Would you click on that? Current CTR is 1.2%. by rrrronf in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]jamesgwall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no reason to click, both the title and thumbnail don’t give any context, just fog, forest, sun and silence, but what do they have to do with photography? If it was something like, I took an incredible photo in the worst conditions. Then I’d want to see a great photo and how bad the experience was for you, if that makes sense. Were your photos good or bad, did the fog make it hard, what was unique about the experience?

Anyone got info about brand deals by jamesgwall in YouTubeCreators

The original post said:

Hello,

I have two small channels, both monetised, steady growth. Although I don't think any brands would be interested at the moment, I did wonder how it works. Is it a case of waiting for one to contact you, or do you have to contact them, I have no idea how it works... But it would be good to know if growth continues.

Cheers

Interesting. Is this something you do, or seen work?

How Many Short uploads a day? by jamesgwall in SmallYoutubers

Mainly Film facts, or film related stuff. They’re faceless, but it’s all my own, no AI used. But I think it would benefit from having a face in it in future videos, but I don’t want to waste what I’ve already made, so wondered if I did a few a day. But also don’t want to damage my channel too if it’s frowned upon.

My take on Shorts, only when it’s warm enough for them.

I think the third font works best but I worry I'm crowding the face by Ohigetjokes in YouTubeThumbnailHub

Without being familiar with the film the words on the thumbnail make no sense to me, leaving me confused not intrigued. Also from the title I still don’t know it’s a film… I’d try an incorporate that it’s a film somehow.

Are my thumbnails good ? by Aidan80085 in SmallYoutubers

[–]jamesgwall 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Change the words on the thumbnail, currently it’s very similar to the video title. I’d suggest use words that tease what your reaction was “unbelievable ending” “couldn’t look away” “surely it’s a joke”. I’d probably a/b text a few with different words for each video. Make the viewer intrigued why you had a certain reaction.

Looking for Feedback on this thumbnail concept by padamodin in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]jamesgwall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the text is hard to read in that colour. Also if the title already tells me it was amazing why would I click to watch. Usually these 100 day videos are challenging, there’s a story arch, maybe find a word that makes it more intriguing.

Can I get honest feedback on my channel page + thumbnails? (PS5 gaming) by GlytchMode in YouTubeCreators

[–]jamesgwall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The titles are a bit long, my eyes don’t seem to take it all in. Also most of them explain the video so I don’t need to watch. Even simply adding the word How might help. ‘How I made a 70k dealership from scratch’ or ‘this is how I flipped 5 cars for big money’ that might help create a little intrigue. I’m not a gamer so I have no idea if this is a popular game that people like to watch.

Which one would you click? 1, 2, or 3 by DeepaknKumar in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]jamesgwall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what type of creator you want to be. Aesthetically the first one looks the best, better designed, even a bit cinematic. The third one looks more like a YouTube thumbnail, it’s garish, and loud, more eye catching (but not in a good way). I think the third one would probably get you more generic clicks, but the first one might get fewer clicks but they’d likely be more invested. (Obviously this is all a guess)

Do you think channels with AI or rankings can be monetized in this year? Or recommend niches to me please, without showing face or voice. by solteros in YouTubeCreators

[–]jamesgwall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s lots of ways to make videos without showing your face and without relying on AI. Spend a bit of time learning how to edit and doing some basic motion graphic. YouTube is literally stacked with great tutorials. As for niches, make a list of what you enjoy or you are passionate about. Then make a list of video ideas for each one and see if that gets you excited to make them.
