Hey everyone! I just added a new Tools page in the Classroom section. You'll find links to all the free tools I personally use to improve my YouTube channel, thumbnails, and overall content strategy. I will be adding more tools to this page as time goes on. Check it out and let me know if there's a tool you'd like me to add! https://www.skool.com/ai-thumbnail-skool-6741/classroom/d2f259b2?md=60213d41a6f9446e80c4101cdfc05e7e

I've updated all the Viral Thumbnail templates — they're now cleaner, clearer, and easier to fill out. Every form now follows the same color scheme and style for consistency. I've also added two new templates you can play with. Enjoy!

If you have a lot of existing YouTube videos with bad thumbnails, you can use this transcription analyzer/ChatGPT YouTube tool to help you decide on a thumbnail style. It'll also give you suggestions and explain why that's the best style for each video. I created this recently because I noticed one of our members has a lot of videos with thumbnails that could be much better. I get that it takes a lot of time to figure out the best thumbnail for each individual video — so this tool is here to help simplify that whole process if you already have a bunch of videos to work through.

Hi everyone, I was away in Croatia for about a week, teaching at an activities camp. I'm back at full force for the next two weeks! For August I will be focusing on creating videos that help you understand how to use this process easily. These videos will be added to each of the templates, so you can just watch and follow along. I'll also be creating more templates based on viral thumbnails I've seen — plus a few suggested by other members. On top of that, I'm working on a master form that only paid members will have access to, so you can use a single form to generate most of the viral thumbnail templates. And a big WELCOME to our new members of the week: @erickson-farral-6137

This is a new thumbnail template I’m working on right now. It’s a viral style you’ll see on a lot of giveaway channels. The structure is simple: first, you clearly show the object being given away, which instantly sets the context of the thumbnail. Then you add the people and their reactions, which drive clicks by creating a big curiosity gap — “how did it get to that?” or “what’s the story behind this scene?” You can use this template for your own channel with any content that has a strong “object + reaction” story. It doesn’t have to be giveaways — you just need a clear object and a strong expression/scene that sells the story and opens that curiosity gap. < Take a look at the 5th and 6th image, to see examples of how this can work with something completely random like a dog breaking a leash, or even a car accident.
