ThumbAd

Monetize your Thumbnail

Visit

ThumbAd is first ever platform to allow monetization of your YouTube thumbnails.


It's really simple: YouTubers rent out their thumbnails → Brands get promoted → YouTubers earn.


Not everyone watches the in-video sponsored segment-it’s often skipped or ignored.


BUT everyone sees your thumbnail before opening the video!


Brand awareness, exposure, and mindshare have far higher impact and conversion than long ads that everyone skips.


Rent it. Monetize it.
