Make the effort to stand out 👀

In a world full of simpletons and mere copies, why not do something to separate yourself from the herd? If you are going to put all of this effort into creating content, you should also give it an image that actually represents what your work stands for.

^{I believe that the better your thumbnail is for your post/video, the more likely it will be that you will find success in this world.}

In this video today, I discuss the supreme importance of having a solid thumbnail as the foundation for achieving higher engagement with your content. I go over quite a bit and make some comparisons to other things that I believe will help you understand why this is a vital aspect of the creation process.

I mentioned several different websites and apps that you can use to create a good thumbnail yourself or perhaps even hire someone to do it for you. I am going to link all of those here so that it is easy for you to get started.

https://www.pixiteapps.com/apps/union/ (great mobile app for combining images)
https://www.canva.com/ (desktop and mobile app that is capable of creating logos and thumbnails)
https://unsplash.com/ (The internet’s source of freely-usable high-resolution images)
https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/ (best photo editing software)
https://www.fiverr.com/ (freelance marketplace where you can hire people to create thumbnails for you for cheap)

I also wanted to take the time to tag the users who I mentioned in this video so that others can check out their profiles easily:

@chinito
@taskmaster4450 / @taskmaster4450le
@dalz
@forexbrokr
@ykdesign

I think that you are all doing great things and you should be proud of your efforts. Hopefully, any criticism that you received can be taken positively and help improve your content even more.

Thank you so much to everyone for taking the time to view my work. Drop a comment and let me know what you think about the level of importance thumbnails hold in terms of content creation. I'm willing to have a discussion and even help you figure out how to get started with designing your own thumbnails to take your content to the next level.
