How to Create a Custom Thumbnail for you tube video
What Is the YouTube Custom Thumbnail?
No change or update has had me quite as excited as this one!
Until now, YouTube randomly selected (and when I say random, I really do mean completely random!) three still images for you to choose from to use as your video’s thumbnail. This means you are probably forced to choose one of the worst screenshots possible.
Are you frustrated by the default random YouTube thumbnail option for your videos?
Do you wish you could create something custom to improve your views?
Since December 2011, YouTube has been making some radical changes to their site.
Everything from the home page layout, website colors and even the look and feel of the video players have changed dramatically.
But none of these aesthetic changes have had any real impact on the way we need to be marketing videos on YouTube.
However, this latest change may just be the biggest game-changer that savvy video marketers can take advantage of! Introducing the Custom YouTube Video Thumbnai
A Little Background
In April 2012, YouTube quietly rolled out the option for all YouTube channels to become “YouTube Partners.” This original YouTube Partner Program consists of a selective club of content producers with a large audience and a ton of views.
These original partners have access to additional features and options to help market their videos that no one else had (for example, the Custom YouTube Video Thumbnail).
Then YouTube announced that anyone could become a partner, and everyone rushed to monetize their channel and fill their videos with a bunch of distracting ads and 15-second commercials that slightly annoy viewers. Yet there were still no special partner privileges like the Custom Thumbnail option… until now.
YouTube has been quietly (and selectively) rolling out the Custom YouTube Thumbnail function to some channels for the past month or so.
