Things we discussed
Howon Noh, "26 Health Cheat Codes"
A number and a vague concept on the thumbnail, and the viewer has to click to find out what the "cheat codes" actually are. Same idea applied to your channel: "26 AI cheat codes that blow up small YouTubers" or similar.
Arteri
Simple, clean thumbnails. Light mode, words on the outside, not crowded in the middle. Worth borrowing for your next thumbnail test.
Jack Roberts
His videos have crazy-looking Claude artifacts on the thumbnail. That's what makes people click. For "5 Insane Claude Use Cases" we want a Claude output that makes people think "what is that?"
Ryan Mathews
His whole channel is landing pages. Nothing else. When you make the landing-page-with-Claude video, look at how he packages.
Ed Lawrence
Broad title, specific thumbnail text. Title example: "make this video, it's blowing up businesses". Thumbnail text: "you don't need a script". Worth testing on your AI videos.
Your tool
Your views calculator
The Claude-built lead magnet you mentioned. Make a video about how you built it. The video sends people back to the tool and grabs more sign-ups.
