Best Way to Make a Thumbnail

Don't fill the whole thumbnail with text. Keep it clear and to the point, and most importantly, make it engaging.

As a side, thin serif fonts don't tend to work well at smaller sizes so bare that in mind when setting up your thumbnail. Bold simple fonts work best. I'm not going to click a video if I have to put effort into trying to descipher what it says in the thumbnail because you've used 'bleeding cowboy' at 6pt size :)


Hey man, I looked at your channel, my kids love stuff like that.

I'd say your text needs to be bigger/bolder in your thumbnails, or maybe outlined and/or drop shadowed just to lift it off the background image a bit. Some of it seems to get a bit lost at the smaller sizes. Hope that helps :)

Thanks for the feedback!
