# Make the effort to stand out πŸ‘€

In a world full of simpletons and mere copies, why not do something to separate yourself from the herd? If you are going to put all of this effort into creating content, you should also give it an image that actually represents what your work stands for. 

<sup>I believe that the better your thumbnail is for your post/video, the more likely it will be that you will find success in this world.</sup>

In this video today, I discuss the supreme importance of having a solid thumbnail as the foundation for achieving higher engagement with your content. I go over quite a bit and make some comparisons to other things that I believe will help you understand why this is a vital aspect of the creation process.

**I mentioned several different websites and apps that you can use to create a good thumbnail yourself or perhaps even hire someone to do it for you. I am going to link all of those here so that it is easy for you to get started.**

<div class="phishy">

https://www.pixiteapps.com/apps/union/ (great mobile app for combining images)
https://www.canva.com/ (desktop and mobile app that is capable of creating logos and thumbnails)
https://unsplash.com/ (The internet’s source of freely-usable high-resolution images)
https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/ (best photo editing software)
https://www.fiverr.com/ (freelance marketplace where you can hire people to create thumbnails for you for cheap)

</div>

**I also wanted to take the time to tag the users who I mentioned in this video so that others can check out their profiles easily:**

@chinito
@taskmaster4450 / @taskmaster4450le
@dalz
@forexbrokr
@ykdesign

*I think that you are all doing great things and you should be proud of your efforts. Hopefully, any criticism that you received can be taken positively and help improve your content even more.*

Thank you so much to everyone for taking the time to view my work. Drop a comment and let me know what you think about the level of importance thumbnails hold in terms of content creation. I'm willing to have a discussion and even help you figure out how to get started with designing your own thumbnails to take your content to the next level.

Yes, the sound on your previous videos,is very low i hardly hear you,so any time i wanted to watch the video i make sure that i uses headset, which amplifier the sound a bit,but this vey video is audible, i didn't border using the headset. About the thumbnail it vey great including it on one post, what  i do before was to put and image,maybe one, but now i  am even adding i gif to it,and  using canva, which will be include in my next post, later today.i don't know much more about editing but canva is doing a great job, i just started using it,it not that great but i believe with time,it will be better, i will check out adobe and photo shop later and see their amazing features.anyway thanks for the info,it is a very great job you are doing.

I'm glad that Chinito said something, you are the third person to confirm that the sound was too low before. It was a very easy change for me to turn up the volume on the clips. 

GIFs are incredibly powerful as well. Thumbnails get people to come in and loads of GIFs will give them a reason to remember what they read. 

Photoshop has a monthly subscription, but they are said to be working on a [freemium version](https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/14/23162580/photoshop-web-free-freemium-version-adobe). Until then, check out [many Photoshop alternatives](https://www.laptopmag.com/news/best-free-alternatives-to-adobe-photoshop).

πŸ’ͺπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ŽπŸ€™ Wow, thank u, thank u.. for the mention and for tweaking the volume for me and other speaker/hearing lacking ppl. It's perfect now.. I turned up the volume on the vid window..


![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/chinito/23t78uNBJfM31TGpKUTMyEmYPYHDh43it25ifJDo8SYASfsUPs2zhjGMvoe7ALEFLkHaG.png)

and it was all good.. i didn't need to turn up the vol knob on my speakers at all, which is what I used to do.

U'r so right about the thumbnail. I read the posts on my list no matter what the title or pic, but it does definitely make me want to click faster if the pic is nice and then I might remember it more if I see an interesting thumbnail. πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

RE: Why an appealing thumbnail is important for your content
Yeah the thumbnail is very important! When I was making YouTube videos, the thumbnail drew in people more than the title and I even experimented with that a little bit. Sure enough a decent thumbnail got more views on something than the content.

There are a lot of things to think about with a thumbnail. The overall design/theme of corpse. I believe they should be rectangular and landscape orientation, so dimensions the right are valuable. I do all of mine above 4K quality 4800x2700, file sizes are giant though (thankful for that cloud storage). If the file size thing is an issue, resolution can be lowered. I wouldn’t go much lower than 1280x720 though.

RE: RE: Why an appealing thumbnail is important for your content
Ah damn that’s crazy 4K resolution lol. I don’t know if my hard drive would like that too much! The images end up looking pretty good despite it being mobile for your thumbnails so that’s good. I’m always worried that an image would look crappy on mobile since that’s how most people consume it.

RE: Why an appealing thumbnail is important for your content
Cheers for the shoutout :)

I just started using my thumbnail image style with the idea that they would just be placeholders that I'd eventually change.

But like you said, I also just love how it gives my blog a clean, minimalist theme.

So the style is here to stay for now.

---

#### Images are also important for SEO
Alongside their purely visual value, images on 3Speak videos are also important when it comes to SEO.

Remember that this particular video is [also within a post on leofinance.io](https://leofinance.io/@daltono/fajlfpwf) (or whatever front-end you use).

Why does this matter?

Well, if video creators take full advantage of these posts by getting them to rank on Google, it can attract an ongoing stream of traffic (and thus revenue) to your videos.

Outside traffic viewing your old videos, long after the 3Speak algo has moved on.

Just having a single image with targeted alt text (the text inside the [] brackets), acts as an extremely important ranking factor and should never be left out.

---

PS. @taskmaster4450, I second that you should definitely consider doing (or paying someone to do) custom thumbnails for each of your videos.

As the highest rewarded creator, it's time ;)

It's very pleasing that orange with very legible text. 

You mentioning SEO is another massive benefit to this thumbnail thing. Thanks for bringing that up. I’m lucky that I’ve been in a habit of naming my files accordingly, so that’s a lot better in terms of SEO instead of something like JPEG-128 or whatever the file is normally named. 

I would love to see our most popular trending content all with clean thumbnails and making Hive that much more of serious competitor to all of these other social media apps. I think once people start seeing top earners really working to stand out with their thumbnail designs, it will encourage other users to increase their quality just to keep up with the pace. That will make everything better for all involved.

Just don't forget to also include 'alt text' for all of your images.

File names don't matter as much as the alt text.

Always ensure you're putting a full sentence featuring the keyword you're targeting in the [] brackets like this:

![An example of alt text in Hive's publisher.](https://images.hive.blog/DQmairsgs36DjMpi5w1S6euePp1mw2zpZjvxHd63R5dPSB5/example-alt-text-in-hive.png)

That will make everything better for all involved.

I 100% agree.

There's also an onus on those of us with stake to ensure we're incentivising the behaviour we want to see.

Large curators need to stop rewarding low quality, throw away content that doesn't put effort into the important details like thumbnails.

If creators stop making money, they will change their behaviour quick smart.

Thanks for your advice. I've been following your posts for a really long time and I've been trying to learn. Your logo caught my attention recently and I was thinking how cool it is. I want to design a logo of my own. What do you think is the best site for this?
I also love making thumbnails, I used to be a youtuber, I had like 300 subscribers. But it's been years since I left that thing and I want to start again for this place. I want an app that's free. Do you have any suggestions for that?
About the sound, I must say that I really hear it more clearly and comfortably today. I thought this problem was caused by my computer because I don't watch anyone else sharing videos other than you. You are here again with an excellent post. Great job!

I highly recommend you hire the person they designed my logo. I can do a lot of things, but I wanted my logo to be in a specific style and somebody on Hive actually did it for me. Was even able to pay with crypto and it was a fair price, well worth the investment. Check out [this post](https://peakd.com/hive-189689/@daltono/ruvyomyx) to see how the design process goes and how you can contact the artist and give them your idea. 

If you’d rather go the free route, try the Canva app that I linked. It also looks like there might be free version of Photoshop coming soon, learn more [here](https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/14/23162580/photoshop-web-free-freemium-version-adobe). You can find more alternatives to Photoshop in [this article](https://www.laptopmag.com/news/best-free-alternatives-to-adobe-photoshop).

Also thanks for commenting on the volume. I’m glad it’s better now, but I feel bad for my other videos not being quite as loud. They will be from here on out.

Dude, I read the posts and I found a site called renderforest that you mentioned there. It is possible to make a logo from that site and I think I will design a logo from there. How did you design the dividers you used on your page? Can they also be designed in Canva?
I would like to get help from someone for this thing and have something professional, but I'm not at a level where I can afford it right now.

Lovely and enlightening video! I'd always been attracted to your posts because of your thumbnails and especially your logo. Thanks for sharing these links. I've never tried photoshopping but with the Adobe link, it shouldn't be too hard, right?

@daltono ·
Thank you for saying that, very kind of you. Photoshop is a lot to take in at first, but it becomes so intuitive once you figure some things out. There are many features that I've still never even used, but the things I know I know very well. I have dozens of shortcuts memorized by heart and I love using the application. 

It also looks like Photoshop may be getting a freemium version soon, [more info here](https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/14/23162580/photoshop-web-free-freemium-version-adobe). 


If you’re interested in getting your own custom logo, [here](https://peakd.com/hive-189689/@daltono/ruvyomyx) is a post about mine and how you can contact the artist. They are actually on Hive and accept crypto as payment at a fair price, I highly recommend.

Greetings friend @daltono, a pleasure to introduce myself, I was going through some publications when I saw yours, which caught my attention, I am a little new with this hive, but little by little I have been learning to improve my publications, (the truth I do not know if I'm doing well), at this time I could see some of your publications and I see that you have some beautiful thumbnails, I would like to make some like that.

I usually rely on publications about movies and drawing, in the movies I have seen that many place the cover of the same, but in the drawings I have noticed that only place the image of the final result of the drawings, I only follow the example of others, but for a professional like you, I would like to know if I'm doing it right, I would be very grateful with your comment, I also thank you for this type of publications, makes many newbies like me can learn more how to improve their publications.

I'm very glad you commented, because I have a lot of information for you that will help you do even better than you already are. 

Firstly, I just took a look at your page. Your reviews look really good and I like your use of custom designs and you have good taste in movies. Using a high quality image of the movie poster is an excellent idea. 

The way that I'd change your thumbnails to make them more personalized is by turning those vertical posters into landscape rectangular images. You can do that by adding a background, maybe other images, and text. I've linked some apps at the top of this post if you don't already have some. 

I'll also send you many examples of how I used to do my movie review thumbnails. I've written many over on CineTV. I even have a collection with all of my movie posts in an easy to find place. Here is the link https://peakd.com/ccc/daltono/movies-and-tv-shows

Let me know if you have further questions. I think once you look at my movie thumbnails, it will give you a great idea where to go with your own.

Greetings brother, long time no go by your posts, I have had a lot of problems with my internet connection, lately, in fact I still have them, I will have to move city to be able to have a more stable internet, but that is not the case, I normally use Canva to make some of my covers for publications, but I have always loved the professional level you have, my goal is to make thumbnails like the ones you do, they are too cool and look fantastic, Canva helps a lot to make thumbnails and covers, so I have had to understand it a little bit because it is a little complicated, since there are millions of ideas, but soon I will master it, greetings brothers, good video.

I'm happy to see you here again. I hope your internet situation can improve soon, I know you enjoy creating and interacting on here. 

Canva can work well,but Photoshop offers way more creativity options. Stay on the lookout for the freemium version of Photoshop that is said to be [coming soon](https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/14/23162580/photoshop-web-free-freemium-version-adobe). It's difficult for many to pay $10/monthly for access to the app. Hard to find a cracked version anymore too. 

Thanks for the compliment by the way. I work hard on these thumbnails 😎

RE: Why an appealing thumbnail is important for your content
Having a catchy thumbnail drives the chances higher for people to engage with your content. I personally experience it here on Hive and elsewhere. Catchy thumbnails tend to have more views and engagement that uncatchy ones. The thing is creating catchy thumbnails takes time, so I don't put much focus on it. This post has been a reiteration for me, I hope I stick to it now!

Even with a great thumbnail, people still may not click to view the post. We need to do as many things as possible to reinforce our content and increase the chances of engagement. I think that if you reconsider the importance of your thumbnail, you may start spending more time getting that part ironed out before your post goes live.

RE: RE: Why an appealing thumbnail is important for your content
Right, there are many moving parts and we need to focus on them as much as possible. 

Yes, That's what I do once I write the skeleton/structure of the content.
