Howdy,

Here is your weekly dose of The Creator Stream, a list of what I’m enjoying and exploring in the Creator Economy. Please feel free to forward this along to friends.

My Favourite Things This Week

📸 What I'm Watching

MrBeast: Future of YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram | Lex Fridman Podcast - Mr. Beast just appeared on the Lex Fridman Podcast and dropped knowledge bomb after knowledge bomb on how to grow on YouTube. There were so many things that I learned that I wrote a short Twitter thread with Jimmy's advice for beginner YouTubers.

🔑 What I'm Launching

The Thumbnail Vault is now Open - It's common knowledge that a good thumbnail can make or break your video and so I built The Thumbnail Vault. It's a Free Library with over 1,000 of YouTube's Best Thumbnails for inspiration to help you create effective thumbnails that get clicks.

Over 700 creators have signed up so far and with many new features on the way, this looks to be a great resource for your toolkit to help you better understand how to create effective thumbnails.

📚 What I'm Reading

How To Keep Viewers Watching Your Videos - 90% of viewers click off before the end of a YouTube video. Marcus has put together an in-depth Twitter thread on the 7 ways you can keep viewers watching until the end of your videos.

And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter. Which link above is your favorite? Please let me know. Just send a tweet to @WhiffenYT and put #TheCreatorStream at the end so I can find it.

Thanks for reading, have a wonderful weekend!

Jamie
