Summary
1. 1. Use "BOGY" thumbnails
It goes without saying that video thumbnails are important.
In fact, according to YouTube, 9 out of 10 of the most watched videos on YouTube use custom thumbnails.
YouTube also states:
Thumbnails are usually the first thing users browsing YouTube see.
How do you create a prominent thumbnail?
BOGY thumbnail.
BOGY thumbnails are thumbnails that use the following four colors.
Blue
Orange
Green
Yellow
Why is this important?
As you roam YouTube, you'll find that the website is based on red, black, and white.
If you use red, black, and white for the thumbnails, it will mix with the YouTube layout.
However, if you use BOGY thumbnails, the thumbnails will stand out and attract the viewer's attention.
For example, I use green as the main color for thumbnails.
It's also part of branding (green is the main color for my blog and YouTube channel).
But it also helps make my videos stand out on a platform called YouTube.
Of course, you could use red, white, or black for a little bit.
You don't have to make those colors the main colors of the thumbnails.
I also sometimes use black and white for thumbnails.
This means that if your tag matches the tag of a popular video, you have a chance to see your video next to that video.
For example, if you search on YouTube for "advanced knitting tips", the following video will be displayed in the first place.
Even YouTuber Evan Carmichael has replaced the old channel trailer with his popular video.
By doing this, users who enjoyed the clip can immediately transition to YouTube with the full video.
Of all the views, 39.4% are from the "browsing feature".
