🚨 Big News Tomorrow - Save the Date & Get Ready to Help! 🚀

I have some BIG news to share with you...

Tomorrow, we're launching ThumbnailCreator on Product Hunt - & it's going to be one of the most important days in ThumbnailCreator’s history. 🚀

ThumbnailCreator is our AI YouTube Thumbnail Creation Software!

I'm sending this email today because I want to give you a heads up so you can be ready to help us hit #1 Product of the Day the moment we go live tomorrow morning.

Plus - tomorrow only, I'm unlocking the first-ever discount on ThumbnailCreator (30% off for 3 Months) exclusively for people who Upvote us on Product Hunt!

Here's a Sneak Peek at What's Inside This Email:

Alright, let's Dive In...

For those who don't know, Product Hunt is the #1 place on the internet where new products launch to the world. Every single day, thousands of makers compete to be featured as the #1 Product of the Day - & the winners get exposure to hundreds of thousands of founders, marketers, creators & investors.

Hitting #1 Product of the Day is one of the most coveted milestones a software company can achieve.

Tomorrow, we're going for it.

After 2+ years of building, training AI models, refining, & testing ThumbnailCreator with 15,000+ creators - we're putting it in front of the entire Product Hunt community.

👉 Here's the Direct Link to Our Launch Page (Bookmark This!)

And I'm asking for your help to make sure we hit #1. 🙏

I've been on YouTube for 16+ years now & in that time, I've seen one pattern over & over again with EVERY successful channel I've worked with...

The Thumbnail is the #1 thing that determines whether a video gets watched.

You can have the best content in the world. The best hook. The best edit. But if the thumbnail doesn't get the click, none of that matters.

The problem? Great Thumbnails take HOURS to create. Or you hire a designer at $50-$200 a pop. Or you use a generic AI tool that gives you melted faces & generic-looking thumbnails that scream "AI made this."

So my Co-Founder Greg & I set out to build the tool we wished existed.

ThumbnailCreator lets you:

✅ Paste an Unlisted YouTube URL → Our AI watches your video & generates Thumbnails based on what's actually IN it

✅ Face-Aware AI that keeps YOU looking like YOU (no melted faces, no AI weirdness)

✅ Style Cloning so every Thumbnail matches your channel's brand identity

✅ Instant variations for A/B Testing so you can find your winners faster

✅ AI Optimize to upgrade Thumbnails you've already made

It's already helped 15,000+ creators get more clicks, more views, & more growth on their channels. And tomorrow, we get to share it with the entire Product Hunt community! 🎉

Here's the part I'm most excited to share with you...

For the FIRST time ever, we're offering 30% off ThumbnailCreator for 3 Months.

This is the only discount we've EVER offered on ThumbnailCreator since we launched. No Black Friday deal. No anniversary sale. Nothing.

And it's ONLY available tomorrow to people who go to Product Hunt & use the special code shared on our launch page.

If you've been thinking about giving ThumbnailCreator a try... tomorrow is THE day to lock in 30% off for 3 Months. 🎯

To make tomorrow as smooth as possible, here are 3 quick things you can do RIGHT NOW so you're ready to Upvote the moment we go live:

If you don't already have a Product Hunt account, create one here for free. It takes about 60 seconds & it ensures your Upvote actually counts tomorrow (Product Hunt only counts votes from accounts that are at least a few hours old).

This is THE most important step - because if you wait until tomorrow to create your account, your Upvote may not count toward our ranking.

Bookmark our Product Hunt launch page right here so you can easily come back tomorrow morning to Upvote!

I'll be sending you the direct Upvote link the moment we go live tomorrow morning. All you'll need to do is click the link, hit the Upvote button, & grab your 30% off discount code. The whole thing takes 30 seconds. ⏰

Product Hunt launches run on a 24-hour clock based on PST. The earlier the Upvotes come in, the more momentum the launch builds, & the higher we climb the rankings throughout the day.

That means the FIRST few hours after we go live are absolutely critical.

The makers who win Product Hunt are the ones whose communities show up early & strong. So when you see my email tomorrow morning, please prioritize clicking that Upvote link as soon as you can. 🙏

I never want to send a Marketing Minds Newsletter without giving you real value - so here's one of my favorite Thumbnail strategies that's helped our clients dominate YouTube:

The biggest mistake most creators make with Thumbnails is making them too "explanatory."

They try to summarize the entire video in the Thumbnail - which kills curiosity & kills clicks.

Instead, your Thumbnail should create a "Curiosity Gap" - showing JUST enough to make someone NEED to click to find out what's inside.

Tease, don't tell.

Show the result, not the process. Show the surprise, not the setup. Show the transformation, not the steps.

Example: Instead of a Thumbnail that says "5 Tips for Better YouTube Ads" (boring, explanatory)... try "I Spent $7.7M on YouTube Ads. Here's What Worked." (intriguing, gap-creating).

This single mindset shift can dramatically lift your CTR - & it's built directly into how ThumbnailCreator's AI generates Thumbnails for you.

I want to be real with you for a moment...

Building ThumbnailCreator has been a 2+ year journey of late nights, rebuilds, AI training cycles, & constant iteration. Greg & I poured our hearts into this tool because we genuinely believe it can help creators & businesses get more views, more leads, & more impact from their YouTube content.

A successful Product Hunt launch tomorrow can put ThumbnailCreator in front of hundreds of thousands of new founders, creators, marketers & businesses who could benefit from it.

That's why this matters so much. And that's why I'm sending you this email TODAY - so you can be ready to help us hit #1 tomorrow morning. 🚀

If you've gotten value from this Newsletter, from my YouTube channel, or from any of our trainings over the years... tomorrow is the one day I'm asking you to give back in a small way that means a HUGE amount to us. 🙏

You are the BEST audience an entrepreneur could ask for. The replies, the feedback, the comments I get every Friday from this Newsletter genuinely fuel me to keep showing up & creating valuable content week after week.

So thank you - in advance - for being ready to show up for us tomorrow. It means more than you know. 🙏

I'll see you in your inbox FIRST THING tomorrow morning with the launch link!

To Your Success,
