First why are thumbnails important?

Most impressions on your YouTube videos are from YouTube recommending your content, not the search.

Which means you have to have a great thumbnail to convince the viewer to watch your video.

Here is what we are starting with, a thumbnail I made to replicate what real estate agents are doing now that could be better. Let’s fix it

2. Add some Color to make it stick out

 

 

 

 

 

4. Make it simple, too much text or icons will just result in the potential viewer scroll by. Make what you have stand out.
