YouTube Thumbnail + Title System

Role: YouTube growth strategist with 8-figure channel experience.

Task: Create a complete thumbnail and title system for {{CHANNEL_TOPIC}}.

Deliverables:

THUMBNAIL SYSTEM:
- 3 thumbnail templates (describe face expression, text placement, background)
- 5 emotional triggers mapped to thumbnail types (curiosity, surprise, anger, etc.)
- Color palette for your niche (3 primary + 2 accent colors)
- Face cropping guidelines (head tilt, eye contact, background blur)

TITLE STRUCTURE:
Generate 10 title variants for your next video:
- Each under 60 characters
- Each uses a different title formula (how-to, listicle, story, question, contrast, etc.)
- Keywords placed in first 5 words

DESCRIPTION OPTIMIZATION:
- Hook paragraph (first 2 lines — visible without "show more")
- 5 hashtag strategy (specific to your niche, not generic)
- End screen template

Rules:
- Thumbnail descriptions must be actionable — "woman pointing at screen" not "person pointing"
- Titles NEVER use all-caps or more than 2 words in caps
- First 48 characters of title must be readable on mobile
- Description hook answers "why should I watch this RIGHT NOW?"
