Description

Use a free and extremely simple design tool called Canva to create branded and beautiful YouTube thumbnail images within minutes.

Canva works with any computer - there is no download required.

This course is a complete walkthrough. I'll show you step by step how I design my YouTube thumbnail images. You can replicate exactly what I do and never have to hire a freelancer again.

WHY YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL IMAGES ARE SO IMPORTANT

The thumbnail image is often the first thing people see when they choose a video to watch. If your YouTube thumbnail image pops out more than the images of other videos, your videos will immediately get more views and with more views, you will grow on YouTube because YouTube will begin favoring your video in YouTube SEO and the YouTube recommendation algorithm.

WHY WE USE CANVA

Anyone can use Canva on any computer. It is free and it is great for non-designers. You don't want to learn a whole new software program to edit images. Learning a program like Photoshop is boring, too time-consuming, and unnecessary or distracting for YouTubers because your aim isn't to become a Photoshop designer. With Canva, you can do almost all necessary image editing in minutes and by yourself.

COMPLETE CLICK-BY-CLICK WALKTHROUGH

Watch how I design my images and get an inside view for how I think about the designs and how I think about grabbing attention of the potential viewers. Follow exactly what I do and get great YouTube thumbnails quickly.

3-time bestselling Amazon author with some of my books used in universities and high schools across the country.

20+ time Udemy bestselling instructor.

- 10+ years in entrepreneurship

- 10+ years in SEO and marketing

- Coached over 1,000 entrepreneurs

When you enroll in my courses, you get:

- Personal care and attention: I host regular office hours for my students and reply to 99% of student questions within 24 hours and my goal is to reply within 1 hour.

- Instructor with deep expertise, proven success, and knowledge that is both theoretical and practical.

I am committed to student success and go the extra mile to help students in my courses succeed at whatever they are working on, whether it is planning, starting or growing your business.

More about me:

I am also the creator of top entrepreneur mobile apps with 2,000,000+ downloads,  host of a popular business and marketing channel on YouTube with 3,000,000+ views, successful affiliate marketer, a serial entrepreneur in many other fields.

I have a BS in Computer Science from SJSU, and after working as a software engineer, I wanted to take a bigger role in the businesses I worked in, and that is how I got into business and marketing. Today, I am a world-class marketer and successful entrepreneur.

What I am interested in now when it comes to business:

I am a productivity and emotional intelligence geek. I geek out on things like motivation, building healthy habits, and creativity.

Some of my own favorite topics that I teach:

I have seen any of my students succeed in Amazon eCommerce. Selling on Amazon can be very lucrative and I love seeing my students do well.

I also teach many SEO topics that I myself use all the time. They include link-building, keyword research, and using other sites like YouTube, Amazon, and even freelancing sites like Fiverr as search engines to get discovered when people are searching.

My interests outside business and entrepreneurship:

I like playing soccer, chess, dabbling in philosophy, lots of different music, creating music, and writing lyrics. Plus, I am always daydreaming about finally getting a dog (a rescue from a shelter, of course).
