| Testing on a published video (HIGH RISK) | Testing with Thumblytics (NO RISK) |
|---|---|
| Play it safe and only test small changes so you don't ruin your video | Test more ambitious changes and get larger CTR improvements |
| Waste the initial spike in views of your new video | Maximize the impact of your initial spike in views |
| Noisy data - live videos are influenced by many factors other than thumbnail choice | Our tests isolate the CTR differences between variants with controlled experiments |
| Annoyed subscribers - your fans get confused when your thumbnails and titles change too often | Pre-test your thumbnails and avoid confusing your fans |
| Wait 19+ days to “A/B test” a thumbnail* | Get actionable results in less than 2 days |
| Test at most 2-3 thumbnails per video every 2-3 weeks | Test as many as you want at the same time |
* A/B tests on live videos should be conducted over a minimum of 2 weeks to account for differences in viewership by the day of the week (e.g. viewership may be higher over the weekend when people have more free time). This means the earliest date your optimised thumbnail can be used is 19 days after publishing (5 days (can’t A/B test on new videos) + 14 days for A/B test)
