The Attention Cartel

For long-form interview channels

Nobody watches the video first. They choose the thumbnail

One title and image, seen for a fifth of a second, decides whether your interview does four thousand views or four million. Same guest. Same edit. Same hour of work. Different thumbnail.

This finds it for you. Send your guest one questionnaire and we surface the exact title worth putting on the thumbnail — give you a guide to follow for making the image — then hand you a full blown, hyper engaged and retention proof script flow PDF for every single interview you do.

0.2 sec

The time your thumbnail gets before a viewer scrolls past it.

1 frame

The single image that carries every view the video will ever earn.

5 rules

What separates a thumbnail that gets clicked from one that gets ignored.

01

Send the questionnaire

Add a guest, send them a private link. Seven sections built to surface the moment worth putting on the thumbnail — the thing they probably shouldn't say out loud.

02

They hit submit

The system reads every answer and finds the revelation: the face, the number, the admission your thumbnail is going to be built around.

03

The thumbnail brief

Five rules, cleared one by one — one readable subject, one emotion, three words maximum, legible at 120 pixels wide, and a frame that contradicts the title just enough to make the click unavoidable.

04

The line that finishes it

Nine titles from their own words, pressure tested six ways. The thumbnail and the title are one sentence — you don't ship until both halves land.

05

The interview PDF

A downloadable 45-minute run-sheet built from their answers — five acts, the exact questions to ask, and the structure and flow to follow for maximum viewership, including where retention sags and the line that pulls them back.
