“Do not judge a book by its cover.” 

We all know and love that saying. It seems so easy to do, right? Wrong. In fact, that statement is the opposite of what people do. In the business world, how you present yourself matters. On social networks like Facebook and Instagram, your visual aesthetic is the determining factor of your long-term success. Today, we will be focusing on YouTube.

Everybody knows YouTube. YouTube is one of the largest search engines, just right after Google. It also happens to be the second most popular website worldwide. That’s why YouTube marketing is a huge strategy for businesses in every industry. (Don’t even get us started on the magic of YouTube influencers.)

So where does “not judging a book by its cover” come into play with YouTube marketing and advertising? Simply put, the target audience whose attention you’re attempting to capture will judge you based on one important factor: your YouTube thumbnail image.

leverage YouTube advertising

Brand advertising on YouTube has been around for a while now. However, adopting the platform for direct response B2B advertising is relatively new. Unlike branding, direct response focuses on compelling people to take immediate action after watching an ad. This action can be visiting a site, sign-up, download, or purchase, which an advertiser can then track and measure later.
