Thumbnail and hook test for Gaming channels
Your thumbnail is judged next to real gaming videos, by people who watch gaming 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
Gaming feeds are crowded with the same game key art, so the question is whether a viewer can tell in half a second that your video is about a different moment than the other five.
Where the first 60 seconds usually breaks here
Gaming videos lose people to menu screens, mic levels and thirty seconds of setup before anything is actually played.
How matching works
You pick Gaming 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.
