    Dave Maze. He used to be on EOSHD forum and I remember his post where he said he was going to start a channel. he was a magician if I remember correct. It never really hit off for him, he got robbed at one point, changed his name to this and then sold his channel. Then he pops up as a thumbnail guru lol. Respect man, this guy is an OG of youtube

    Great video, I never knew that thumbnails can help so much with gaining popularity... but I guess you learn every day as a content creator. Nowadays though I believe that the best option, for going viral as soon as possible, is to start doing more Shorts. People don't have attention span for anything longer, so I try creating expressive and concise content (and after I post it, I use a lot of Famester to make it go viral and the content gets spread out literally everywhere. It works on other platforms as well).

      I think that depends on your audience and your niche

    • @CoachOlali
      @CoachOlali Před měsícem +3

      That's not true though. There are podcast channels that are getting hundreds of thousands and millions of views within a week. And these channels are growing as fast as any other channel out there. "Jordan Peterson", "Chris Williams", "The Diary of a CEO". Even Mr. Beast has tons of viewers and his videos are way longer than shorts. Not to mention, people often buy books in which it is impossible to get through if you don't have an attention span beyond that of a short. In addition, people watch movies and tv shows on Netflix, Hulu, etc that are 30 minutes or longer. So you have to re-evaluate this false thinking

  • @classzedits
    @classzedits Před 10 dny

    my take away from this is the first 5 seconds pay-off that should immediately display what the thumbnail shows before starting the actual video. also, how to position assets: if the creator is famous, to the left or dead center. if it's best to show the content first, the creator to the right. learned so much. thanks.

    Can you help explain why ProZD or Sam Sulek's thumbnails work? ProZD has said he just uses one of the three suggest thumbnail options from CZcams for all his videos, and Sam's are just a frame from his video, not from the intro for the instant payoff. Why do their thumbnails work and should I use the same thumbnail styles as them?

    Until I figured out how to edit thumbnails on my other channel (Christian based) in 2017, some CZcams employees used to take my preaching videos and find the one screenshot that made it look like I was sucking on a microphone or some stupid crap like that... just because my channel was Christian. They had a laugh out of it, I'm sure. But when I sent a letter to my lawyer about it, that crap stopped, almost. Then they started doing it on this channel because they figured out it is me... and I had to tell my lawyer about it again. This channel is based and originated in Mexico but my lawyers are in Los Angeles. I could give two crapd if CZcams ever works for me. But I don't need CZcams employees trolling me at every turn.

  • @abdullalhazred3365
    @abdullalhazred3365 Před 2 měsíci

    Using different text in the thumbnail to the title gives the impression the uploader regretted initial uploading and re-upped it with changes...
