    I'm going through a process of bringing my own channel back to life again, since it has been wandering on its own for 3 years, and I'm now giving a proper thumbnail for my videos. It's too early yet to say if this is going to give them a boost in views, but for me they definitely look way better now.

    I've been using GIMP for my thumbnails, its a free photo manipulation software. I find adding drop shadow to the text makes it look better. After watching this video I'll be boosting my saturation by 30% to see if that helps.
