The Psychology Behind a Thumbnail (the REAL reason you click)

The psychological hacks RUclipsrs use to get you to watch their videos. In this video we'll take a look at three creators at the top of their game... MrBeast, Ryan Trahan and Mike Shake. I'll show you how they make their thumbnails super clickable.
If there’s anything I’d like to have proven since starting on RUclips, it’s that you don’t need the most expensive gear to succeed.

Thank you for the awesome comment. I appreciate it so much!

[@Sa1designer]

as a thumbnail designer I see the word "Thumbnail" I click

[@nathaniel_hall]

Haha I know how it feels

[@imzaahid]

Can you make a video about the guidelines for making thumbnails for infotainers who make videos on history, religion, philosophy, world politics, etc.?

[@nathaniel_hall]

Hey Zaahid, great question! I’ll definitely do another video around thumbnails. There are some principles that apply across all niches. But I think thumbnails for videos in your niche need a main character in their thumbnail… e.g. who/what is your video about? Then make that the main focus. The clearer you are with thumbnails, the better :)
