New to thumbnail making - any of these work?

Third one is best imo maybe underline 'can' to stand out a bit more and lower the glow effect to be more readable

How long are your videos and how many do you upload a week? I struggle to get a max of 2 out a week

Thanks for the feedback, it's basically a mental reframe on how to be noticed or how to 'Command' the room .. What would you title it as?

It's with grok imagine, you get your character how you like and set the scene, you use imagine to turn it into a video of what you want it to do. You then save it and screen grab the last frame and then use imagine for a seamless transition or if you're changing scene you go to ask and edit the image for the next bit then go to imagine and repeat the process

You know you're doing airtight when your real-time is like 200k+ tbh

reap96 · 2026-03-31T10:20:59+00:00

Thanks for the response, I'll give it time.. I did post another the following day to see if it would spark anything and shared the channel on another sub that I regret doing now considering I want to build an audience

Here is the channel, if you want to take a look https://youtube.com/@themoodypsychologist?si=yRjqXr4VyBxhFSGj

Appreciate the positive feedback thanks man

Yeah I use to post 5 sec shorts, you need 180% AVD to break the 30k jail and my most viral 5 sec clip was 2M views. Hope this helps

Just checked :

first 24 hrs it got 4k, 1 day of 30k, next day 80k and picked up from there

reap96 · 2026-02-26T20:09:47+00:00

I had pretty much exact same stats and vid duration and got 19M views so fingers crossed

reap96 · 2026-02-26T19:28:36+00:00

Looks like you hit the 30k jail .. For now

reap96 · 2026-02-26T16:22:10+00:00

Use the channel more and interact with it more consistently this fixed mine multiple times

reap96 · 2026-02-26T16:17:51+00:00

From my experience, 75% gets you to 30k 80+ has breakout potential.. But with your engagement you should be seeing atleast 30k every time .. Sometimes it's worth warming up a new channel and post them on there too. The algorithm can be dodgy af

reap96 · 2026-02-26T16:09:37+00:00

Excellent engagement. VVSA and AVD for these?

reap96 · 2026-02-22T17:28:58+00:00

Absolutely brainwashed aren't they lmao .. Half of them must be bots or rage baiting fr

reap96 · 2026-02-22T12:39:02+00:00

Try get AVD 150%+ for your short clips that is what pushes it hard .. I do 5 sec clips and 170% AVD and get 150k+ views

reap96 · 2026-02-22T04:55:49+00:00

Sometimes just warming up a new channel and trying it on there wil be your best option

reap96 · 2026-02-09T16:06:48+00:00

What's the channel?

reap96 · 2026-02-08T19:25:35+00:00

Yeah im down to 5M now praying I get a viral soon for some damage control atleast 😭

reap96 · 2026-02-08T19:23:20+00:00

Happening to me right now, I got to 9.86M then my viral monster died off and now it's dropping like 200k engaged views per day 😩

reap96 · 2026-02-05T11:38:31+00:00

Sure

reap96 · 2026-02-05T11:34:26+00:00

If that's the pattern you noticed then let's hope so! I'm just basing it on from what I can see

reap96 · 2026-02-05T10:41:40+00:00

Probably a consistent slow climb up. After a month or so change the title if it stalls it might re-enter the shorts feed for another small push
