    Do you realize that your title and thumbnail could literally make or break your video? It doesn't matter how incredible your content is, the story you told, or the fancy video editing you've done. All that work will go to waste if the title and thumbnail fail to do their job. We aren't trying to scare you here. But we know how much effort you are putting into your videos and we hate to see them being left unviewed due to having bad titles and thumbnails.

    Viewers abandoning your content is terrible for your channel. If people leave your content early, they are sending a HUGE negative viewer signal to the YouTube algorithm saying, "People don't like this!"

    Part of being a YouTube creator is finding that balance between what we think is good and what the data actually tells us is good content. We want better content and better results, but we have a tendency to do things that irritate our viewers. Because of these things, no one clicks or people abandon our content quickly which makes the YouTube algorithm throw us in its proverbial garbage bin. If only there was a way to know what these things were so we can prevent that.... Good news: There is! And that's what we are going to talk about today.
