I’m going to show you how to use your facial expressions to “sell the click”.

Unfortunately, most YouTubers don’t “sell the click”, they adopt the failing motto: If you post it, they will click.

😱 Match Your Audience’s Emotion…

Thumbnails are windows into your video and your facial expression in the thumbnail speaks volumes.

  • Anger to show frustration with a problem
  • Fear to match your audience’s anxiety with a problem
  • Excitement to show your audience that you found the solution

Let’s capture every single one:

💃 Step 1: Hit Record and Pose 10 Times

Seriously, strike a pose, make a wild facial expression.

Exaggerate every facial expression — the wilder the better.

This is how YouTubers are able to pose in the same outfit as the video.

✂️ Step 2: Take screenshots of each pose and upload to Erase.bg

Create a transparent cut-out of yourself without the tedious Photoshop tricks.

🖼️ Step 3: Create 3 Different Thumbnails with Different Facial Expressions

Some emotions trigger people in just the right way to get them to click. Anger can be used for how-to videos because you’re mirroring your audience’s frustration with the problem.

💫 Step 4: AB Test Your Thumbnails

Swap out your thumbnails every 48 hours or so, and watch your CTR.

After a while, you’ll begin to sense what emotion you’re audience is feeling and be able to perfectly match it in your next thumbnail.
