MrBeast thumbnails are actually....
Average.
Yeah I said it, they are not the reason why he gets his views..
If you think otherwise you'll get stuck, and stop growing.
Here's what's NOT Average about his channel:
His branding is not average.
The audience he built is not average
His built trust is not average
His ideas are not average
Actually, His Ideas are not the reason he gets his views ANYMORE either..
Why? It's actually quite simple..
It's the combination of all those things built over a long enough time, build his audience.
Every video built his audience, his trust, and his branding.
All of that added up now, gives him 100M views.
If MrBeast started again, the same videos would not get the same views.
These ideas aren't something that gets 100M views+ on their own, if you understand this you can build your channel.
You have to see your every video as a chess move of a very long game.
The beginners have to just learn the rules.
The Grandmasters play on another level..
Needless to say everything MrBeast does IS good but many people simply focus too much on these factors while missing the crucial aspect of the AUDIENCE.
Think about YOUR viewers.
BUILD them up.
Yes, that takes time.
