The thumbnail goes a long way in getting people to decide whether or not to view your video, so it’s important to make it interesting to your target audience. You shouldn’t however, give people the wrong impression about your video just to get them to watch, as this can backfire and cause them to click on the dislike button or leave negative comments.
Choosing the best category when you upload your videos to YouTube is another very important element when it comes to getting a well targeted audience.
