Thumbnail and hook test for Education & Explainers channels
Your thumbnail is judged next to real education & explainers videos, by people who watch education & explainers videos anyway. Not by your friends, and not by a general audience that would click anything.
Sign up gives you 5 credits. One review you give = one credit.
What your thumbnail is up against
Explainer thumbnails compete on the question, not the visual: if the promise is not legible in four words, the click goes to the channel that wrote it plainly.
Where the first 60 seconds usually breaks here
Explainers lose people when the answer is postponed — a minute of context before the question is even restated.
How matching works
You pick Education & Explainers as your niche and your language when you sign up. Tests are offered to reviewers in the same niche and language first, and you can opt into up to three extra niches and two extra languages if you want more to review.
What a test looks like
- One to three thumbnails and titles, plus your first 60 seconds.
- Each reviewer sees one thumbnail-title pair in a feed with five real videos from the niche.
- They say what the video promises, then watch until they would have left.
- You ask for 5, 10 or 15 reviewers — one credit each, unused credits refunded after 72 hours.
