YOUTUBERS

Too many elements in your THUMBNAILS can make your viewers overthink!

If your potential viewers don't understand what is happening in your thumbnail right away, they won't click on it.

Thumbnails are a game of grabbing attention as quickly as possible, while establishing what the video is about in 3 seconds or less. 

Use the rule of thirds to direct your audience's attention to the main elements in the thumbnail, and put the most important elements where the grid lines cross.
