But what's more remarkable than that is what she teaches, because she lives in France, okay? Do you know what she teaches? What? She teaches English to non-English speakers. Okay. That's her whole niche. Wow. Like, what are you talking about? It was mind-blowing. So the first question, if I'm looking at how can I build a YouTube channel, first question is this, how can I get people to click?

Okay, a couple things. These components make a great thumbnail, in my opinion. Curiosity. And I'll tell you how I create that. It's very different than asking a question. Because asking questions doesn't create curiosity. It actually kills curiosity. So curiosity, contrast, conflict, controversy, or confusion. All the C's. Those are the five things.
