Test your thumbnails before you publish!
I'm currently building a service for YouTubers to test thumbnails before publishing. How it works is you upload a few versions of your thumbnail. You then select which competitor thumbnails you want your thumbnails to be compared against. These are then randomised and shown to hundreds of people in order to collect data. What you get at the end is a clickthrough rate for each version of your thumbnail. For the initial version, you won't be able to target a specific type of person, your thumbnails would be shown to everyone (i.e. general population)
Pricing still isn't set in stone, but indicatively:
$9: Test up to 3 versions of a thumbnails with 150 people (i.e. each version of our thumbnail would be tested around 50 times)
$29: Test up to 5 versions of a thumbnails with 500 people
$49: Test up to 5 versions of a thumbnails with 1000 people
$199: Test up to 5 versions of a thumbnails with 5000 people
Would be super keen to hear your thoughts if you're a YouTuber. Happy to hear other feedback as well!
If I were building it, I would add these options -
1." None " as an option when user doesn't like any of the thumbs.
2. Let your customers add Links of yt videos that their video is going to compete with. Then you can fetch their thumbs and add them as an option. It will give them data as if their thumb is better than thier competitors.
3. Give special discounts to YouTube channel with more than 100k subs. ( Make users sign-up using Gmail and giving you access to yt data).
This will convert them to repeat customers.
4. First check free for all or for 1$ .
Hey there 👋
Thanks for the detailed feedback!
I'd be super interested to hear more about points 3 and 4 - Why do you think giving special discounts to Youtube channels with more than 100k subs will convert them to repeat customers?
