What I Learned from Making 100 YouTube Thumbnails in a Row!

Thank you!

I wish I can believe that but my channel is just immature

[@ecadventures461]

The best video I've seen in forever. Why can't all YT videos be this brief and informative? Really appreciate it man.

[@Nathanthegreatone-05]

You speak for all of us bro 🤘🏾

[@PercyFrom4Bs]

Absolutely. So easy to follow!

[@NT-or9wh]

Because this video is sponsored. Other videos have to add filler to reach the 8-min mark or whatever for ad monetization.

[@Texaco_]

@@NT-or9wh you just taught me something there. Appreciate the info

[@AlonMoneli]

This might be the best YT video I've ever seen. And a perfect ad. Brilliant!

[@HKGoalkeeping1]

This was SO INCREDIBLY helpful. As a former pro soccer player, I strongly believe that my content and videos have a lot of value but that my thumbnails just were not good and wasnt attracting the audience. This is going to be a huge help! Thank you!!!

[@JadeWells2908]

Just wanted to point out that background remover only works for Canva pro

[@musingsofmanu]

Yes, there are so many free websites for that thou :)

[@rocus80m]

Thanks!

[@greenercancube-or5wo]

Use cut out pro

[@YankeeDoodle2]

Yeah I reported him

[@zone1hearing]

Love how quickly I can make thumbnails on Canva but definitely learnt a couple of new tricks!

[@Audioholics]

This is awesome and I needed this. I used your code!

[@coolkeem]

I absolutely loved this! I feel like I can do this and it wont be a burden to get shots. I loved the idea of recording in high res and getting screen shots then dropping it into canva with the background remover. Pro-tip gem!

[@MattSchmidtQH]

For real. In the past I would take 50 photos 🤣

[@Dadddy408]

Is background removal free? Or on Pro?

[@anamosa1574]

I was literally screaming WOW -- this is unbelievable thank you!!!

[@dogsarethebestfriends]

Great tips and ideas! Helps to see how simple it really can be. I believe the only thing left out is that you need to check copyright for the photo from Google. Remember that Google (and any search engine) just finds you pics from other websites. It could be copyrighted and the owner might not appreciate it being used. Best to check where the pic came from and also give credit in the description. Canva might have a decent pic too - couldn’t hurt to check their stock photos. Had to say it because… educator here 😅 Thanks Nolan!

[@persvanstrom]

As a photographer this makes me happy to read :) , or please steal my work as that will make me rich :D (joke aside) please don't steal hard working creators images without permission, not cool. Other than that, great tutorial

[@KrisD007]

Amen, you could lose monetization

[@biritsimonsen]

I know! I'm a website designer and I was floored that he just stole an image off a Google search and posted it on his YT channel. Nooooo!!!!! Don't do that. There are a ton of them right in Canva to use for free.

[@AlecAndMirna]

So if you give credit in the picture description, does it make it okay to use? Or do you still need permission?

[@JeffTeeples]

Love these tips! Thank you. I use Canva, and the BG remover is amazing. Never got into the other effects options that you shared. Very nice.

[@CAMTechChris]

Nolan, this is an awesome video. I renewed my Canva subscription after watching the video. Thanks for posting!!

[@PercyFrom4Bs]

THANK YOU so much for this video. I just started my channel two weeks ago and I'm trying to eventually get monetized. I only have 17 subscribers right now, but I feel so much better about my page when I see the new thumbnails I've put together with the guidance you provided in this video. I left up my old ones from before I came across this video because I want to always be able to see my progress. You have really helped me!

[@PercyFrom4Bs]

@WesDeeken Well, now you've got two! I'll do my best to watch your content to help you get hours!

[@PercyFrom4Bs]

@DarrenReddix-q1k For mine, yeah I pull from internet and it doesn't seem to be an issue. When I use a photo in my videos, I credit the photographer whenever that information is available.

[@Xeny1]

This is the BEST thumbnail tutorial I have ever watched🎉 Congrats

[@grannyronna]

thank you for this! Big help to content creators. Creating thumbnail is like your facade that makes your viewers watch or subscribe to your channel so you really have to put so much effort so it can be attractive.

[@AndrewMayInvestmentAdvisor]

This video was of great help to me, so much valuable content in only 5 minutes! Thanks Nolan 😃

[@ohshebudgets]

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for a way to upgrade my thumbnails to help gain more views. This helped a ton!

[@alperyilmaz8784]

Just love the fact that you’re using an iPhone to make a thumbnail, that is just an awesome way to lower the bar for us starters👍🏻

[@pig0r]

This was exactly what I needed!!! Thank you!!!

[@julianadennis2649]

I did not know how to remove the background. I create thumbnails for a client so this was very helpful

[@mapledceylonese]

That’s only available on the pro version, which you probably already have.

[@PercyFrom4Bs]

Also not sure if you can do the same on android, but on iPhones you can long press on the subject of a photo to select it, then I just copy and paste the subject (for my thumbnails, a pic of me) and email to myself so I can upload it to Canva.

[@leroycastro-martinez3804]

thank you so much .Very easy and straight forward

[@TheOtherChef]

oh, this is quick, easy, and too the point! Thanks brother!

[@HeavenlyBuckets]

You’re a LEGEND

[@bellebeauty67]

Wow!! The possibilities are endless 🎉

[@charlesessienNanaDankwa]

What did you use in cutting out the image

[@teeburdtalks]

I just recently used Canva to create a new KZbin banner. Had to do a bit of trail and error to make it fit the banner area as perfect as possible, but got it done.

[@RandomTingz23]

There are videos you can watch to not go through the hassle of that. I have one saved in a playlist so whenever I may need to update my main channel, or other channels, I go right to it and it takes a couple mins for me to get it done every time

[@hintvision]

You’ve got the best hands down explanation simple straight to the point and this actually works

[@davidthescottishvegan]

I am not surprised Canva is being recommended for making thumbnails because it is an awesome app/software even on Android and I use the pro version. Another amazing video and thanks for sharing and love 🥰 the video.

[@two7plumbing]

Great video! My only question is how to make sure the background video you are choosing is free to use? I would be hesitant about pulling a random Google images picture as I don't know whether the owner would be willing to let me use it.

[@camjimenez8365]

Use unsplash for photos free of copuright
