Showing your face can depend on your age! I have a tutorials channel where I don't often show my face on the video at all. I have experimented many times face and no face and every time when I have my face - views decrease. It can be that it shows that I'm in my late 50s and my viewers are quite evenly across age groups, with the biggest group being 25-34.
i was wonder ing that because i am too thanks that gave something to think about but this lady i have seen is 50 ish and she is doing fine thanks
ruclips.net/video/R60At4TyKEA/видео.html
@Kakumei Ascott agreed....she's maybe recognizing (or isn't admitting) that she's damn cute, and that's definitely an element to why that works for her.
@@PinkBuddhaAcademy Even for less attractive people, it's more engaging when you look someone in the eyes...
@@PinkBuddhaAcademy lol, true
I've been messing around with my thumbnails and it is crazy how well these tips work!
Removing the background has made a big difference btw. My first 1k viewed video used this tip.
1k is awesome! How did you pick what background to use?
👍I like your channel and thumbnails 😉
@@gardengate1153 I just found something on Canva that was in my color palette. I'm still learning what works and what doesn't. But it seems like a great strategy.
Purpose Filled You that’s awesome girl congrats!!!
Purpose Filled You hey do u wanna do a youtube collab?
One more tip: Prevent the text from hitting video length overlay at the bottom right. I would suggest that the text should be visible at 80-90% from the center (i.e. avoiding the edges of the thumbnail).
Thank you, Vanessa! Hope everyone who is watching this will get their channel to grow well beyond what they thought was possible! You got this! Keep going!
Raise your hand if you’re here for vanessas new thumbnails 🤚
I love that you always actually test and research stuff before giving us the tea 🍵
Shrinking down your thumbnail on Canva is such a great tip! I’m going to make sure my font is on the left side from now on. Thanks Vanessa!
I think she mentioned the text should be on right hand side. Its confusing check 8.25 part of the video again, however i agree with you it should be on the left
@@VanessaLau beautiful thanks for the clarity Vanessa ! 🙏🙂
such a good tip!
Help for free support
Hi Vanessa, I can honestly say that watching your videos this past week, really helped in preparing my RUclips channel. Thanks for what you do. I have been so inspired by your work and education, I am ready to go ahead and try it myself.
Rule 1: Show your face
*** Delete your background? *** gotta watch the whole video to know how
Rule 2: No fancy fonts
Rule 3: Keep it simple
*** Bonus Tip *** gotta watch the whole video to catch this one
Rule 4: Avoid the right side (or is it the left?) *** Gotta watch the video to clarify
Rule 5: Make it big
*** Canva Hack *** dont want to miss this one
In conclusion, here are the five tips but theres more value in it if you watch the whole video.
Please support
This is cool! Thank you! And it is a greater video! Watched it twice!
Avoid text on right side
gosh, thank you. sometimes comments like these try to sum up the entire video but end up leaving our crucial details, thanks for encouraging people to watch it.
Thanks mate
People consume contents because of a person beliefs and what they represent. That's why the page with the most followers is not a brand but an individual.
Canva has a built in background remove too. The left hand side tip is such a good tip, I noticed that when the text is on the right I never click those video
Yes and its great that i found it hopefully i can buy a subscription for creating my thumbnail coz i only use the free trials now im new in creating vlogs 😊😊
1:56 Rule #1 Show Your Face
4:18 Rule #2 No Fancy Fonts
5:59 Rule #3 Keep It Simple
6:43 Bonus Tip - What Thumbnail Text
7:57 Rule #4 Avoid The Right Side
8:49 Rule #5 Keep It Big
These were really great tips. She elaborates each rule. To get the full value watch the whole thing!
Omg tysmmmm
this was needed lol thanks so much
Thank you
Vanessa is incredible at her videos. Lots of personality, easy to listen to, easy to understand and gets to the point quickly. Great work. This video was very helpful. Thank you!!1
I already implemented your 'Text to left side' and it's made a huge difference! Awesome tip on shrinking Canva! Thanks so much!!
definitely going to try this on my next thumbnail!
Yes, this tip is a major key
Help support
me too! i also used to use script fonts given i’m a travel vlogger. not anymore!
I was gonna ask if that was an error. The icons pop up on the right so it’s text on the left right?
Omg the background removal tool will save me so much time because I usually sit there erasing my background! This whole video was super helpful!
I found remove.bg just a short time ago and it makes it so easy!
I love these tips for thumbnails! On days that I am feeling photogenic, I take several photos after filming using different expressions and then save them for future thumbnail uses. I have had my teacher channel for a few years to just post review problems (it's been pretty lame). I have decided this year to really invest in it so my students and others have a good resource during covid. Thanks for the help!
This is by far one of the best and simplest videos that I have seen on thumbnail basics. Thank you very much!
That remove background app is SO HELPFUL! Literally been looking for something like this for ages - thank you!
A package without wrapping won't be noticed as a gift
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me totally agree! For the love of plants! Grow with Gardentastic! 👍🏼💕🌿🎋🎁
hahaha so true!!
Les go!
🤯🤯🤯😍😍😍
exactly!
Each of your pts are so very important. A few of the pts I was already doing inadvertently, so that's reassuring.
The one about font size and type and 6 expressions were eye-openers. Fantastic video 👌
Showing your face whatever you look like is important in my opinion because people who like watching your videos recognises one of yours pop up immediately. That’s how I feel about people I watch 😍
Loved this video! I’ve been doing ALL THE WRONG THINGS with my thumbnails so I’m excited to see the results once I follow your tips! Thanks for all of this 😊
This video literally came at the perfect time. I am currently creating a thumbnail now. 🙌🏻💯 Thank you for the valuable content!
I saw this video yesterday.! And have made changes in thumbnails also.. i hope it works.!
New friend here hope you have. A wonderful be safe thanks 👍❤️
Thank you, Vanessa! These are amazing and helpful tips -especially removing background. Lol. If you can only imagine how many hours I spend just trying to edit it in apps that I even have to pay for ahahahaha. You are a blessing
You have helped my channel out tremendously. my last 4 or 5 vids have done well taking your advice on getting straight to the point and not having these long drawn out intros. I've cut my vids down from about 20 mins to 10 minutes but I feel I giving my audience more concise info in a shorter time. Looking forward to see what these thumbnails changes will do. Thank you!
Hey Vanessa! Really it's good & I get some cool ideas from this Video like that 6 universal emotions 😋

This came at the perfect time! I’m watching this while making today’s video thumbnail

This was super helpful Vanessa! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! I already started decreasing the size to 10% as I was watching the video ahaha Thanks again!
Thank you so much, Vanessa. I haven't tried most of these tips yet, but I've noticed them in videos before. I just didn't think of using them. Also, you did an excellent job of presenting this information.
Thumbnails are SUPER IMPORTANT! Thank you so much for the tips! 😁🙏
Brenden Walters sooo important!!! 🙌🏽💯
I feel like commenting a million times. This was so informative, direct and fun. Good job vanessa. Love from Kenya. Also new youtuber and growing each day. Keep doing this. Love love love.
Watching this in 2021 so I can FINALLY start a channel and the most helpful part was those 6 emotions. 🔥 thank you so much Vanessa!
To all new RUclipsrs like me, don't give up. Winners don't quit and Quitters don't win.
I take it personally! Thanks a ton 👍
I get so excited when I see a new video from you! You have some of the best RUclips tips! 🤗
Defiantly going to change my thumbnails now!!! BEST TIPS EVER!!!!! Who else needs support from other RUclipsrs? ❤️❤️ lets all support

I love the remove background feature. It makes thumbnails more interesting.
I’ve been following you since you started! What I appreciate more from your videos is your entrepreneurial mindset! I was in a rut because of what people said about me for a long time... but you said, a entrepreneur me is not gonna care and keep pushing! It really helped me out!
I agree girl keep pushing
This was great! I'm starting a cooking channel and knew most of your go-to strategies, but it's nice to have that validation. The thing I learned the most was probably the 4-word-max rule. For me, I'm going to mix both the straight-forward approach and the emotional approach. Straight-forward for the actual title and an emotional 4-word trigger. :) Thanks, again!
Great tips! For me, it has taken 20 videos trying to figure out a consistent thumbnail format that works for our content. I saved/shared this vid. I think everyone should!
Love this! My thumbnails had to really evolve to fuel my channels growth! Every tip in this video is spot on ❤️❤️❤️
Why are you not verified
Great tips! And I really like your background as it's calm and not distracting at all.
This is the only video that you need to watch to understand how to make subtitles for RUclips. Thank You Vanessa ❤️
Great rules. I've been following these rules since I first saw this video 6 months ago or so, and each one has been very helpful.. Thanks very much. You're one of the more analytical and systematic and that's what makes your videos so valuable.
If you’re scrolling through the comments I hope you have a phenomenal day. Get ya bread and all the crumbs too. Stack and act broke Ladies and Gents 😤🤟🏾😤🤟🏾. But this is the internet so lemme stop being positive 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Aw! Never stop being positive! Same to you, I'net friend! ♥️

WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you. This has to be the best overview of thumbnails on RUclips. This will be very helpful for my channel. This information I’ve been seeking for multiple years.
Big fan dir
This was extremely helpful and without the extra fluff. Appreciate the concise explanation and answers.
That was so worth in under 4 mins in I stopped and ripped my own thumb nail ...you rock Vanessa!
Practical tips and rules. I very much appreciate the remove.bg suggestion since my backdrop never changes. 100+ episodes in and I'm updating my whole channel now. Awesome 🎩🔮
Thank you Vanessa. You have inspired my channel. I have changed some of my thumbnails and it has helped my channel. Watching this again is another huge eye opener. I hope my channel grows faster and better.
Happy Sunday The excellent teacher 🍀
@@simplisticmotivation Hi. Good to see you here.
Thanks for the tips Vanessa! I am working to improve the thumbnails for my At Home Workout channel, but I started by determining my brand style, colors, font, etc. Keep grinding 😁
Oh my gosh...I LOVE YOUR ENERGY!!! Thank you so much for this video! I've been struggling with my Thumbnails and needed a thorough explaining on what to find "Important" for great thumbnails!! 🤗💚🤗💚
I am just starting out my RUclips channel and I really love to hear your amazing advices.. it helps me a lot .
You are the best 👑🙏🏼
Try also visiting mine! Thanks
Thanks for all the help! These are really useful tips. I have a quick question: for someone who doesn't quite feel comfortable showing their face, would it still add a human element if I used my animated character who looks like me? I could draw myself showing those emotions and put it in the thumbnail. I've seen some other channels (like Jaiden Animations!) do that and it always inspires me to click, but I don't know if I'm biased because I do animations too(well, as of right now there are none involving me up on my channel but I plan to upload some very soon.) Sorry if this is confusing but could you please let me know?
I’m going to implement this in my thumbnails and see how it goes! Thank you!
I can't believe I've actually been doing every single thing you mentioned even before I watched your video. 😄 I even did the shrinking Canva thing. 😊🙆
Thanks for the advice! I use Canva too, how do you get the text to have a different colour outline? On 10:29 for example, you have white letters with black lining. I can only achieve such a look by putting in the text twice and giving one a different colour, but that creates a "shadow" and is not exactly what I want. I hope I'm clear, a little difficult to explain 😅
i hope everyone has success this year! changed up our thumbnails and have gotten more views! love you all 💛
Try also my channel! See yah!
maggie milly & sophie lmao five months later and I wish y'all the same! We'll get more success soon enough, wish y'all the best!! 🖤💕
That remove.bg tool just saved me hours of time. I do boxing videos and so I cut out boxers and put them together for most of my thumbnails. THANK YOU!!
This was very helpful!! I’m trying my best not to “overthink” my thumbnails but, this is a very straight forward formula 👏🏽👏🏽
Wow, that's really useful. I started my RUclips channel around two months ago and didn't know any of these tips :D my fonts are fancy, difficult to read and they need a lot of improvement! I'll try to do better from now on :). Thanks.
ANOTHER BIG TIP THAT HAS HELPED ME:
Don't use red, white, or black elements on a thumbnail as much as possible! This is due to the fact that it will blend into RUclips, which mostly consists of these few colors!
I feel like red is fine.
You ever seen more successful youtuber thumbnails?
Red really POPS
Thumbnail is the first impression of your video. It is time again and again to emphasize its importance. Thanks Vanessa.
Thank you for the tips !!! I just started on RUclips and my background has been the same from my virtual classroom wall! I can’t wait to use the background remover!
Thank You so much your info helps me a lot i'm just a small you tuber or newbie rather your help is needed thank you again
Very helpful! TFS!
What’s TFS stand for?
Thanks For... S?

@@Luenysgo Hey girl hey. Thank you!
@@wedemboyz I think it means thanks for sharing???
This was super helpful, thank you! I'm going through all my thumbnails on my phone to look for areas I could improve or make them more eye-catching!
me too!!!
Just what I needed! Great tips, concise, kind and great energy! Thank you so much!
Number 1 “show my face”
As if i have a face like yours 😏
ikrr xD
Thanks, thinking about using different emotions really helps... thanks for talking about them.
I’m new to RUclips 👋🏾 I just jumped into making videos and knew nothing about making thumbnails. I noticed after my two videos posted I didn’t get as many views. My next videos will indeed come have thumbnails now ! Thanks a lot Vanessa ❤️
Just found you today. Love how specific you are. And also (as a host of my own show) I am super impressed with your ability to never say "Um". I'm still working on that. Thanks for the tips. Will try them out on my next vids!
Thanks so much for the reminder on the 6 universal human emotions. It is crazy how implementing such a simple tip can make a huge difference in the creating process! Thanks again hun. Great video! xx
5 golden rules
i'm new to youtube and i'm going to apply this to my next vid!!
1. show your face (human emotions)
2. no fancy fonts especially script fonts (use bold fonts instead)
3. keep it simple (only 4 words)
4. avoid the right side (all words on the left)
5. make the elements big (large enough to see it)
Thanks for the great advice! I've had trouble with making thumbnails for my own videos, but I'll be giving these a try on my next one :D
Such a great video! So much great info. I'm trying to improve my CTR and starting with thumbnails, I ended up playing it 3 times and taking notes :) Really felt like you were talking to me. The 5 tips, the background remover recommendation, canva, all things I'm going to start using. Thanks!
Isn’t there more icons on the right side of a thumbnail? Or is this video out dated and RUclips has changed ?
I think she was mixing up her right and left
You absolutely nailed it with concise, effective tips. Definitely working for a newbie like me! Thank you.
@Vanessa Lau Thanks for the clarity. You’re 100% right. I went back to my channel and realized that my videos with my face expression has had the most views in comparison to those without. Today’s video was super useful. Needed these tips will definitely be following ! Will definitely keep watching you! 😎 thank you kindly!
I’ve been struggling with thumbnails for a long time. I’m definitely going to try some of these tips from this vid :) Thanks!
“Show your face!”
🤔That’s all good if you’re cute, but what about us ugly folk?😆😭
😭😭😭 i was just commenting this 😭😭😭
Super Simple Saver yiiiikes I felt that, but on the contrary I use mine to look absolutely ridiculous on my thumbnails sometimes for a bit of humor and that works for me lmaooo
This is great! I’m a tech RUclipsr and I’ve been trying to increase my click through rate.

Thank you for the quick info! I knew there was an easy way to remove the background from a person, I just didn't know what it was. So glad I watched your video and you pointed me to a free easy to use website for it! I'll definitely be working on improving my future thumbnails!
I have a cleaning channel and I’ve been doing my own research on what thumbnails are working and what’s not. When I see other videos in my niche they are all mixed and who knows what does good. I will figure it out soon lol and make it work 🤩 good luck to everyone!

Can I get a shoutout
Great video! So glad I came across this. Being a bit of a beginner, what software/a are you using to edit this video? It is so engaging to watch! I like how you swing in the elements, cell phone pics, the sound effects, all of it. My goal is to be able to do all this eventually. Great job!
thank you so much, Vanessa! Especially the removed background link, I now know!
My thumbnails are so bad and I kept on searching what thumbnails will I use til I found you in my life. I want to try it now editing thumbnails according to your tutorial. Thank you so much.
I learnt a lot. I never knew there are golden rules so big thanks to you. Your work has really inspired me to start my own RUclips channel officially.
I am so glad I have found your video!
I was always having struggles, as I see that my thumbnails are pretty bad but I could never figure out why...
Sooo thanks a lot!
(btw... your cat is so cute
Thank you for the great tips on making thumbnails that will standout. Keeping focus items on the LEFT is a good one I had not considered. Thanks!
I'm here for the detailed tips. Thank you for always delivering great content. I'm working on my thumbnails based on your rules.
Omg!!! This was so helpful! Thanks a lot. You're doing amazing!
3:50 theres also a function in photoshop in the select options. just press "select object" works amazingly well
This really helped me ! I just learned a lot of things I've never thought of lmaooo
