Create YouTube Thumbnails That Explode Your Views
The online thumbnail feedback community and course transforming educational YouTuber’s results.
Thumbnails are the single most important part of YouTube success.
It doesn’t matter how amazing your video is – if people don’t click. you’re not gonna grow and that’s why to me, they’re the number one thing to crack on YouTube.
But, it gets even crazier…
With sooo many competitors flocking to YouTube and mega creators dropping a cool $20,000 on a single image, how on earth are you supposed to keep up?
Well, you need a dynamic duo:
1. Killer skills to create ultra-clickable images
2.Feedback from others so you know what’s hot and what’s not
But here’s the thing: there hasn’t been a one-stop shop to learn all the ins and outs of effective thumbnail design, or a community of fellow YouTubers who really get what makes a thumbnail rock to provide feedback… until now.
That’s why I created Thumbnail University! 
After chatting with hundreds of YouTubers and realizing that they all faced the same growth roadblock (yep, you guessed it – thumbnails), I knew I had to build a course and feedback community that tackled this problem head-on.

Who's membership for?
Creators who:
- Create information based/educational videos
- Film in a studio setting & create talking head videos
- Want to learn strategy, photography, design and Photoshop
- Can comfortably afford this offering
- Are willing to invest in lighting, production kit and Photoshop if they do not have it already.
Who's membership NOT for?

My Guarantee
Heres the deal, this works if you ask us for feedback on all of your thumbnails and you watch the course.
So, if you watch all the content and submit every thumbnail for feedback within 30 days of completing the course, and our team signs them off as ready to launch, and you don’t start to see results, I’ll refund you.
Now when you think what that means… one of two things will happen, either:
You will grow your channel.
OR
It doesn’t work out for you, so I’ll give you your money back… which means you get awesome training for free.
However, this is unlikely to happen as it would ultimately mean, your motivation wasn’t there, and you didn’t follow through on getting myself and my team of professional thumbnail designers to help you as much as you possibly could.
Either way, you can not lose
FAQs
You can use your phone to take photos however you will need lighting and the ability to put your phone on manual settings.
The course encourages students to do things to a high standard so we will always advise a camera but a phone is a good place to start.
Thumbnail University is designed to help people who pass on information/educate.
If you are a vlog, gaming or 100% entertainment channel, this is not going to be the right fit for you.
If you’re not sure if its the right fit for you, contact hi@film-booth.com with your channel URL and we’ll let you know if you’re the right fit.
Thumbnails are so important they deserve laser focus.
For that reason there is no content on editing, storytelling, film making etc.
Its 100% thumbnail focused for serious creators who know how important they are.
Thumbnail University is a community feedback group and course not a 1-2-1 mentorship.
Myself and the team are in the community helping daily and what’s cool is, other members provide support too.
Please be aware, this isn’t on tap feedback with myself 24/7.
(I have to sleep)
The membership gives you access to the on demand content and community for 12 months because you need to consistently use it to improve.
For that reason there is no short term option because I believe short term mindsets kill YouTube channels.
If I had to pick between upgrading from a free editing software to a pro option or getting Photoshop, I’d pick Photoshop first.
In order to level up your images there is nothing else like it.
Thats why this course has been built around Photoshop.
Although you might get a lot of value from the photography and strategy modules we DO NOT advise you purchase this if you do not intend on using Photoshop.
The first thing we’ll do is burst in to your bedroom in the middle of the night and drag you out in to the street to complete a series of challenges…Only kidding, there is no hazing at this fraternity.
You’ll get an e-mail which will give you access to the video platform and community chat.
An e-mail will talk you through it all.
There are no payment plans for Thumbnail University.
Heres the deal, this works if ask us for feedback on your thumbnails and you watch the course.
So, if you watch all the content and submit every thumbnail you create for feedback within 30 days of completing the course, and our team signs them off as ready to launch, and you don’t start to see results, I’ll refund you.
Now when you think what that means… one of two things will happen, either:
You will grow your channel.
OR
It doesn’t work out for you, so I give you your money back… which means you get awesome training for free.
However, this is unlikely to happen as it would ultimately mean, your motivation wasn’t there, and you didn’t follow through on getting myself and my team of professional thumbnail designers to help you as much as you possibly could.
Either way, you can not lose.
The results are waiting for you
The feedback community and course is tried and tested, and information based YouTubers are seeing amazing results.
However, the key to success lies in your level of commitment.
If you’re truly determined to grow your channel, and you’re ready to put in the work and utilize all the feedback and help we’re willing to give you.
The results you’re looking for are waiting inside.
