1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:03,670
So I know a lot of people are still fascinated with the whole click baiting, right?

2
00:00:03,690 --> 00:00:04,200
I get it.

3
00:00:04,350 --> 00:00:06,660
It's constantly brought up to me and questions.

4
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:09,100
And when I do, consulting people are like aren't so where do I click bait?

5
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:14,430
And it's like I would recommend that you don't necessarily click bait, especially your titles, but

6
00:00:14,430 --> 00:00:16,540
you can rank and click bait in certain ways.

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,430
So here's how you do it.

8
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:17,680
Right.

9
00:00:17,850 --> 00:00:21,880
So you want to think rank will titles, but click baity thumbnails.

10
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:26,340
OK, so you want to obviously rank your titles like we talked about, hit that home in the past like

11
00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:27,390
three lectures or so.

12
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,270
It's very, very important you don't click bait in your titles.

13
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,730
Instead, what you want to do is you'll get the best of both worlds if you click bait in your thumbnails

14
00:00:35,730 --> 00:00:36,870
and then you ranko titles.

15
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:37,050
Right?

16
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,840
So think think of your thumbnails as the opportunity to click bait, but the opportunity to click bait

17
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:43,410
your title.

18
00:00:43,410 --> 00:00:43,700
Right.

19
00:00:43,890 --> 00:00:48,540
So you want to still make your title really, really valuable and good and long tail so that you can

20
00:00:48,690 --> 00:00:53,100
bring that evergreen content in, because that's what YouTube is going to use to basically suggest your

21
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:55,290
video and figure out what it's about.

22
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,330
But your thumbnail, the actual picture in your thumbnail and what you suggest and how you actually

23
00:01:00,330 --> 00:01:03,120
click bait, that's your opportunity to do so, right?

24
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,370
That's your opportunity to generate interest.

25
00:01:05,370 --> 00:01:08,910
That's your opportunity to capture the eye and capture someone's attention.

26
00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:11,190
So use your thumbnails to click bait.

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,500
That said, don't abuse it.

28
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:14,850
Don't get a little crazy with it.

29
00:01:14,850 --> 00:01:18,180
You still want it to be relevant and you still want it to describe your video.

30
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,530
Maybe just leave something out, maybe just tease the audience a little bit about what the video could

31
00:01:22,530 --> 00:01:24,600
potentially be, about what they could gain.

32
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,500
Think of pain points, number one, and, you know, solving a problem.

33
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:32,250
And this is basically your opportunity to get innovative and use your creativity.

34
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,600
But think thumbnails for click bait and titles for ranking.

35
00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:38,460
Don't click bait in your titles.

36
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:41,430
You can potentially click bait a little bit in your thumbnails.

37
00:01:41,430 --> 00:01:41,610
Right.

38
00:01:41,610 --> 00:01:44,730
But just make sure it's still relevant and describes a video that's very important.
