I Changed My Thumbnail on YouTube & My Video Exploded

what is the video that got 1.5M views?

confusing dud. you did not show the test.

Man I only have 8 views

Just refreshed a thumbnail on one of my videos...thanks

How does this work if your video is not in the top 200 results!

I am using vidiq and it’s helping

Köszönöm 😊

Thanks for the insight ❤

Nyycc video

Can you do a video showing how to connect the rodecaster?

You need to do this in more than one vid. You could get a lot more views, in this type of vids, because I dont want to see 1 thumb change.

Changing thumbnails is what made my mechanic channel successful. I had mediocre tutorials posted that we're not getting clicked on. I changed the thumbnails and started making better videos and I consistently get views on my new videos and if I change a thumbnail my old ones also.

Bro....your basketball channel name?

QUESTION - Why after I have changed my thumbnail to a new / better one does it revert back to the original thumbnail when I share the video on Facebook ?? Its changed on my channel but hasn't when I share it ??????

I had a video gain 13k impressions in just a day. Glad I looked this up to see if I should change the thumbnail. Hopefully the video goes from 100 views (I know yikes) to at least 101 views now.

I changed my thumbnails and my views plummeted!

BS - this video promotes ThumbnailTest that charges $15/month and up.

I need your help guys
I have uploaded a video with thumbnail but the thumbnail seems not appearing to my audience

your video are so cool

Great info. I tend to obsess over thumbnail and title when I see similar metrics. I've had mixed results breathing new life into roi 😅

The usual blah blah just to get views, but without really knowing how the algorithm works. Same old same old.

holllyy, thank you!!!!!! so much. I will focus my thumbnails

This is so helpful, thanks

Thanks bro…

I changed the thumb on a vid that was stuck at 15k views after 21 days and it took off and hit 120k. I find that when my CTR drops below about 4%, YT slows down the impressions rate enormously and that compounds the low views. Thumbnailtest would have paid for itself on that one video, but if YT really get round to implementing A/B tests next year, it's going to put a dent in their business model. I'm tempted to try it after seeing the impact of changing what I thought were great thumbnails into less-great but wildly more successful ones. My views vary widely across a week and with time of day, so it's hard to draw proper conclusions from a time-based thumbnail swap. What I want is the ability to run perhaps three thumbs CONCURRENTLY, and with an automatic choice being made by YT to push the best performer using a range of indicators.

if only the thumbnail test had a free trail 1st..

Drink a gallon of milk a day and your channel will EXPLODE!

I'm still trying to find Nolan's basketball channel! Anyone know what it is?

Stop it with the stupid mouth open thumbnails. It's played out, it makes you look like an idiot, and it's not gonna age well.

Incredible help! Thanks

Looks cool. Wish it was 1/2 or a 1/3 of the price for channels that aren't monetized yet. That would be a no-brainer to get then. Thanks for sharing.

Feel bad for my channel.
Before i got views but now i got zero views. Why? Whats the problem to my channel ?

Please what will you recommend for me.
I normally make videos with my native language only, so some of my people advice me to Also be creating videos in English too.
So my question here is, should I create a new channel for English, or I should just continue using one Channel for both English and my native language?.

I want to make sure I understand this: I can get an older video that I have a strong passion for more views by starting with reevaluating the thumbnail? I know there is a LOT more to it than just that, but as the video showed, a creation with 195 days of publication skyrocketed due to a change in the thumbnail. My content is evergreen, or at least with this generation of young leaders, and I do not want to make another video rediscussing the same thing because my first try was so eloquently put together. Thanks team for being so great!!!

Super cool reminder!

Always a great video with information 😊 I started a channel when my son was born and named it after him 😊

Bro this is the video I was looking for! I just completely changed all of my thumbnails so I'm hoping for the best!

I agree, thumbnail can grab more viewers to your video but it wont give you 1mln viewers more... It depends of your channel, I mean the populary of your channel, soo don't get your hopes up

i cant tell if my thumbnails are good or not

Thanks for covering ThumbnailTest ❤️

It's probably my favorite thing I've built so far, glad you guys are liking it 😄

I changed a thumbnail a few weeks ago on a video that I had uploaded a year or two ago. I noticed once I changed it it started moving up the ranks. No w I’m going to go back and upload new thumbnails and also update my titles!!

I probably need to dedicate more time in making better thumbnails 😅 thanks for the tips💪

Nolan is going to leave Think Media to focus on his "little" basketball channel. Hahhaha. JK. Love this, such great content!!!! Thank you!

😮nice

💕💕🙏🙏💕💕

Go that one step further and change both the thumbnail and title at the same time (I had to do this recently, and the results were outstanding).
