What separates a scroll-past vlog thumbnail from a click
Vlog viewers click on a real face + an emotion + a place / activity. The top vloggers (Casey Neistat, Emma Chamberlain, Zoella, Flying The Nest) all show themselves front-and-center with a curious or shocked expression and a 2-3 word teaser. AI builds this exact formula in one prompt.
Popular vlog prompts
"Bali beach sunset vlog, me smiling, palm trees, PARADISE text"
"Tokyo Shibuya night walk, neon lights, shocked face, WOW text"
"Family day at Disneyland, kids laughing, castle bg, MAGIC text"
"$1 vs $100 street food, split screen, hungry face, TASTE TEST text"
