Description
I will show you how to create thumbnails in Adobe Photoshop and also on a free online site that is just like Photoshop, so no matter if you have Adobe Suite or not you'll be able to create amazing Thumbnails.

The Thumbnail is the most important part of a youtube video. If no one clicks, it doesn't matter how good the video is... no one will see. It is crucial.
Also, there is not a one-size-fits-all with thumbnails. Depending on both your niche and demographic of viewers, your thumbnails success with depend on several factors; so we'll start the course with research these and thumbnail theory.

First we'll discuss the theory of why the thumbnail is so important. then we'll enter Photoshop and you can receive your free trial (I'll show you how) to follow along and/or use photopea online for free (that's the next section).

As a bonus I talk about titles for YouTube, how these go hand-in-hand with thumbnails and the difference between search based titles and titles for intrigue/discovery.

We hope you enjoy the course and do let us know. This is a beginner course making a good but basic thumbnail; it is not an advanced course.

YouTube Audience Growth

Instructor's Courses

After working in the TV and film industry for years creatively as production crew, researcher and editor I moved in to online video creation. 3 years ago, in an exploration of YouTube I travelled to Asia to film travel videos to return, upload, grow a channel, break that channel, take it down, change thumbnails, titles, tags and really discover through trial and error and AB testing what makes a YouTube channel grow and what make a video go viral.I then went on to consult growing YouTube channels for various companies and advising individuals. Now, my courses with The YouTube Academy hosts a collection of all my tried and tested methods. I've tested every variable, grown, succeeded and made all the mistakes so you don't have to starting a channel from scratch.
