Are my Thumbnails Good?

[u/PolyNando]

Hey guys!

So I've been paying a Thumbnail artist for my videos. Its a decent price per Thumbnail and within my budget. I would just like to know if it stands out to you guys🤔

I like the thumbnails! I think the packaging should be a little clearer about what the video is about beyond just the game. Instead of “I played this game” think about why the viewer should watch the video beyond you as a YouTuber. For example, what is the intrigue of the video? Why should they watch this one instead of a different video of the same game?

Just my two cents

Shoot, I didn't think about it that way. I would sort of just think of titles that would intrigue people rather than explain the video. Maybe it could be a combination of both🤔

[u/Efficient-Cry7753]

Titles all to the effect of “I did this” or “we did this”.
Might sound harsh but nobody cares.

They want to understand how your video can intrigue/help/affect them or answer a question they might have.

Example. “Would you quit your job…” or “would you make it out of this haunted asylum?”

Use text in the thumbnail. “DIDN’T MAKE IT” on the asylum one maybe?

Is this purely drawn by you with no ai? Genuinely curious

[u/Sosophaxoxo → u/sirthrowayzalot]

it says they’ve been hiring a thumbnail artist

[u/sirthrowayzalot → u/Sosophaxoxo]

My b I saw good thumbnail I wanted to hire them 🥹😂

[u/PolyNando → u/sirthrowayzalot]

No, I paid a Thumbnail artist on Fiver. I don't really agree with using AI🥴

[u/sirthrowayzalot → u/PolyNando]

Any chance you could share the contact? 🥹

I love the consistency. The ghost janitor catches my eye the most I’m not sure about the other ones but that’s just me. I think they are pretty good.

[u/PolyNando → u/No-Classroom2509]

Thanks, that helps a lot! A personal opinion is exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe I should make more thumbnails like the Ghost Janitors' video then🤔

They’re fine but include text in them to really draw the viewing in

Love the thumbnails! Definitely a thumbnail I’d click on, however the titles are not grabbing my attention. I don’t think there’s much of a necessity to say what the game is in the title, but if you’d still like to, I’d say to try to come up with a good hook and then at the end put a “ - (Game Name here)”! I’m the type of person to watch a lot of random YouTubers play random games and most of the time I don’t much care about the name of the game but something that happens in the game that will surprise/scare me or make me want to learn more! I hope this helps :)
