Capture, Capture, Capture

Do you have a digital place to store thumbnails you come across that inspire you?

Develop the habit of browsing YouTube with an analytical eye. Capture thumbnails that you find inspiring or intriguing. Remember, it's common practice to draw inspiration from others' work. By collecting and studying thumbnails, you'll expedite the process of finding your own unique style.

Action:

1. Spend at least 10 minutes scrolling through YouTube.
2. Download at least 3 different thumbnails that catch your eye.
   • To download thumbnails from your computer, visit YouTube Thumbnail Downloader.
   • If you're using your phone, you can screenshot or use the same site on your mobile browser.
3. Place these downloaded thumbnails in a digital space where you can capture and organize your inspiration.
   • If you don't have a dedicated space yet, you can use this section temporarily.
4. Find a permanent place to store thumbnail inspiration. Consider using Notion, Milanote, Pinterest, Canva, or any other platform that suits your preferences.

The Psychology of the Click

Understanding the psychology behind what prompts people to click on thumbnails is vital. Thumbnails are primarily about understanding the mindset of your target audience.

Action:

Consider what elements in thumbnails grab your attention and compel you to click. Reflect on colors, text, imagery, and the emotions they evoke.
