Oh my god the number of times I've done this. FML, reload save, make it sound like its my first time....ha.
My tip! An obvious one but id say add a logo or some kind of noticeable branding to your thumbnails. It can make your video look a little more professional next to all the auto thumbnails youtube creates.
I actually just thought of one for channels looking to upload daily. Be careful about front loading your work process. Im doing a gaming channel and as far as recording im a few days ahead of schedule to keep things not stressful...BUT! Im finding myself almost in the 11th hour editing wise. Balance our recording/editing schedule!
Youtube tip: install vidiq, search the title of one of recent, but not newest, video, and check the vidiq 'trending' tab. If you tags are all set up correct, you should be able to find channels similar to yours in that 'trending' tab.
Youtuber workflow tip: If you're using image processing software and a template for your thumbnails, a quick way with Mac + Ps to get a matching filename when saving is to select the video file, then switch file format to .png. No more digging around or tons of typing.
To add to this, if your using tubebuddy youtube actually will refresh your search ranking damn near instantly after you add/remove tags. During export/upload downtime do some trial and error with your tags. Ive been able to take some of my videos from a 3rd page ranking to 1st just by tweaking a few words.
