I know enough not to make horrible thumbnails, but not how to make good ones. The categorization by type was very illuminating and the follow-up fixing issues with actual participant thumbnails reinforced the learning. Ed's self-deprecating humor was appreciated as well. Excellent presentation!

This course was crammed with info that helped me finally understand the logic behind thumbnails and where I have been going wrong. I have noticed immediate results on each old video I put it into practice with. Well worth every penny and really enjoyable. Thanks, Ed.

I own a lot of YT courses and one common theme is that most of those courses don't really go into thumbnails which is arguably the most important part of having a channel that ranks or grows. This workshop is a great deep dive and the hot seat q&a alone is worth the price of admission. You will want to write notes as you do this workshop and come back to it 1x every 1-3 months to refresh.

Meet Ed

YouTube is a marathon not a sprint but what I love about thumbnails is, you can actually see the results changes make instantly unlike a lot of other areas on YouTube.

You’ll know they are effective a few hours after releasing a video and even changing old videos thumbnails can get you fast results.

The problem is, many YouTubers seriously struggle here. They fall down with basic design errors, produce thumbnails that make them look amateur and this seriously harms their channel.

Its my aim to level your thumbnail game up and to give you a system to follow to ensure your thumbnails keep improving.
