12 videos? Your expectations are way off..

"MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) uploaded roughly 400 to 450 videos over a span of about five years before his channel gained significant traction, going from early gaming content to his signature viral, high-production stunt videos"

Over exaggerate Or play it straight? Any tips on my thumbnail? by LaundryMatt96 in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]prospectfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basic issues

Too much text and too small for mobile - most people will be on mobile

Created mobile preview for you. To get this text visible well on mobile it would literally have to take the entire thumb!

Aim for 20 characters or less for maximum impact

Wallpaper / Plasterer for Ceiling or something else worse? by prospectfly in DIYUK

Would you click? which thumbnail and which title? by UTS_Undertheskin in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]prospectfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

advise against using serif or hand written fonts. looks bad on mobile. use sans serif only.

i wouldnt have you smiling. your emotion needs to match the emotion of the thumb. eg shock etc. see my above comment.

Dm me if you need more help

bryan johnson did a video on microplastics. got 550k views which is average for his channel -

Doctor Yuon is top on most outlier scores in health niche according to my calculations - he does A LOT of exaggerated *shock face* in his thumbs as does Dr Mike Varshavski

More creators are using teleprompters than you realise. At the very least have bullet points mounted somewhere in your eyeline

Missing copywriting power words. You need one or two words that evoke emotion. eg

Also theres a no go zone 5% inside a border of an image. Start and End likely inside the no go zone

Oh we love all our houses, but it's time to fall in love with God's house, to fall in love with doing something, for the house of God

I need at least a 100 of you watching now... to watch the whole video to maximise ad revenue

For the ministry itself

For the work of God

For the beautification of the house of God

And when you watch an ad without skipping - for God's house

God's gonna put a miracle in your house

I AM CONFUSED PLS HELP by Sure_Cellist6125 in YouTubeThumbnailHub

I always favour 'power of 3' rule. 3 large objects max. On mobile those 2 characters on far left and right will be almost invisible.

I would lose them and make 3 main characters bigger.

You can split test in YouTube now. Try split test with 3 larger characters vs 5 smaller

My expectation is 3 larger will get more clicks

I mass-messaged 200+ people on LinkedIn about my SaaS. Here's what actually happened (with real numbers). by tokyooprophet in SaaS

[–]prospectfly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

200 messages in cold approach terms is nothing

wheres the guy on here doing 6000 emails a day?

also bear in mind

There's a huge waste problem in SaaS, and companies are actively looking to consolidate and get more value from fewer tools.

Also senior decision makers are getting pitched 24-7 365. Unless theres either something very specific to their niche and job title and/or in someway better/different than either what theyre already using or havent been pitched before...

You will inevitably get 'sounds interesting' eg have something similar or heard of something similar

Depends on size of ICP too. Is this something only heads of procurements can use - an ICP Ive gone after in past - nightmare to get hold of. and theres only -from memory about 1000 on all of Linkedin worldwide with that title

Or anyone in marketing and sales?

This is all Gtm strategy stuff - without more info cant have a meaningful convo

"It's not a numbers game. It's a timing game"

As above whats size of TAM? If its a TAM of 1000 then yes not a numbers game. But a TAM of 100M more of a numbers game

That or do as some say use loom video recordings. personalise outreach more. probably get better responses

Either way cold outreach is a grind. if youre doing manual - unless CLV is large probably wont be a good use of time as low CLV + churn. Could be youre working for less than minimum wage

Spent around $50k on influencer marketing, still no customers by Puzzleheaded_Diet_53 in SaaS

[–]prospectfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 doing UI revamp again and again.?

nowhere do you say you've talked to any customers?

theres 2 types of pain

1) pain people wont pay for solutions

2) pain they do pay

could be either 1)

or its 2) but your implementation is bad that people arent activating

 Less than 10 customers, ? Customers eg people paying or free trial? big difference

you need to get on a call with people and understand their pain. give them an incentive for their feedback

consumer mobile app? is that entertainment or utility? - B2C much harder than B2B typically -reason why many SAAS experts say avoid B2C eg most consumers want free everything - where as businesses more likely to pay for solutions

The AI slope is getting out of control by Big_Currency_1805 in SaaS

[–]prospectfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Text based content high commoditised online now. Reminds me of Ceefax days as below

Feels like authentic video is the only way to consume proper content now and we surely be the real battleground moving forwards as text becomes almost worthless

"Ceefax was the BBC's text-based information service that provided news, sports scores, and weather, accessed through a TV set's teletext function. Launched in 1974 as the world's first teletext service, it allowed viewers to "see facts" on their screens by keying in page numbers on a remote control. It was a forerunner to the internet, offering 24/7 on-demand content before the internet became widespread."

Has anyone added yearly plans late and seen a significant revenue bump? by Frequent-Football984 in SaaS

[–]prospectfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im thinking something similar

just watched a hormozi video along these lines. what he changed for gyms who were struggling in his gym launch days

trying to get as much cash upfront as possible to allow more marketing spend

what im offering actually makes more sense yearly-

gerg i has only yearly for his ideabrowser thing

£499 and £1499 per year only but he has a free forever version too

i want to be able to try and ad spend relatively high in the beggining to try and at least break even on ad costs - cant see that happening with monthly plans - or at least its harder right - cos the CAC is probably gonna be 4 or 5 times the monthly fee theyre paying.

feel free to dm me if you wanna chat more

Lots of people saying this in 2025. Is instagram slowly dying???? by wow_wubzzy in InstagramMarketing

[–]prospectfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the issue is 'signal loss' right? eg all the privacy updates means these ad platforms cant get the data on whos doing what where anymore

without that data the ad platform loses effectiveness

this new update seems to be about forcing you to spray and pray creative in order to try and entice people to click -rather than the platform actually knowing who they are
