YouTube just made life easier for creators.

Custom Shorts thumbnails are finally available on desktop.

No more adding fake intro frames to your videos or scrambling to adjust thumbnails on mobile before publishing. You can now upload and customize your Shorts thumbnail directly from your desktop workflow.

It's a small update, but one that saves time and gives creators more control over how their content appears in the feed.

If you're posting Shorts regularly, this is something you'll want to start taking advantage of. A good thumbnail can make all the difference when it comes to grabbing attention.

Are you team "design every thumbnail" or "let YouTube decide"?

Stop treating carousels as just another post format.

When done right, carousel posts can become one of the most effective tools for growing your reach, educating your audience, and building authority online.

Here's why they work:

✓ They keep people engaged longer through every swipe
✓ They help break down ideas into easy-to-digest content
✓ They encourage saves and shares, which signal value to the algorithm
✓ They allow you to tell a story without overwhelming your audience

The best part? You don't need complicated designs or lengthy captions. Just clear messaging, valuable insights, and a structured flow.

If you're creating content for your business, carousels are worth adding to your content strategy.

Have you tried using carousel posts for your brand yet?

Typography is one of the fastest ways to change how a brand feels.

A single font pairing can make a brand look:
• Modern
• Premium
• Technical
• Editorial
• Timeless

Here are a few combinations we’ve been seeing more often lately:

Open Sauce + Times New Roman
Modern minimalism meets classic editorial.

JetBrains Mono + Helvetica
Clean, technical, system-driven aesthetic.

New Icon Condensed + Ovo
High-fashion, curated, visual-heavy branding.

EB Garamond + Pinyon Script
Timeless luxury with a more romantic tone.

Most brands don’t need “fancy” fonts.
They need the right personality and contrast.

Good typography quietly changes how people perceive your business before they even read a word.
