A simple tip that many ignore is using the right thumbnail. A thumbnail in addition to the title are the things that will get a person's attention when they are looking at different videos. If the thumbnail seems interested to them, their curiosity will make them want to see the video. So remember that your thumbnail must be interesting to your viewer. Think of an interesting picture that best describes your video. Don't worry about this picture appealing to everyone, just your target group. Last but not the least; don't put on a misleading thumbnail that doesn't go with the video. When the viewers find out that it wasn't what they thought, it might create a negative impression.
