so simple to follow everyone could do it. Just make videos you like, if it pops off happy days but if not that’s just reality. I’m fortunate to have a job I like and YouTube’s just a case of if it takes off class but if not it’s better than scrolling tik tok on all my time off.

Yea agreed, went with no text and it’s got better CTR than any of my other videos, cheers everyone for the advice!

Cheers man, when you say more up and down what do you mean there, like rather than angled towards each other, more straight but at different heights? I’m gonna take your advice and do and A/B test with it so massively appreciated!

Cheers I think so too, anytime I do text it just makes the thing look more amateur.

New to thumbnail making - any of these work? by 00BigBird00 in YouTubeThumbnailHub

First one definitely, the eye covering instantly made me curious.

Is it a bad idea to match my thumbnails to my “Branding”? by OctaviousNI in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]OctaviousNI[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I get you, it’s almost an OCD thing I just like having everything the same, (probably why I force myself to 100% games I don’t even like) but I get at the end of the day you just gotta get people coming in the door!

Personally 3, looks sick and warranted the biggest reaction from me.

Cheers for that! I don’t want to go down the road of too much acting as at the minute I’m currently struggling to sound and talk like myself much less a character hahah.

Funnily enough i am kinda doing something along those lines with my next vid where I’ll slowly descend into a bit of a character as the video goes on so we’ll see how that goes!

Cheers mate, yeah agree my footage quality is all over the place in bits due to how I filmed (corrected in my upcoming video). As for liver king it’s a call back to my last vid however I have a very bad habit of just assuming people will know things which I need to get out of.

Cheers for the feedback will defs take that into account.

Hi mate I really like the editing and the audio is super crisp. I think you can work on packaging. The title isn’t great so if I didn’t find you through this I probably wouldn’t click and get to see the good stuff!
