From YouTuber to YOUTUBER

Thus, in capital letters, let everyone recognize you.

Michael was a fan of Fornite and one day he decided to share his gaming with the world. It did not take him long to learn how to use the video editing and screen recording programs. Although he spent many hours editing the videos, the result was spectacular because he is an incredible player. The result of these two elements could only end with success, right? Well, things are not always that easy in the YouTube world because there are millions of users like him with similar content. What could he do to differentiate himself from the rest?

Michael realized that when he would watch videos, he would pick them by the thumbnail. So he decided that he needed to create an impressive thumbnail in order to increase the number of views to his channel. He faced another problem; how to design a spectacular thumbnail without having any design experience. He tried different graphic design programs without having good results. Some of the programs required fees and others were difficult to use.

His best friend recommended EDIT, where he would find a large number of completely customizable templates for free. Michael only took 5 minutes to create the design he wanted for his video. In the following template, the time was reduced by half because he could easily modify the design he had already created. Michael started creating custom thumbnails for all his videos and "the difference was amazing" according to him. Today, he his channel has more than 56,000 subscribers with an average of 2 videos per week!
