Howdy,

Here is your weekly dose of The Creator Stream, where we learn to craft irresistible video ideas and supercharge your titles & thumbnails!

The fastest way to find YouTube video ideas and successful title and thumbnail concepts:

• Analyze successful title and thumbnail concepts from competitors and your own videos to identify why they resonate with your target audience.

• Develop your own frameworks and hypotheses based on common patterns in successful titles and thumbnails.

• Conduct experiments to test these patterns and validate your hypotheses.

• Continuously create and refine titles and thumbnails based on your findings, iterating to discover more powerful combinations.

• Rinse and repeat.

I just made an entire YouTube video breaking down this strategy in more depth.

I show how your favourite creators are using thumbnails to boost their views and how you can too. Watch it here.

Have a great weekend! 👋
