Put your face or main subject on the LEFT of the thumbnail — YouTube stamps the duration timestamp over the bottom-right corner and buries whatever lives there.
Your critical links and a keyword-rich 2-sentence summary go in the top 3 lines — that's all anyone sees before the 'More' fold.
Place mid-roll ads manually every 4 minutes at natural pauses and transitions — auto-placement drops them mid-sentence and viewers bail.
Set your playlist type to 'Official Series' in advanced settings — YouTube starts recommending your next episode sequentially in the sidebar.
Drop your main on-screen text in at 0.8 seconds instead of frame zero — the tiny delay catches mid-swipe and forces a pause to read.
Post an image poll on your Community tab comparing 4 thumbnail drafts — the interaction boosts your home-feed visibility AND picks your best thumbnail.
