Design 3 YouTube thumbnail concepts for a high-CTR. Variant 1: 'Shock and Awe' (Extreme expression + large text). Variant 2: 'The Comparison' (Before/After split). Variant 3: 'The Minimalist' (High-quality asset + mysterious title). Focus on high-contrast colors, legible font on small mobile tiles, and rule-of-thirds composition.

Optimize videos for YouTube search. SEO factors: 1. Keyword-rich titles (front-loaded). 2. Detailed descriptions (200+ words). 3. Tags (mix of broad and specific). 4. Custom thumbnails with text. 5. Closed captions and transcripts. 6. Cards and end screens. 7. Playlists for session time. 8. Engagement signals (likes, comments, shares). Use TubeBuddy or VidIQ. Focus on CTR and watch time.
