Enhancing Content with Thumbnails
Adding an attractive thumbnail to your embedded content can significantly increase engagement by capturing your audience's attention.
Why Thumbnails Matter
Improved Visibility: A visually appealing thumbnail stands out, making your content more likely to be noticed.
Better Click-Through Rates: Eye-catching visuals encourage members to click and explore the content.
Professional Appearance: Consistent and well-designed thumbnails add credibility to your library.
How to Add or Update Thumbnails
When embedding content, look for the "Add Thumbnail" field.
Upload a high-quality image that represents the content clearly.
Ensure the thumbnail aligns with your community’s style and branding.
If the content auto-generates a thumbnail, consider replacing it with a customised one for greater impact.
Tips for Creating Effective Thumbnails
Use bright, contrasting colours to make the image stand out.
Include clear text overlays if the image alone doesn’t convey the content’s purpose.
Keep it simple and avoid cluttered visuals.
How to Make the Most of Embedded Content
Use Descriptive Titles:
Clearly state what the content is about to grab attention.
Add Relevant Tags:
Tags help personalise recommendations and improve discoverability.
Ensure Quality Sources:
Use trusted platforms and creators to maintain credibility.
Engage Your Audience:
Encourage members to comment, share, or discuss embedded content.
Regularly Update Links:
Check periodically to ensure all URLs remain active and relevant.
