Hi guys,

I got custom thumbnails finally enabled about a week ago, and I was super excited to upload all the thumbnails I had already made.

I tried really hard to make them visually appealing, use the Brent Blogs branding I had created, and make sure they were relevant to the content of the video. (So each one contains one relevant still from the video)

At the same point, I understand the main objective of a thumbnail is to get its viewer to click on the darn thing... please take a look. Hit or miss? And if miss, what would you recommend I do differently?

I think the thumbnails are ok. I know what the video is gonna be before I click it but it doesn't do anything to make me click it necessarily. Now with this being said I don't know what I would change but it needs something that draws me in I think. Off topic though I absolutely loved your trailer. That was hilarious. Now that kept me in it the whole time.

This is my most viewed video ever since Michael Buckley (What The Buck) liked it. That drove in hundreds of viewers for me. Truth though... I think I have better videos. But glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for subscribing![DOUBLEPOST=1366416549,1366416524][/DOUBLEPOST]

Thanks! That was the goal. Simple "Brent Blogs" branding and a meaningful still with or without a picture inserted.
