What Makes A Youtube Thumbnail Clickable?

The most important thing you have to think about is your audience, or if you don’t have an audience yet, your key demographic and what is going to make them click on your thumbnail.

What intent do they have, and what can you do to match that intent and get the click.

First let’s ask the most important question, Who is your key demographic? What does your Key Demographic want? And How can you appeal to them as a creator? This is how you create Youtube thumbnails to get more views!

My actionable tip here is that you need to think about your key demographic and audience, then make a thumbnail that appeals to them, not just looks beautiful, most of my thumbnails from a graphic design standpoint kinda aren't great but they appeal to their audience so they do well.

How to Make a Thumbnail for YouTube Videos?

YouTube thumbnails are an incredibly important element of your video optimization. One of the most important aspects to getting a Youtube video to rank in search or be suggested in the algorithm is your CTR or Click-through rate, this means you need an amazing thumbnail to make people click your videos!

When it comes to making a good Youtube Thumbnail, it is important to remember to keep it simple, and that means it is so important to simplify them down as much as possible.

My three major rules of a good simple thumbnail.

1. A clear simple background
2. Only 3 major elements, such as Face, Visuals, and text.
3. Remove any visuals that don’t help tell the story of the video

Don't forget that Youtube Thumbnails end up much smaller when uploaded, so the larger and simpler you can make your Thumbnails the better they'll perform meaning a higher Click-through rate and more views in general.

The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Justin Brown - Primal Videos and Vanessa Lau.
