I Got Title & Thumbnail Advice from Mr. Beast

[@KatelynAnn710]

KZbin tips: Thumbnails - don’t waste space - blur the background, don’t make it distracting. Have a focus (face, prop, title) - keep the interesting stuff at the forefront of the thumbnail (focus on it) - maintain brand consistency - your face is enough for brand recognition (don’t always need logo) - use your face or someone’s face because people are naturally drawn to faces (make it big! & don’t waste space) Titles: - “I explored” instead of “Exploring” makes it more personal & believable. Adding face makes it personal and have them want to join you! - make your titles intriguing (ex. “Abandoned” rather than “forgotten”) - avoid dead space, stay on brand, keep your titles/thumbnails consistent - use under 50 characters (to show up on mobile) & make it intriguing

[@native_ty]

I have a title that is 50 characters exactly Does it need to be under or can exactly 50 show on mobile?

[@Mericsina]

thank you bro

[@lisaviktoria9402]

literally the best video on thumbnails ever

Thank you! Glad to hear you found it helpful :)

Still the best thumbnail training on youtube!

[@mr.person1219]

If you're open, I have 2 opinions on your thumbnails if you want to listen. I'm just looking at your 2 most recent ones upon the time of writing this comment. For the sober one, get an empty bottle of beer or alcohol and juxaposition a large image of yourself pushing it away, and then state the time frame with big texts. For the not caring, maybe lay yourself on a bean bag or a comfy chair, with your head back and your legs up high. Bigger text and an arrow. Hope it helps

[@TheNewTravel]

Solid video my friend :)

[@BradenLimb]

Thanks! Hopefully it helped!

[@TeamMalunggay]

THIS VIDEO GIVES ME CHILLS! This one should blow up, great analysis and summary. We will definitely make a checklist for this and apply them to all our videos moving forward! Thank you Branden! Love from Philippines 🇵🇭

OMG man, this is the BEST thumbnails video I have ever seen and I have watched at least 100 videos about thumbnails by Nick Nimin, Roberto Black, Think Media, Bryan Johnson and dozens of other 'thumbnail gurus'. THANK YOU so much for making this video! Kudos to your success matey!

[@StephanieWrona]

This is an amazing video - packed full with some of the most helpful thumbnail info I've seen! Thank you for creating it :)

[@FJParravicini]

That was actually super useful man - would love more videos where you go collect information that is super useful and straight from the source but isn't actually indexed by search engines

[@BradenLimb]

I'm glad to hear it was useful for you! That sounds like a great idea for videos, the problem might be finding the topics haha. Do you have any ideas?

[@FJParravicini]

@@BradenLimb I'd probably just keep targeting content creators and people interested in social media growth. If you're able to find info from the primary sources (like MrBeast), I think it'd be very valuable content that just needs to be marketed right :)

[@SermonsSubtitled]

So packed with so much valuable information, thanks so much!! You derserve to have WAY more views! (Maybe you can speed up the velocity of your video to 1.25x or just talk slightly faster? And get faster to the first point? Because I can imagine lots of people having the attentionspan of a goldfish and might leave the video before they get to the valuable advice. Just giving my honest subjective but constructive criticism because I want to help you! Wish you all the best!)

[@BradenLimb]

Thanks for the compliment and constructive criticism! You’re right, people totally have the attention span of a goldfish these days 😂 I’ll definitely try to speed up my delivery in the future 😃

[@healwithjaniele]

Thank you for putting in effort to gather and share these 8 practical gems! It feels like you’ve given me special goggles that allow me to see the winning pattern for YT titles and pics. 🙏🏾

[@greystorm9974]

You said "who would do this, except mister beast" is why it on brand. A brand is not just visual identifiers. It's also the emotional and relatable identifiers.

[@GadgetAddict]

I think the tips help, but I'm wondering how much of the boost to their views was from the public interaction with Mr Beast and Casey, rather than the tips. People would surely be curious to go and check the video, creating a snowball effect.

[@SaintSimon111]

Man that’s is value bell stuff, thanks, just watched the half of the video and already improved my thumbnail for the upcoming video a lot, nice

[@beautyandthesavage]

Hmmmm… this is amazing service to the community. Thank you so much!!!

Braden, you did a great job on this. Thanks for the time you spent on your research for us!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Awesome video and tips! I went ahead and made some changes to one of my videos, both thumbnail and title, to see if this will help me improve its performance. Once again, amazing video, enjoyed it a lot. Thanks so much!

[@juansarasua]

Then I saw Matt d'avella's "A Day In The Life Of A Minimalist" thumbnail with no close up face, no text in the thumbnail, mostly empty space and I understood that this is just a POV, not a rule to go viral. But yes this is are good Tips for thumbanils deppending on the theme you are talking about and the target of the audience.

[@RayAndre]

WOWZA this is one of the most informative videos I’ve watched all month (and I’ve watched a lot). Thanks!!

[@Simple5005]

Great video. I liked the advice about putting "I did _blah blah blah__" in your title. If you use "I", it becomes more personal and thus more attractive. That's cool and I think I'll use that.

[@Rey7430]

these are actually really in depth takes..great work

[@JoshKorzan]

Very helpful! I’m definitely going to revise all of my thumbnails to focus on these points! Thank you for sharing the knowledge Braden!

Amazing thanks so much for breaking it down, will be using this to make my thumbnail for my next video

[@shellypon]

Thank you for making this video! Collected how would they do for thumbnails and also made them into easily absorbable information! I would never know Mr Beast and Casey had done these if you didn't make this video!

[@ScottWilder]

This might be one of the best thumbnail vids I have seen

[@Kazinkies]

Loved how you went into details, thanks! :)

[@chrisbarros]

This is gold right here. After seeing this I definitely need to update my thumbnails. Thanks for the advice

[@Rigle]

One of the best thumbnail videos I've seen, keep it that way!

[@davidinark]

Very helpful! Honestly, I think if you front-loaded the video with the screenshot at about 15:05 as the opener, it would have been an even more effective video. Or maybe front load the list with 6 or 7 and teased the last one or two. That’s definitely a mr beast play.

[@anndynegative]

Great video! If I can make a suggestion, consider having some light instrumental music playing in the background of your videos. The gate you're using clamps down really fast and it's a little distracting having your voice drop out so obviously. Some soft music will smooth it out a bit. Solid thumbnail information tho, I'm using ALL OF IT.

[@BradenLimb]

Thanks for the tip Anndy! I'll try out using some light music in the background. Glad to hear the thumbnail info helped you!

[@DBBusinessChannel]

@@ElonMusk-FanZone What?

[@johnnyriffs]

Great tips. But today he seem to use even shorter titles: ”I Broke Into A House” (No ”$50 000” anymore) ”Protect $500 000 Keep it!” ”7 Days Stranded At Sea” ”Train Vs. Giant Pit” Etc.

[@familycurious3813]

Very helpful and lots of actionable points, so thanks. Might I suggest you also try editing out some of the repetition and spaces in this video in the KZbin editor? That's a tip I got elsewhere and it was very helpful and worked for my engagement. I think this video would also be more impactful with a tighter edit as it's great content. Cheers👍👍

[@TmHudsonArt]

I have an art channel and I think some things may differ when it comes to videos about producing actual artwork. People aren't so interested in seeing faces then. When I was looking for tutorials on how to paint/draw certain stuff, it was the thumbnails that showed artwork most like what i would like to produce that grabbed me and what I ended up clicking on. This was by far the biggest make or break for me at least. Having a hand included holding a brush or pencil as if working on the art also seems to help. After making some rubbish thumbnails in my attempt to try too hard, I think I'll go to just image of the artwork and my hand included maybe with brush or pencil and leave the title to do the rest.

[@ShawnRay]

This is really good information! Thanks! Just some feedback, maybe you could put more energy in the video and condense it a bit. Also some background music perhaps? It was easy to lose focus during the video and I was really trying to pay attention. Hope this helps!

[@slr-d]

this video is totally passing and surviving through the test of time. More I *really* learn how the game works, the *more* great this video gets! furthermore its mind-blowing that it was made in 2020 🔥

[@HowToSandAFloor]

I’m 3 mins 12 into this video and I just want to tell you, yes, this is a very valuable video. Cheers 🍻

[@Telekdays]

Very nice recap, i already saw this different advice from mr beast, but you explain them well and you reminded me of everything important in one video

[@switchunboxing]

On the face thing, don’t forget you can do some tricks simply with photo editing. If you think your face is too small though? Just copy the photo but on the second one, cut out everything but your face. Then you can make your face bigger and reposition it. I have done that with a thumbnail and it ended up looking really cool. Because that way I could completely blur the background and add an outline to me and nobody knew it was actually both from the same picture

[@AlbertKingboss]

This was the best video on CTR I've seen so far, thank you so much for sharing!

[@AustinIuliano]

Awesome video dude, is it okay if I link to it in another video as a reference?

[@gemmaatroxxibox5322]

I think number 7 could also be seen as newsworthy/storytelling. Like in a newspaper, it will say, "man explored space mountain". It wouldn't say "exploring..." Apparently we're attracted to stories more.

[@FlamingMoai]

Actually helpful advice, thanks for compiling all these threads into a video so I can actually retain all that info!👍🗿

Very Helpful Advice... MrBeast is a GENIUS!!! And you are a most Wise Decipherer!!!

[@beneaththefloorboards]

Great tips here. The dead space + foregrounding things really piqued my interest as I was clearly still thinking more traditional media as I would have said those didn't have much dead space to begin with! But once I decouple the 4:3 focal points grid from film school out of my head, then, it's clear as day. 🤦

Great video, I watched the whole thing, and screnshoted the 8 tips 👍

[@ChefsPicks]

I have 2 questions: For titles: if there are 2 main people in the video the word "I" would not seem to pertain to a topic if it is some sort of debate. So should we say "we debate" in some fashion or "James/Mac doesn't like" in some fashion? I feel like if we put our name people will not click because people will not know who we are. For the faces: We use cartoon faces in our videos. Should we be putting those on the thumbnail and not worry about it being a real human face? I figure the cartoon faces could be branding but I worry that since it is a cartoon that emotional connection will not be there.
