Making Clickable Thumbnails 🔥

most creators swear by A/B testing their thumbnails...i don't here's why hard swapping wins: when you A/B test, Youtube splits your impressions between two versions so neither gets enough data to tell you anything useful fast. By the time you have a "winner" from the A/B test, you've already wasted days of momentum hard swap instead. Pull the weak version, push the new one, see the performance and adjust accordingly A/B testing only works when you have massive, consistent traffic where split impressions still give each version enough data to be meaningful. Some creators don’t have that volume

@ijustine @HammadCustoms these are his clients, his ideology is different His clients WANT to be in the thumbnail since they love themselves so much You are WASTING Thumbnail Real Estate if you use a face below 50k Subs - Paddy Galloway

@ijustine This is proof of the original point though The brand of those channels is strong enough that the faces (of the creators and popular celebrities/characters) sells the click That’s the exception, not the default advice for a channel with 2k less subs

@HammadCustoms So many faces

It's actually not face for branding only works when people already know you if you're a small channel, nobody recognizes your face yet, so it adds zero value and just takes up real estate on the thumbnail that can be used for something else that actually helps with getting the click the thumbnail's job is to sell the click. your face (and like any other elements used in a thumbnail) is only a tool for that, not a requirement
