What are we testing?
This week, I’m obsessing over Thumbnails. Yes, that’s right, Thumbnails! My Head of Client Services did ask if I needed a psychiatrist, but then I explained the method in my madness!
Those who have hit the big time on their content A/B test and obsess over their thumbnails, with many giving examples of 200+ tests. A theme seems to be a very clickable headline, but also a person who looks quite animated. I will be sure to take a photo after coffee! More to come on that!
What I’m reading?
I’m still holding firm executing everything I want to, from Traffic Secret and The Linchpin, but I’m also doing a lot of reading and learning about YouTube strategies.
I’ve been watching a lot from Ali Abdaal and Codie Sanchez. Ali has over 5 Million YouTube followers and is the most followed productivity expert, and Codie grew her channel to 1 Million followers in 2 years. Both are great to follow for inspiration, and both are extremely strategic in their content.
The theme from my learning so far is that with YouTube, you need a storytelling formula to hook your audience’s attention and keep them watching for longer. Build suspense and tension by delaying giving away big nuggets until further into the video. By increasing the length of time the audience watches a video, it tells the YouTube algorithm that you like it and then feeds the algorithm. Interestingly, other keys have been playing with pace and body language, even down to how you lean (or not) into the camera. Fascinating!
