Hello New Folks! Please feel free to introduce yourself here and get to know the community a bit better.

@Ajayy Veda You don’t need a gazillion subs to start making money and building a business with YouTube, you just need to provide value and serve. Ajayy just took on his second paying client into his six month program with just over 300 subs. I want to emphasize this point - VIRALITY IS UNNECESSARY, SERVING IS. Show your audience you care and are able to help them and the rest will follow (and faster than you think) 🚀🙌

"Should I be IN my thumbnail?" "How many words is too many?" "Where do I even put myself in the frame?" Here's what the data actually shows: **Your Face:** Yes, include it (if you're comfortable). Faces with emotion (curiosity, surprise, joy) get 30%+ more clicks. Position yourself left or right third, not dead centre. **Text:** 0-3 words MAX. Think "hook" not "explanation." - ❌ "How To Make Money With YouTube Thumbnails" - ✅ "This Changed Everything" **Composition:** 3 elements total - your face + object/visual + short text. More = clutter = scroll past. The formula: Emotional face (left/right) + curious text (3 words) + contrasting background = thumbnail that works. Not perfect. Just effective. What's YOUR biggest thumbnail question right now?

By now me and my amazing wife envisioned having 4 videos, but we couldn't due to unforeseen circumstances. We even had to publish our first video as faceless haha. Now the first video featuring both of us is out, with all the cringiness and awkwardness of every first video ever 😆. This marks the real debut of our channel. We hope our content and insights help some of you even if just a little. You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/5dBE5ielOyk?si=FZcsrmHdKh6sARek Ofc any feedback is welcome 🙏 esp on getting comfortable on camera and reading from a script.
