Best Practices to Improve Click Potential
AI works best when you guide it with clear intent. Focus on a single promise, a clear subject, and a simple composition. Then create variants that change one variable at a time—headline, color, framing, or emotion—so you can learn what your audience responds to.
- Keep the main subject large and easy to recognize
- Use a short, specific hook instead of long text
- Create 3–5 variations that test one change at a time
- Match the thumbnail promise to the video’s first 10 seconds
