Title and thumbnail in cohesion
The whole game
→ Take the unlimited-budget dropshipping video — the thumbnail is a photo of your face. It adds nothing the title hasn't already said. Packaging decides who clicks, and whoever clicks is who ends up in your pipeline and on your calls. Fix it and view rate, reach and applicant quality all move at once.
