1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:00,570
All right.

2
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,700
So welcome to the how to make professional thumbnails in four easy steps.

3
00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:09,600
And once you master this section, it's only about, I think, like 30 to 45 minutes long.

4
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:11,760
This actual section, it's like a mini course.

5
00:00:12,270 --> 00:00:14,010
Once you master this and how to do this.

6
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:14,820
You'll be able to do.

7
00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:17,400
You'll make quality thumbnails in four easy steps.

8
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:19,230
Realistically, in like five minutes ish.

9
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:21,360
And when you get really good, it'll be like two to three minutes.

10
00:00:21,390 --> 00:00:21,630
OK.

11
00:00:22,110 --> 00:00:25,920
So this is a very, very valuable section because clickthrough rate, it doesn't matter if you're creating

12
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,520
online courses or if you're just focusing on YouTube specifically.

13
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:33,120
Clickthrough rate is a massive factor in how your videos are.

14
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,690
Your courses are going to rank.

15
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:34,930
OK.

16
00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:40,800
And the easiest way to increase your click rate and compete against other videos, because it doesn't

17
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,390
matter where you're posting, it's social.

18
00:00:42,390 --> 00:00:46,410
If it's an online course Web site, if it's YouTube, you're competing with a lot of other attention

19
00:00:46,410 --> 00:00:48,150
and a lot of other images and videos.

20
00:00:48,210 --> 00:00:48,440
Right.

21
00:00:49,020 --> 00:00:53,340
One of the easiest ways to get people to convert on yours is make higher quality thumbnails.

22
00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:53,590
OK.

23
00:00:53,970 --> 00:00:55,980
So that's what this section will basically be about.

24
00:00:56,010 --> 00:00:59,970
I just wanted to introduce you to we're going to jump into a little mini course here in a second, but

25
00:01:00,180 --> 00:01:04,680
I recommend that you use Photoshop and Lightroom and that's what the majority of this mini course will

26
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,610
basically talk about, although you can use both of those are paid options with Adobe.

27
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:10,680
They're like nine ninety nine a month for both of them.

28
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,820
I think you can also use a free version that we're gonna talk about, which is Cannava.

29
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:20,640
So if you learn nothing else in this actual section about Photoshop and might erm and you don't care.

30
00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:26,610
What's the strategy behind it at least because you can apply it to Cannava in the very last tutorial.

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,290
I'll actually show you how to use Cannava.

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,270
I'll show you a full walkthrough on Cannava, but watch it for the strategy, watch it for the approach

33
00:01:33,450 --> 00:01:34,830
and how to layer certain things.

34
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,550
And then if you decide to use Cannava, you can apply it to Canada in the future.

35
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:40,110
OK, but I wanted to welcome you.

36
00:01:40,110 --> 00:01:42,900
I'm going to throw this in this course because this is invaluable.

37
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:46,830
Whether you're creating YouTube videos, like I said, whether you're training courses, whether just

38
00:01:46,830 --> 00:01:52,650
focus on other variances of social media, clickthrough rate thumbnails and getting attention and getting

39
00:01:52,650 --> 00:01:57,750
the click is the easiest number one, but one of the most effective as well.

40
00:01:57,990 --> 00:02:02,910
Things that you can do to increase your views, get more traction and blow up a lot faster.
