- I'm gonna show you two ways to get more views,
subscribers, and even earn a little bit
of extra money using your existing YouTube videos.
All you'll need is a laptop computer and the free
TubeBuddy browser extension that I will link
in the comments below.
Starting with number one, end screen funnels.
End screens can be added to the last five to 20 seconds
of a video to encourage viewers to subscribe
or to watch more content.
And believe it or not, end screens can get your channel
thousands of extra views easily.
For example, we added this video on how
to get 1,000 subscribers without uploading
to one of our end screens.
And that video ended up getting an extra 10,000 views,
10,000 views just by adding the video at the end
of another video, which took me like a minute.
Promoting videos on your end screen is a nutty way
to get more views because every time a viewer reaches the
end of one video, another video from your channel gets
promoted for them to watch,
and this increases what YouTube calls session time.
That's the total time somebody spends watching videos on
YouTube in one sitting.
Just like YouTube loves watch time,
the YouTube algorithm loves session time,
and if you have 10, 20, 30 plus videos on your channel,
you can use all of them to start increasing your channel
session time and to start pouring views
into every new video you upload.
Let me show you how.
Start by going to your content in YouTube studio.
Hit video details, editor, then end screens.
Then you're going to click video.
This is where you can choose what video you want viewers
to see at the end of a video.
You can choose a specific video, best for viewer,
which will have the YouTube algorithm customize what each
viewer sees, or you can choose most recent.
This will have the end screens on your videos dynamically
change to whatever your newest upload is.
Personally, I like this one
because it directs viewers from older content
to our latest content.
And because every time you upload a new video,
you'll get extra views from end screen traffic,
helping to get that amazing one out of 10.
Now you have one video pushing end screen traffic
to your newest video, but this method works even better when
you do it to multiple videos.
I mean, if one video can get our video an extra 10,000
views, what can 10, 20, 30 or more videos do?
And let me show you how to make that happen.
We're going to update your entire video catalog
to push traffic to all of your new uploads.
You could repeat this process for each video one by one,
but if you have a ton of videos, that would take forever.
So download the TubeBuddy browser extension,
which will automate the job for you.
I pinned a link to TubeBuddy right there
in the comments below.
Once you've got TubeBuddy set up, follow these steps.
Go back to the end screen you created.
Click save as template at the bottom.
Title it something like New Video Promotion.
Now go back to the video content page in YouTube Studio.
Click the bulk tools TubeBuddy dropdown .
Underneath end screens, click bulk copy.
Then click on the template you just created.
Next, you'll choose what videos
or playlists you want to copy that end screen to,
or click here to select your entire library, like we are.
Select all, then click next.
From here you can choose additional options like skip videos
that already have cards so you don't have
to worry about messing up things
that you already put in place.
Start copying and then over the course of a few minutes,
every single upload on your channel is going
to start promoting traffic to every new video
that you upload.
Here's an example of real-time views traffic
on one of our newer uploads.
And as you can see, end screens make up a large amount
of the views that are incoming.
All because we set up end screens like this.
It's a very simple strategy,
but being strategic with your end screens like this can
bring you a ton of extra views
and help boost every new video that you publish.
But that is just one way to get more views.
This next method can help you get more engagement
and make some money.
Description traffic.
If you've been creating for a while, odds are that some
of the information you had in your descriptions
could be updated.
Maybe it's an old link to a website
or maybe your social media handle changed,
or maybe you want to add something new,
like an affiliate link to a product
or Amazon Commission links
to all the gear you use in your videos
to help earn some extra money.
Over the last month, I made 300 extra bucks in Amazon
commissions without doing any extra work.
Right now you have a large library of videos
that could be working for you,
and I'm going to show you exactly how.
Lately I've been binging this creator named Colt Kirwan,
and I noticed that below his main video description is a
section that lists all of his social media accounts,
YouTube friends, and all of his gear using commission links.
If somebody ends up clicking this link
and then purchasing something he uses,
he'll receive a small commission.
Your YouTube description is a great way to promote yourself
and products this way.
And when you have a large amount of videos,
all of them can be used to focus traffic
into the areas you want viewers to go.
And this is how you make that happen.
It starts really simple.
You just organize a list
of your social media handles and websites.
You can add affiliate links to softwares you use
and compile commission links
for all the things you use in your videos.
And then simply copy and paste this below
your main video description.
And once again, doing it to one video is great,
but doing it to a dozen or more videos is incredible.
You could bust open a million tabs
and then add the new information to each video one by one.
I mean, you can do that if you want.
That's going to take forever.
But once again, TubeBuddy allows you
to automate this process with a few simple clicks.
Go back to the content page in YouTube Studio.
Click the Bulk Tools menu again, then click find
and replace under bulk video processing.
Right here, you can choose whatever action you want
to start taking on your video descriptions,
but we are going to choose the one
that lets you add text at the end of a description, copy
and paste your text, then go through the same process as
before, let to software run.
And now all of your videos will have a description pushing
traffic to whatever destination you chose.
And here's a pro tip that handles all
of your existing videos,
but if you want that description
to show up in every new video you upload from here going
forward, go back to YouTube studio,
click settings at the bottom left, click upload defaults,
then paste the description you want
to automatically populate when you upload a new video.
So now all of your old videos have been updated
and now all of your future videos will be updated
with these links automatically.
You're welcome.
