I've got a trick for you that you can use that will blow your mind and I'm gonna show it to you in this video and it's only gonna take you two minutes to start getting more views on your videos and we're starting right now. Hey guys, welcome to my channel. I'm JR Fisher, I appreciate you being here.

If you subscribe and you don't turn on that notification bell they won't notify you when I do new videos. You won't be part of the Fisher family. You won't be those VIP people and you gotta do that, right? You wanna know about this and when I go live they'll also tell you. All right, let's jump right into this. There's so many things you can do to get views on YouTube. Obviously, obviously is having good content. Obviously is having a good video. However, had you ever thought about this? What if somebody doesn't click on your thumbnail? If they don't click on your thumbnail, guess what? You're not gonna get any views. Now, originally when YouTube started nobody really knew much about thumbnails because YouTube would just select one of the screenshots of the video and that would become your thumbnail. But as people got wise to this, they said, well maybe I should put some words on the screen and I'll do that and I'll put some colors and people started to do that. And then they said, well maybe I ought to put my face on there and a lot of people started doing that. And it kinda is a herd mentality where everybody starts following everybody else as far as the types of thumbnails and when that happens, all the thumbnails start to look alike again. Now, if your thumbnail looks like everybody else's the odds of you getting clicked on aren't near as good. So right now we're in that phase where everybody's figured out to be these bright thumbnails maybe a picture of their face on there and they're getting clicks but they're not getting that many clicks because everybody's doing the same thing. They all kinda look the same at this point. Now, if you've already built an audience this isn't a big problem for you but for the rest of us that are depending on Google search of which my videos right now 57% of my views come from Google search. And if that thumbnail doesn't differentiate me from everybody else, I'm not gonna get the clicks. So here's what I've discovered. You can do less work and you can actually make more money by doing less work. All right, let me explain to you how. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go into YouTube right now and I'm gonna search a subject, okay? And when I search the subject let's look at those thumbnails and see if we can tell what's gonna work. All right, let's get going. Okay, I just did a search in YouTube and let's scroll through here and find some of these thumbnails and let's see what would make us click on them more so than others. And you're gonna be surprised this is gonna take a lot less work than you think. So as I scroll through here I see a whole bunch of thumbnails. If you notice it's a lot of people's faces and it's got a couple words on there but they all kind of look alike except for this one here. This looks a little bit different. Do this or struggle, all right? Let's scroll through again. Those all kind of look alike. Wait a second, this one here looks a little bit different. Right, YouTube simplified. Now look how simple this one is and look how simple this one is, okay? Those tend to pop out more than any other ones. Here's another one that seems to pop out. Stop uploading. Let me scroll through and see what else I see in here. This is another one that seems to pop out, okay? It looks different from everybody else's. Now what has this person done? First off we'll see who that person is and it looks like it's Brian G. Johnson, okay? Let's look at the other one here that's tended to stand out that looked really simple. Stop uploading. Brian G. Johnson. What do you know, all right? Let's scroll through a little bit more here. YouTube simplified, huh? Brian G. Johnson, I think Brian G. Johnson has figured something out here, guys. I really believe it. Let me scroll through and see that other one we saw. See what else we find down here. Well, this one really stands out. This is like chaos, okay? But they've done something very similar to what Brian G. Johnson's done. And as I scroll through here, see what else stands out. See, most of these are a person with some words. A person with some words. That one seems to stand out a little bit better, but it's still a person with some words. And what I've noticed is a lot of those are Brian G. Johnson, right? Okay, we've kind of figured that out. Let's go to Brian G. Johnson's channel and let's see if he has changed the way he does things. All right, so here's Brian G. Johnson. We're gonna go to his channel real quick. Huh, look at this. Red with white letters, red with white letters, red with white letters. All right, let's go to his videos now. And look at this. Here's another one, and another one. I've noticed, look at this. Three days, he's got 22,000 views. Three days, 22,000 views. And all this thumbnail says is 100,000 subs equals YouTube secrets, okay? All right, maybe it doesn't even say equals. It doesn't, it was something I had to hover. 100,000 subs, YouTube secrets. Do this or struggle. Now, he did have the picture of him in other ones. It looks like he's doing some testing, but look at this, two weeks, 6,000 views, three days, 22,000 views. I think there's a pattern to this. Look at this one here, 13,000 views, 30 days. Dare you, do this, I dare you. That's all that says. Let me think this one. Channel secrets. There's not a lot of work put into this, thumbnails guys, get subs. So I lost subs, okay? If you look through here, he's doing this a lot now. He looks like he tried green for a while and green kind of work, but not as much as the red seem to work. There's another red one right here. 10,000 views, 16,000 views. He's doing this a lot now. Look at that, look at all those red ones. So what I'm here to tell you guys is it's not always what you think it is. Brian G looks like he's figured something out. I do follow Brian G and I look at a lot of his stuff and he has some great videos. So shout out to Brian G up there. But the point is you need to be different, okay? I was talking about this the other day and to be better is hard, okay? To be better than somebody else is really, really difficult. To be the best is almost impossible, okay? But everybody can be different. And in these thumbnails, which is the main metric for getting your videos watched, you need to be different. Now it's hard to stand out when everybody's doing such cool thumbnails like I just showed you. I mean, some of these thumbnails are amazing. They're really, really good thumbnails. But the thing is they don't stand out because a lot of people are doing amazing thumbnails. So how do you out game somebody who's doing these amazing thumbnails? You do one that doesn't look like them. You do one that's really simple. You know, you're kind of revert back to the early days when people didn't know how to do thumbnails. Now I wouldn't ever say to use one of the screenshots. Don't ever do that. Don't ever do that. And like I said in the beginning of this video, I mean, how long would it take you to do a red screen with two words on it? I would say under two minutes, you could probably do that and upload that to your videos. Now here I've got a challenge for you. Take, I don't know, five or 10 of your videos that you've already done a thumbnail for, okay? Now it's not gonna work as well as an older one, but I think you're gonna see a difference. Then put one of these simple thumbnails on it. Put one of these with just one color in the background and some letters in the foreground. And I think you're gonna see a huge difference. You know, YouTube is a constantly evolving platform. And I know every time I think I've got it figured out, I know what to do. I know exactly what it needs. I'm wrong. And I'm wrong because there's always something new coming out. There's always a new feature in here. There's always a new way that they're doing their algorithms. Now, their algorithms are geared to keep people on the platform. And if you have a thumbnail that gets people to click and you start to have more thumbnails like that, more people are clicking, guess what's gonna happen? They're gonna start showing your thumbnails to people. They're gonna say, well, these thumbnails are getting clicked on. These fancy schmancy ones aren't. So we're gonna start showing these ones that are red with white. Now, the one caveat to this, as I will tell you, is make sure that the words on your thumbnail actually match up to your video. Don't do clickbait. That's the worst thing you can do. Don't do clickbait because what's gonna happen is just the opposite with the algorithm. So if you put on their free money and people click on it and it's you going fishing and people see that, they're gonna go, well, I'm gonna click back off again. And then YouTube's gonna see that when people click on your thumbnails and they go to your video, they don't watch. So YouTube's gonna look at that and go, well, these are bad thumbnails because even though people are clicking, when they do get to that video, they don't watch the video. And that's not what we want. We want people to stay on our platform. So you can't just say, well, I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna do a bunch of really simple thumbnails and I'm gonna get a ton of views. You won't. You'll get a ton of clicks. Maybe, maybe. But the point is, if you get a ton of clicks and you don't deliver on the goods, you're not gonna do well. So I have a lot of people say to me, well, what's the one thing I need to do to be successful on YouTube? And I say, there isn't one thing. There's a whole bunch of things. And in other videos, I'll explain that to you, but you gotta have the right title. You gotta have the right content. You gotta deliver it with energy. You gotta have the right edits in there. You gotta have a good description in there. You gotta have the right tags in there. It's all these things put together. But certainly, the starting point is a good thumbnail. And a good thumbnail is one that is what? Different. Not better, not the best, but different. So do your best to be different and you'll get clicks. I hope you enjoyed this video.
