Do you have a Twitch profile? Want to make it more attention-grabbing and informative to your audience? Consider writing a Twitch bio for your streaming profile to bring more viewers to your channel, and (hopefully) make more money in the process.
Twitch is a live streaming platform focused on gaming. Users can watch channel owners play video games in real time. They may also send donations to Twitch gamers. If you want to accept your donations, your bio can prompt your viewers to donate.
As a platform, Twitch seeks to build out more unity and interaction among enthusiastic online gamers. It takes the idea of engaging in multiplayer games to the next level, giving outside users a chance to observe their live streams in real time. Gamers play while commenting live, and viewers can drop comments in the chat box while they watch.

Optimize your YouTube thumbnails with these dimensions: 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels tall, with a minimum width of 640 pixels. A ratio of 16:9 is ideal as it’s used most often in YouTube players and previews.
If you want to get more views on your YouTube videos, there’s one tactic you can use to get them instantly: use better thumbnail images.

Since these image thumbnails also show up on Google’s search engines, they’re essential to maximize your impressions.

LinkedIn image size, including recommended pixel sizes and aspect ratio, directly impacts how your images appear in the feed, on your profile, on your company page, and in your sponsored content.
A poorly-sized picture can result in awkward cropping or automated thumbnail images, meaning your network won’t get the full effect of your content. Even worse, your bad images might be the only thing they remember about you.
While LinkedIn isn’t heavily dependent on images, a poorly-chosen image can negatively impact your professional appearance on the platform. The last thing you want is for someone to scroll straight past your brilliant content simply because the image was cropped in an awkward way.
Even worse than that, you could be losing money you’ve invested in ad campaigns due to bad image quality. And unfortunately, it’s possible for an ad to run despite the bad image attached to it. It’s hard enough to miss a good opportunity because of issues with your brand aesthetic. But it’s even worse to lose out on ROI because your ad images aren’t in top shape.
Thankfully, it’s possible to avoid problems with your LinkedIn images before they begin. All it takes is a bit of know-how and planning ahead. In order to properly plan your LinkedIn images, you’ll want to know what the ideal sizes should be. [continue reading…]
